Overview

The Cobra Hammerhead was released by Hasbro in 1990 as part of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy line. This large aquatic assault vehicle was designed for Cobra underwater missions and coastal attacks. Its modular design features a central command module and smaller detachable watercraft, making it one of Cobra’s more distinctive marine vehicles from the 1990 range.

What Makes It Complete?

Check for the following components when assessing a Hammerhead:

• Main Hammerhead vehicle

• Command module and its canopy

• Two Sea Sleds

• Two one-man submarines

Recommended GIJoeForSale.com Price

For a clean, complete Hammerhead with Decimator, I would consider starting around €149.95–€169.95, provided the parts are original, the vehicle is in good working order and the stickers are in reasonable condition.

For an incomplete example, price it according to the exact missing components. A boxed example with all original contents can justify a higher price.

Collector Appeal

The 1990 Cobra Hammerhead is an appealing choice for collectors building a vintage Cobra vehicle collection, particularly those interested in aquatic vehicles and larger multi-part sets. Its detachable craft, included Decimator figure and numerous small components make completeness a key selling point.
