Hasbro Is Reissuing Cobra’s Missile Command Headquarters At Comic Con

One of the most obscure G.I. Joe releases is making its return at Comic Con.

Talk about a blast from the past! In the very earliest years of A Real American hero, the original G.I. joe playset was the incredibly rare and little remembered Cobra Missile Command Headquarters.  This set, a Sears exclusive back in 1982, contained three Cobra action figures and a multi-dimensional cardboard backdrop, which emulated a missile base being operated by the ruthless terrorist organization.

Now, Hasbro is bringing this set back in all its two-dimensional glory, replicating the cardboard playset perfectly and packing it with upgraded, Modern Era action figures of Cobra Commander, Cobra officer, and a Cobra Trooper… all packed in a box that reproduces the original releases artwork to a tee.

Being composed virtually entirely out of a biodegradable material, the original Missile Command Headquarters is probably the single hardest to find toy in the mass released Real American Hero toy line… so this re-release promises to be the perfect addition to any die-hard Joe fan’s collection.  Bravo, Hasbro!

Get more details on the new Cobra Missile Command Headquarters below, along with some photos courtesy of Hasbro.  This set will first be available at SDCC this July, but limited quantities will also be available at HasbroToyShop.com after the show.
