I can't imagine him jumping from the height a copter would be flying at, but I'm no expert on the matter. Always thought he had more credibility in Night Force form than the red/grey. One of the lesser Joes from 87, imo.
GDL thinks the final bump will get it to all tiers, we shall see. Yo Joe!

 Doc is coming to the main line. Wonder if they'll make him a deluxe fig? |

Doc with alternate perforated cranium head for desert massacre.  We'll probably see people getting Classified Doc before Super 7's ultimates Doc. |

Chuckles seems like the guy from the movie, "Sound of Freedom".

Both retro Snake Eyes and retro Crimson Guard are up to preorder on Pulse right now if either of you care.

www.walmart.com/shop/walmart-collector-conMole Rat Shooter Crimson Alley Viper are there to be teased Always felt like Alley Viper repaints lose the appeal of the original look. Just seems more generic in darker colors. Mole Rat, zombie troop, but not as interesting as the zombie troops during the modern times (I forget its name). Shooter is fine.

Edit: You beat me by a minute, Swindie. Mole Rat, at last the fan demanded character of WHO? Swamp-Rat and Terra-Viper's love child? Crimson Alley Viper *sigh*...at least he's not too Crimsony. And retcon favorite Jodie "Shooter" Craig from POC...no, not pursuit of Cobra, person of color. Yeah.  All Walmart exclusives.... Why reveal these now and not last month? I think they fear that a week or two with no reveals, and everyone will just QUIT collecting.  |

She's listed as Night Force, so they'll squeeze two releases out of her. I know the name, but no nothing about her. LOL
Fig looks fine. Wish the Mole Rat was more visually interesting. Toxo Vipers these guys aren't.

Shooter was an artist in joke in GI JOE number one, a computer display shows GI JOE profiles and one is "Shooter" but the face is blocked by a hand, it's a joke on JIM SHOOTER, then Marvel's editor-in-chief, IIRC. Of what you can see, the person is clearly supposed to be MALE.  Fans, not content letting a joke be a joke, bugged Hama about it for years...even though it was never his idea, but illustrator Herb Trimpe's. So Devil's Due, I think, he made this Shooter backstory that she was the unseen 14th original Joe that even the other Joes didn't know about or some crap (I never read the story). But she was killed on the issue #1 mission, but then maybe later wasn't. I don't care enough to research it. Like most retcons, it reeks of incredulousness. |

It was Larry Hama's own retcon, so that makes it 'ok'. |

Mole Rat's are basically poor troops got stuck on mining duty because Cobra Commander wants Energon.
Its not even punishment duty like Toxo-Viper, its just whomever is unlucky enough to get stuck with Cobra Commander's very iffy and dangerous scheme.

Move those crazy legs, ebay resellers, so the hardcore 'value' hunters can get an extra fig (while paying nearly 30 bucks for retail releases and not bating an eye, lol).
