Body Construction
Cobra Commander's body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures.
The entire mold was re-used in 2000 to create Cobra Commander (v9).
Cobra Commander's head, front torso, arms, waist, and legs were recolored and re-used in 1993 to create Cobra Commander (v6). The waistpiece was also re-used in 2000 to create Rip It.
Note that the backpack is not easily removable. To remove the backpack, the backpack needs to be opened by unscrewing the four visible screws. Once the backpack is opened, inside are four long screws that attach the backpack to the figure.
