Cobra Stinger Driver's entire body was from the same exact mold as the swivel-arm version of Cobra Officer. The mold was later used for Python Trooper from the eighth series (1989).
Note that the figure's head only turns left and right - it does not allow the head to look up and down. The heads only turned left and right until the the swivel ball head that was introduced in 1985 (Series Four).
International Variants
In the United Kingdom and Europe, Cobra Stinger Driver was named simply "Driver" and released with the Night Attack Jeep.
Versions of Cobra Stinger Driver
