The eel is probably my favorite cobra character of all time. I remember when I found my first one in KB toys on a field trip. I had five dollars to buy myself a souvenir from the field trip. Can’t for the life of me remember what the field trip was, but I remember seeing this figure for the first time vividly. I bought two.
Today was the day I got my first vintage Eels figure ever. And the very first thought that came to my mind was to grab a beer and watch this video in sheer celebration and enjoyment. Thank you again HCC788. Your passion is envigorating and your videos are so fun to watch and learn. Keep it up dude! Cheers from Brazil.
I remember getting the Eels right after having my tonsils removed. I didn't even know the line of 1985 figures was out so he was a complete surprise! I still have him and he is amazingly complete with no broken parts. Definitely one of my top tier figures!
Up until hurricane Katrina, my brother and I had developed almost the entire collection of G.I. Joe from 84 to 1990. That included the USS flag, and the terror drome. Katrina decided that my collection would be better displayed over a six block radius around my moms demolished house. These reviews are bitter sweet, and the closest I have Do reliving my childhood
What's not to like about Eels? They are classic cobra aquatic troops, beautifully sculpted and had several comics to my enjoymemt, that had Eels as characters. They are also a great army builders and go perfectly with Hydro Vipers and Undertows.
Loved the cobra figures more than the gijoes ones long live cobraaaaa.
In my opinion this is the best cobra figure in the entire line. Realistic, awesome accessories and anchors the cobra navy. Heck you could even pop him into a cobra jet and he wouldn't look out of place
Fantastic review! the Eel has been one of my absolute favorite Cobra troops since I got one as a surprise from my mom one rainy day after getting home from preschool. There's definitely something very visually satisfying about the color scheme of the Eels too. I really hope we get a Classified Eel someday soon.
I had my EELS trooper from the late 80's till about 95. I have another EELS coming in too.
Amazing l had one "naked" that I bought to an old Man in a little Candy store when l was about 8 yo. He had a bunch in display for 2 pesos (equal to 2 dollars back then). Best toy l ever had
Great way to end Cobra month!
I recently purchased 1 and It’s so amazing! His 25th version also very good
This was my absolute favorite character from the time it came out until now.
Such a perfect figure taking me back to the review again today!
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! The Baroness copping a feel was great!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
omg, so young here.
Yah, I've been watching your channel for long enough that I can remember when you were a baby.
Always liked the Vipers and Eels they had great looks
I never had one as a kid, since we only started getting the figures in our house here in Australia in '87. But I used to see the Eels in comics and catalogues and I wondered how I could get one. More than 30 years later and I finally picked one up; I was not disappointed. Just about the greatest figure ever released, Joe or Cobra, in the ARAH line, in my opinion.
The thing about the EELS is most of your vipers and other troopers all had EELS training from the standard viper all the way to the Vipers driving the ships of the Cobra Navy. Even the TeleViper and Snow Viper are EELS trained.
They made a brief appearance in gi joe yearbook no. 2 with firefly, they set explosive charges and blow the train trestle or whatever it's called. Lol eels are dangerous I had one back in 85. Definitely one of my favorite figures for cobra, excellent troop builder . I have 4. 😎😎😎 COBRA!!
This guy was always one of my favorites
As mine used to have him in the mid 80s .
Nice work man I enjoyed this whole month thanks for everything you do my friend
I need to get a couple more of these guys, I think.
The yellow/blue eel was the only underwater cobra agent I had as a kid. I didn't like the colors but I liked the style and had to have someone for wet-suit to fight
Just a really great action figure.
Yeah I never thought this was a mass unit like the troopers or vipers, always thought it was just one guy code-named "Eels".
Great review. I have 6 complete Eels in my collection. I even rearmed them with actual cobra guns too.
Thank you! Nice to have 6 complete ones. They could use some weapons for land assault, too!
That's what I did.
Welcome back, could not agree more about 1985 for troop building. My favorite year by far.
Thank you! I'm glad to be back! It's hard to beat 1985. It was the golden age for GI Joe.
