I think that 84 could possibly be the best year of the cobra figures. we got firefly, storm shadow, baroness, zartan and throw in wild weasel and copperhead. I mean in my opinion that is pretty tough to beat. curious to how this thread will go and other tankers opinion.

The 1983 line will always be my favorite but the 1984 line was really the one that put GIJOE RAH to legendary status

Any year that has Zartan has a lot going for it. I don't know that it was the best Cobra year though, just because it didn't have any army builders.
85 had the Dreadnoks, Eels, Snow Serpents, Crimson Guards, the Crimson Twins, Tele-Viper, and Lamprey. I think that was probably the best army building year. Though 86 did have two of the best army builders ever in Viper and BATs. Also, I really loved all of the specalized Vipers from 89 and 90. Honestly, I don't think I can pick one year. |

I agree with '84 being the best year for Cobra. We finally got a Hooded Cobra Commander and Baroness (wanted them since issue #1), new characters Firefly, Scrap Iron, Wild Weasel, and Copperhead, a new generic soldier in the Stinger Driver, and of course Zartan, one of the coolest action figures ever. And oh yeah, Storm Shadow....kids in my school were literally killing each other for him. Yes, killing each other.
1985 was also pretty good with the Drednoks and new army builders in the Crimson Guard, Tele-Vipers, Eels, and Snow Serpents, and while '87-'89 had TONS of new ___Vipers, etc., nothing beats '84 for the important Cobra characters. |

1984 is my favorite year, hands down, for everything -- vehicles, Cobras and Joes.

I think definitely yes, if you're talking about the classic Cobra characters. Army-builder wise, that'd have to go to '85 I think. Almost every year had a stand-out army-builder but '85 had several.
'86 is up there too, with the Vipers and BATs, as well as (love 'em or hate 'em) Mindbender and Serpentor.
