Cobra Night Landing Craft that was released by Hasbro as part of their GI Joe Real American Hero toy line up in 1985. Purpose of the craft was for night time stealth insertions.
I tried my best to clean the toy up for this review but I just found it too difficult. Compounding the difficulty was the fact that some of the plastic parts became brittle already due to age so I was afraid to apply force in cleaning it least I break it. Specifically at the outboard motor stem that connects it to the craft which I noticed only had alread broken off at the stem due to the brittle plastic.
According to the literature that came with the toy, the landing craft is of an auto-inflate nylon/polyskin material that makes it bullet proof. The engine shroud is also bullet proof and covers a 42 HP fuel injected outboard motor. Aside from the motor it also has 2 carbon-fiber oars on the side. The craft is also armed with a .45 caliber machine gun mounted at the front of the craft.

This toy can actually float if you can plug the small hole near the stem connecting the outboard motor to the craft. Which is what I did with a little slab of clay *snicker*
