Does anyone know if the vintage Cobra Stinger armor pieces and missile rack will mount on the current VAMP without any modifications? My idea was to cannibalize a vintage Stinger for parts in order to build a custom Stinger using the new VAMP for added "fit" for the new figures.
Conversely: Does the vintage Stinger fit the 25th figures pretty well? I know the new VAMP has been upgraded for maximum "fit" but I was wondering if anyone had their own detailed opinions on the vintage Stinger with new 25th anniversary style figures. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I haven't tried the armor pieces, but the missile rack fitting is different; it would need to be modified to stay on. Vintage stinger doesn't have enough legroom to hold 25A style figures - same problem with the vintage Vamp.

Hi polyphenus. If you got to JoeCustoms.com I have two 25th Vamp/Stinger conversions displayed. Customizer name BCost74. I provide a tip to modding the missle system to fit the new Vamp. I was disappointed too hear Hasbro will be releaseing one but now I can make a 25th Dreadnok Ground assault....

These are some pics of one of the Custom 25th Stinger that I had made. I only made two. This one was made for and bought by Kenneth Riley Jr. I wish I could get in contact with him to find out if he is happy with it. I redesigned the box art to reflect Cobra and created a custom Stinger file card and redid the drivers card to reflect Kenneth's name as the file name. Anyone that is interested in make their own. I have a how to in JoeCustoms.com that accompanies my first Cobra Night Attack Stinger (BCost74). |

If Hasbin, I mean Hasbro releases the 25th Stinger, I'll buy a decal sheet from you to help with the cost. I found the decal sheet on YoJoe! archives for the Dreadnok Ground Assault. Wonder if any Tankers make custom decals???

Yes That is where I found them. I had someone clean up the photo resize it and increase the DPIs. The trouble is the cost to print 300 copies of nice repo stickers on clear material with white ink is hundreds of dollars. If I could sell 100 copies and at least break even i'd go forward with it. If we could get in contact with the member on yojoe.com that has the copy of the sheet an have him send it to J ruben he could make them. I would not look to Hasbro to put out a new stinger anytime soon. I am working on a new custom using the vamp.A cobra set that was only out in 1982 The M.S.V