Indeed. 1985 had lots of nice stuff. Cobra troops, and some nice individuals for the Joes, such as Footloose.
Great review! It's been an honor to be a part of Cobra Convergence II, thanks HCC788, glad to see you've escaped from the Toy Master's collection!!!
Diver figures are almost always cool.
I swear you're the best reviewer on UA-cam ✔💯💯💯💯💯
I was today years old when i found out the "jet-pack" was removable!!!!!!!
Great video
The scale and complexity of this series was amazing.
Another excellent review! The horn sound effect damn near made me piss myself!
The Baroness let herself be tempted! LOL
We keep the same taste and feeling for the Cobra EELS. I kept the figure since I was a child in perfect condition, except that I lost my respirator.
The chest has developed from so much swimming and that is very good, although it is true that is a little exaggerated.
Thank you so much for such a good review!
Go ahead with everything!
Love all those channels. Nice.
Always loved the Cobra Eels. Great review.
One of my favorite Cobra troops!!!!
Mine, too!!
Eels, just look cool 😎

The cobra eels and hydro vipers will always have a special spot in my heart. They were some of the first cobra figures I owned. Also, the over all design of the cobra eel is so well done. The eels to me, were always the elite of cobra. They're some of the few cobra troopers who have and can cause serious havoc. Great review bud! Really enjoyed this!
Thank you!
I'm weird, I always liked the Snow Serpent more. However, in story we wouldn't have them without EELS. Despite my fondness for the Serpents, I do agree the EELS are top tier figures in any list. Great review and great job by everyone on CC2!
Didn't you army build the Cobra Officer and or Cobra Troopers as well?
great review, and thanks to you, and everybody that came together to make cobra convergence happen. I enjoyed every episode!!! :)
Cobra Eeels were good troop builders.
I had this Figure and I loved him the one thing I hated though was the face mask part that plugged into the backpack ..mine snapped at the plug other than that I played with this guy alot
Great figure great review I can't wait to see what's next from all the reviewers my eel army is growing I've got about six Complete I would like to get a few more!
Thank you! I love seeing a team of EELS working together. They look great!
Hi your channels awesome. Is their any site I can purchase repro accessories for my eels? Please help.
I didn't have water around so I never got any EELs. Too bad though.
eels are in my top 10 cobra troops.
It's got to be high on the list. Really well designed.
HoodedCobraCommander788 #1Firefly, #2 Stormshadow, #3 Scrap-iron, #4 snow serpent, #5 eels. i had the cobra night landing craft and the eels went well with it.
EEL is my only childhood cobra figure.
:)
Can I join Cobra Convergence III next year. :D I enjoyed the ride you did this year. :D
Jealous much Baroness?!
Great to have a perceptive, in-depth analysis again. I was hoping you'd include the Mighty Boosh's Eels song though!
Thanks! I'm happy to be back doing reviews!
The figure is excellent. Too bad they used bright colors on the second version. It's a nice mold.
I don't know when I will get to reviewing EELS v2. It's going to be interesting. That robot shark... that's pretty crazy. And it shoots a missile!
Great review of a great figure!
welcome back hcc
Thank you! I'm happy to be back!!
HoodedCobraCommander788 I posted two cobra reviews and gave you a shout out in my Destro one check them out
Thank you! I will!
welcome bro anytime I do a video and you have the vintage review as well as formbx257 I will about you out
Eels are basically enemy Navy Seals.
Hes got.muscles nothing wrong with having muscles
Yo HCC788!
What do you get when you cross Baroness muff diver and an Eel?
Can you imaging anyone doing that to the Baroness? Me, neither. Not even Destro. Except maybe as foreplay.
Did I just see the Baroness sexually harass a Eel? :O
She does whatever she wants and everybody is afraid to say anything about it.
Plot twist: the "eel" in question was Destro in a wet suit! XD
all Joe and Cobra divers could need a good Knive ;)
I like wet-suit better than the cobra frog!
