Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary
I think these figures look great and yes, they will be bought.
With that being said, just a few minor things I noticed and I was just checking to see if anyone else noticed this, too.
1- On the card to Zartan that they showed it looks like it says in the kind of splash above the figure
COBRA ENEMY
which, if I remember, is incorrect.
On the original 1984 package for Zartan with Swamp Skier the splash says
ZARTAN ENEMY.
Why is this such a big deal? Well, not everyone who works with/for COBRA is a member of COBRA. Characters like Destro, Major Bludd, Zartan and his Drednoks work for COBRA but are not members of "THE ENEMY." Some, like Destro, just supply tanks and other weapons to COBRA, others like Zartan and Major Bludd are mercenaries who work for COBRA or against COBRA depending on the pay.
Characters like The Baroness, Firefly, Scrap-Iron, Storm Shadow, Scar-Face, Copperhead, Wild Weasel, etc. are members of COBRA, hence, on their card the splash says
COBRA ENEMY.
2- The background of Joe Storm Shadow has the earlier explosion background used from 1982 to 1985. The original 1988 version of the Storm Shadow turned good figure has the digital background first started in 1986.
Once again, no big deal, I will buy these figures and be happy. Just pointing out something that you lovers of RAH probably already know.
