File Name: Classified Primary Military Specialty: Arctic Operations Secondary Military Specialty: Infantry Birthplace: Various Countries SN: N/A Grade: N/A Bio: Snow Serpents are the Arctic Specialist branch of the Cobra EEL unit (Cobra frogmen). They must undergo the same rigorous training program as Cobra EEL troops with the addition of a six-month cold weather course somewhere above the Arctic Circle. Other aspects of their training include airbourne operations (under arctic conditions), anti-tank procedures and the use of snowshoes, skis, and kayaks. Comments: “If the Cobra EEL troops are the elite Cobra naval branch, then the Snow Serpents are the best of the best. How else could you characterize an individual who would parachute onto an ice floe in sub-zero temperatures and then be prepared to march 50 miles with full field pack, assault rifle, and ant-tank weapons?”

Points of Interest:
The Snow Serpent (Cobra Polar Assault) figure accurately updates the original design which debuted in series four of the original G.I. Joe A Real American Hero line in 1985. This new version differs slightly from the original 1985 figure, in that the 2008 version features removeable shoulder fur covers and webbing (were moulded onto the torso of the original).
