GI Joe Restoration Cobra Hydrofoil Build

Restoration video of the 1985 GI Joe "COBRA Hydrofoil (Moray)" vehicle. In this segment, we tear into the contents of the unassembled vehicle. We'll look at the instructions, and all the individual pieces. We'll go through the full construction of the vehicle, from beginning to end! Yo Joe!!

This video is great. Thanks!

This is a great video for assembling our Cobra Hydrofoil (Moray) and parts viewing for those who are missing parts that they didn't know that they're missing before. Thumbs up.

What a great vehicle that needs to be re-released in the same traditional colors! This toy is thirty years old and still looks great; and will look great with modern Cobra figures!

Great review SP... Just watched HCC788 channel and yours and decided to get the Moray .. Been eyeing on this long time.. Also picked up a bunch of vintage figures, the Cobra Rattler, Cobra Flight Pod , Ram cycle, FANG chopper, HISS tank, Awe striker, Conquest X30, Armadillo tank and the fantastic Cobra Terror Drome.. I'm bankrupt this month.. 😂... I hope u do a Rattler and a Terror Drome review if ever its possible.. Great work as always! Yo! Joe!

This was my fav Gijoe toy

[@yfz350twin]

I got one of these and they put the hydrofoils in backwards. Are these hard to pull apart?

[@chrismayer3919]

If most of the tabs are still present, a generous applique of Elmer's white glue will hold the hull in place (I did that with my GI JOE WHALE hovercraft) Try it!

[@chrismayer3919]

I've got the 'American' (GI JOE) version of the Moray, and I love it!

[@edgarmaldonado5384]

Looks good! Did you retrobrite the hull any and what cleaning agents did you use to restore the upper part of the boat? Thanks

[@willieleefrancis8091]

Put the modern Cobra figures on that Moray Hydrofoil, please.

[@josephmonahan587]

How do you remove the shell without breaking the tabs off? I wish you would've shown that in your video.

[@SanitariumProduction]

I'll try to show that in an upcoming video. Yeah, depending on how old these are, and how they were taken care of, they can be a bit brittle. One suggestion is to soak it in baby oil for a while, then use one of those plastic screwdrivers (like you use for cell phones and electronics). Even then, you need to rely on a bit of luck!

[@starscream003]

do you get your replacement parts from a specific site or just hope to get them from ebay?

[@SanitariumProduction]

+Worst_gamer_ever I get them from wherever I can find them. eBay is great when you don't live near any local dealers though!
