GI JOE 30th Anniversary

[the angry orc]

target had it on sale the other day and i still couldn't pull the trigger on it. kind of wish i had though. wish they would re-issue the rattler again. the front landing gear broke on my 25th version the other day.

Was sooo tempted to grab the Sky Striker at Zellers the other day but, i got no room for that sort of thing and well its $45.

You might regret that decision. I grabbed a couple because I missed out back in the day and didn't feel like paying ebaY prices when my son gets old enough to play with them and wants one.

The F-14 is my all time fav jet design, yea i might go back and grab one. XD

Keep in mind though, that they've altered the cockpit design to a single seater.

Aww poopie..didn't the original also come with a parachute?.

yes, two. one for each seat.

Hmm, didn't the original cartoon sporadically change the seating configuration back and forth between one and two? Assuming I'm remembering that correctly it could be cool that this new version would match up with the single seat design.

ooh bummer, that is going for a good amount now, I remember when they were in abundance.

I wasn't poking at accuracy, just pointing out that they've modified it from the original release.

yeah, i passed on several of the rattlers and conquests on clearance at target.

Looks like there are Rattlers in the upcoming movie, so I'm sure it will reappear in some form (probably not in the classic Cobra Blue, though).

I had two stolen from my storage unit last year.

found lifeline, techno viper, scifi, and air tight at wally world last night.

With a simple headswap, you can make awesome Zombie Troopers too!

 

[the angry orc]

zero, awesome pic!

made rthe rounds this morning but nothing new. just a ton of renegades fireflys, dukes and snake eyes.

 

[Khev]

So what supposedly turned some Vipers into zombies? Is it based off of some new comic or something?

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Damn...I cant find those cobra troopers anywhere. My walmart never has anything...just a bunch of renegade snake eyes and CC.

I believe they were from the Renegades cartoon, Cobra experimented with their own troopers...I think, been awhile...I just remember those long arm thingys in the cartoon.

 

[zerogouki]

Based on the file card, it is a "mysterious" substance called "Compound Z" which comes with the Hazard-Viper figure....

Using "Viper" by itself threw us for a loop (we thought you meant regular Viper zombified). But you're right:
