I remember buying the Cobra Stinger with my birthday money in 1984. It was my first exposure to the VAMP mold. I have a pretty vivid memory of taking it out of the box and assembling it sitting on the living room floor. The Stinger Driver ended up in my collection that day. Sadly, like the Cobra Officer before him, he was relegated to secondary duty. He quickly became a floppy mess. I don't know if he had a loose o-ring or he suffered from mold degradation, but I as much I loved the Stinger, I remember that the Driver got put in the HQ's stockade and stayed there.

That said, with age and perspective, I have come to appreciate this figure. For my custom, I used a similar recipe as the SDCC Officer and changed the colors.
