Hey guys,
as some of you may remember I have been on a search for a V1 Cobra Commander in good condition for awhile.. I have nearly every CC figure produced as he is almost all I collect, but the V1 had evaded me back in the day I did this: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...key-mouse.html made it into a minnie mouse (lol), it was so yellowed before I tried that, I didn't have much to lose, still a tragedy, and cost me $100 I then received an offer from a member on this forum, he sent me one out of the kindness of his heart since mine was ruined, it never came, the post office must have lost it... alas it seemed this was out of reach. UNTIL: I saw on ebay (yes ebay :s) an auction for a MM Cobra Commander that a guy has had since 1982, left in a box, never played with, just found it... seemed too good to be true. BUT IT WASN'T! I paid (what I thought at the time too much) $130 but it turned out to be a steal, as these figures are very prone to yellowing, or wear on the face mask, etc... It literally has been sitting in the dark all this time and is MINT, I mean perfect, not one bit of age or wear shown. I may not have much money but I figured I owed it to the community to have it AFA/CGC graded and put in a UV box so I can display it. Not sure what its worth now?? $250 invested in it at this point but it's worth a lot to me, and more importantly its preserved for a long time now. AFA gave me a population report. It's the highest grade this figure has ever received, along with 2 others. 85+nm its only flaw is a small streak of black paint on a back leg done when factory produced. ANYWAY, Here is the pictures!

I've always been wary of getting a Mickey Mouse CC. I feel like theyre easy to fake these days. Anyone have any knowledge of that ever happening? Seems like Ive seen a lot on ebay, like more than I should.

Thats awesome man, I have a v1 CC from 82 but it isn't a MM version so I guess mine was one of the later ones to get mailed out. My CC is in pretty good shape as CC didn't get his hands dirty in my world but the one you have puts mine to shame!
Enjoy your figure!!! |

Awesome score! This is a figure I've wanted for a long time as well and was recently checking ebay. Lucky for you we didn't cross paths lol!
I had about five mail away cobra commanders when I was a kid. For some reason my dad just kept sending away for them. Some were traded to friends back then, others were lost. The one I still have from then is not MM, but I always wonder if I ever had one. Back then I would not have even noticed the difference.
