Okay, just browsing through the "unproduced figures" archive in YoJoe.com and I cam across a figure named "Knockout," who was supposed to be a part of the cancelled 1995 "Ninja Commandos" line. Anybody know if he was supposed to be a Joe or a Cobra?
Here's the page in question: YOJOE.COM | Ninja Commandos Knockout is the third guy from the left in the line-up, from what I can gather. His colour scheme makes him out to be a Cobra, but I was hoping somebody with more knowledge about this cancelled character can chime in and confirm or dispel this. |

Another interesting note about Flagg. Col. Flagg was a recurring character on MASH, which Larry also made a guest appearance on. He even looks a bit like the comic Flagg. Just food for thought. And while Troynos makes some good points, I still say Snake Eyes FTW!

Lifeline, that's really interesting. That might have a lot to do with it. Flagg could be named after the Colonel on MASH.
Well, after reading through the Action Force Battle Files, I've decided to add Spirit to the ODA Team. I've made a personal decision to consider the information from the AF as part of the Joeverse cannon, as long as it doesn't contradict the U.S. filecards. So, for example, Beach-Head's AF Battle File says he's New Zealand SAS - well, that simply won't work. However, Spirit's Battle File, as well as Duke's, Hawk's, etc. do not contradict anything - in fact, it gives a more detailed account. So, I'm considering Spirit to be Special Forces qualified. I'm also adding Hawk to the roster as a commander - because according to the Action Force Battle File, he's a former Delta Operator. It's interesting to me that Delta Force shows up so often in the Action Force Battle Files, and it's never been mentioned in the U.S. file cards.

I think it's not mentioned in the American Joe filecards cause Joe was "Taskforce Delta" themselves, so I think people assumed/thought that Joe was Delta Force.
I always figured that Flagg was just named for Flag, with the extra "g" to make it more name-like, lol The Ninja Commandoes... FLINT!?!? FLINT!?!? ROAD PIG!?!? WHAT THE HELL!!!! Okay... Yeah, looks like a Cobra.

You know, it's interesting that in the Sigma 6 version of Flint, they make him out to be a bit of a ninja - partnered and training with Snake-Eyes. It think they were trying to give Flint a different direction. Check the Sigma 6 file card out and you'll see.

I'm just glad they didn't come out otherwise I would have to buy them, and those where the worse figures. I would love to have seen the filecards for them. None are Ninjas except Storm Shadow. Unless Knockout was suppose to be one too. |
