One of our all-time favorite franchises is bar-none, GI Joe. GI Joe created an unforgettable mural of colorful characters, and the never-ending battle between GI Joe and Cobra was one of the best tit for tat back and forths we are likely to ever see between two groups in pop culture.
At the helm of one of these groups was Cobra Commander, a somewhat childish, always terrible boss to work for mystery of a leader - with a knack for putting up a hissy fit and somehow being scary at the same time.
In honor of good ol' CC, here are some of his finest collectibles...

This hooded figure of Cobra Commander was one of the earliest of the GI Joe mail-away figures. You can still find a sealed-baggy figure on eBay for around $100.

This statue came as a regular and an exclusive (the exclusive featured a switch-out hooded head for display). One of the finest of the GI Joe dioramas put out by Sideshow. You can get one on eBay for around $350. Limited edition of 500.
Cobra Commander figure by Hasbro (1983)

One of the hottest of all carded GI Joe figures. This will run you a good $500 or more on eBay for one in decent condition. That's if you can find one - they're scarce.
See you all tomorrow for more collectible goodness!
