Funko POP! Ride Cobra F.A.N.G. #285 brought
Cobra Commander into collections in a dynamic vehicle format that stood out on any shelf. The compact helicopter and seated figure design made it a strong centerpiece for G.I. Joe displays, fitting seamlessly alongside standard Pops while adding motion and hardware detail. This Cobra Commander 2022 G.I. Joe Rides POP! Ride release appealed to fans who wanted the character not just as a figure, but actively piloting one of Cobra’s signature machines.
The sculpt showed Cobra Commander seated in the F.A.N.G. cockpit, hands on the controls, with a solid blue helmet and large visor that covered the entire face area, emphasizing his anonymous, commanding look. The black helicopter body featured red Cobra insignia and red missiles mounted along the sides, plus a rear rotor and landing skids that gave it a sturdy, display-ready base. As a POP! Ride, it measured larger than a standard POP, offering more vehicle detail while still matching the classic Funko proportions and simplified styling.
This item connected directly to the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (1983) show, translating the animated Cobra hardware into the Funko POP! Rides format
released in 2022. Positioned in the Rides category, it complemented other G.I. Joe Pops by adding a key Cobra vehicle to the lineup, letting collectors build a more complete representation of the
G.I. Joe franchise on their shelves.
