Yo Joe!
Cobra Eel (Cobra Frogman)

Character Bio:
By Vince Zannelli

File Name: Various
Primary Military Specialty: Underwater Demolitions
Secondary Military Specialty: Marine Engineering
Birthplace: Various
Bio: COBRA EEL troopers are the underwater demolition specialists of the COBRA legions. They man and operate the COBRA marine outposts disguised as off-shore drilling rigs and augment the crews of larger COBRA naval vessels. COBRA EEL troopers undergo a rigorous two-part training program in the warm shark- and pirate-infested waters of the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean and in the frigid, dark depths of the North Atlantic. Their training regimen includes marine structural engineering, explosive ordnance, underwater fighting techniques and marine geology. "We are experts in underwater operations. If you need it built, seized, destroyed or anything in between, we make it happen."

The Cobra Eel is a new sculpt based on the 1985 series 4 figure of the same name and includes removable SCUBA apparatus (backpack, hoses, and mask), harpoon gun, two knives, swimming fins, and stand. While not predominantly featured in the original animated series, Eels have always been a fan favorite due to their appeal as the first Cobra water-based trooper at a time when the G.I. Joe team already had several water-based characters, vehicles, and accessories.
