1992 Hasbro GI Joe Cobra Ninja Viper Bagged AFA 85 NM+

A stealthy mail-away mystery! 🥷 The 1992 Hasbro G.I. Joe Cobra Ninja Viper, graded AFA 85 NM+, is a rare bagged figure from Hasbro Direct’s mail-order program—this particular version shipped without swords, making it a notable variant among collectors.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

• 🧍♂️ Character Lore: Ninja Vipers are elite Cobra martial artists trained in silent infiltration and sabotage. Though they share the mold of Storm Shadow V1, their teal uniform and red filecard set them apart.

• 📦 Packaging Variant:

  • Offered via Hasbro Direct from 1992–1993 through promos like Terror on the Tundra and Menace in the Wilderness.

  • Some versions included light gray or dark gray swords, while others—like this one—were shipped without weapons, either due to packaging variation or factory oversight.

  •  Grading Insight:

    • AFA 85 NM+ indicates near-mint condition with excellent preservation of the polybag and filecard.

    • The figure remains sealed in its original bag, authenticated and encased for archival display
