Cobra Strikes Again! G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Night Attack 4WD Stinger with Driver is In Stock!
Alright, Joe fans, this one’s a big deal! If you missed the pre-order window for the G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Night Attack 4WD Stinger, you’re in luck because it’s in stock right now! Yeah, I missed covering this one when it first went up for pre-order (shame on me), but we’re here to fix that mistake and give this release the attention it deserves.
The Stinger Jeep has been a Cobra staple since the ’80s, and now it’s back in 6-inch Classified scale with a fully articulated driver to match. If you ever spent your childhood storming G.I. Joe headquarters with a fleet of Stingers, this one’s going to hit all the nostalgia buttons.
Let’s break it all down and see why this is one of the best vehicle releases in the Classified Series so far.
The History of the Cobra Stinger: A True Classic
Let’s rewind to 1984, when Hasbro first introduced the Cobra Stinger as part of the original G.I. Joe A Real American Hero toy line. Back then, the Joes had the V.A.M.P. Jeep, so Cobra needed their own high-speed tactical attack vehicle.
The Stinger wasn’t just a repaint of the V.A.M.P.—it had a whole new identity. With its black and gray military aesthetic, missile rack, and Cobra Officer driver, it became one of the most recognizable Cobra vehicles of all time. It was fast, aggressive, and perfect for ambushes against the Joes.
Over the years, the Stinger has been reissued in various forms, but this Classified Series version is the biggest and best yet.
Toy Description: Cobra’s Attack Vehicle, Upgraded
The G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Night Attack 4WD Stinger brings everything we loved about the original and scales it up for the modern collector. Here’s what you’re getting:
Vehicle Features:
- 6-inch scale: Finally, the Stinger is properly sized for the Classified Series, making it one of the first must-have vehicles in the line.
- Sleek black finish: The matte black body with gray and red accents pays homage to the original 1984 version while making it look even more menacing.
- Removable missile rack: The four red missiles on the back can be attached, detached, and repositioned, making for awesome display options.
- Detailed cockpit: The interior is fully sculpted, featuring a detailed dashboard, seats, and control panel, making it feel like a real military-grade assault vehicle.
- Functional wheels and suspension: Yep, this thing actually rolls, and the wheels have a realistic rugged tire sculpt that makes it look ready for action.
- Removable doors: The side doors can snap on and off, so you can display it as an open-top assault vehicle or fully enclosed for armored ops.
Cobra Stinger Driver Figure:
No Cobra vehicle is complete without a proper driver, and this Cobra Stinger Driver is an absolute beast.
- Classic Cobra Officer Design: The driver sports a black uniform with red Cobra sigils, gray tactical vest, and matching helmet, staying true to the vintage figure’s design.
- Fully Articulated: Just like other Classified figures, the Stinger Driver features 20+ points of articulation, allowing for seated, standing, and combat-ready poses.
