This Trooper retains the classic look with the Cobra blue and black. I've never been into army building myself, but I didn't hesitate picking up this figure...when I could find it hanging on retail store pegs.
The faceless grunts seem to have a little more personality with the ability to remove their helmets. If I were into doing dioramas this would be cool as you could have your Troopers chilling in the R&R hall inside the Technodrome.
I don't think of the blue shirts being that heavily armed, but the 30th anniversary figure comes loaded. So much that I even misplaced a few of his weapons! In addition to his rifle, RPG launcher and two suppressors, he also came w/ two pistols, a knife and a smaller brown & black rifle.
Hasbro really churned out some great figures during the Pursuit of Cobra / 30th Anniversary time frame. It's a shame that there hasn't been any really good Joe figures available at retail for the last few years. I wonder if we'll have to wait until the 35th Anniversary before we get anything non-movie related?

The pistols were the best accessories that these guys came with. Something about posing them with a pistol in each hand made me smile.
ReplyDeleteWell he was double wielding his pistols before the display rack fell off the wall and accessories went everywhere! (some if which I've still yet to find!)
