i think this should be brought up at the joecon round table and look at the expression on the clubs face since it will be hard to hear them say "no" over the groans/cheers from the crowd lol

Sorry for bringing this one back from the dead, but here's the comic storyline that went with the UK release: http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/comi...038/index.html
fwiw I did send away for him, but as previously mentioned the chrome wasn't really tactical enough so he didn't get played with much until I took the jump and broke the chrome armour off to give what I felt was a quite reasonable military look! |

I really liked the o-ring figure and would love to see a ME version as long as it was done well, but he would be costly to do. I suppose for the shield they could simply reuse the original if they still have the mold.
If the club did make him, I'm sure a Rapid Fire would soon follow |

I didn't own the Super trooper as a kid but did buy Rapid fire expecting the VHS to be an episode about him only it was that shitty Dic episode and I may or may not have taken my frustions out on him with a firecracker jammed into his waste banned a fate that was almost exclusively for Corps figures that cheap relatives would give me as gifts.

By ‘88 or ‘89 my Joe’s weren’t really fighting Cobra any more, they were mostly operating in trouble spots around the world. Hit & Run, for example, was stationed in South America, observing and sabotaging cartel operations. There wasn’t a place in my world for dudes wearing chrome.

I guess they sort of did. I got a bunch of trucks and plane that were that Gay Toys Inc. style of construction - just a flexible plastic shell with a separate interior and wheels - and they looked a lot like the duece-and-a-halfs I saw in eighties war movies, and then with the big plane (a green-army-men-sized C-130) so many of my adventures were about smuggling. Sometimes the smugglers were bad guys, sometimes they were good guys, sometimes they were good guys tricked by bad guys, etc.

He's an officer with a million abilities. Put him in charge of Sky Patrol. He can fly the chrome planes, drive the chrome HAVOC and lead the team. He's perfect for them and their weird outfit.

never thought of that. i can see him leading SP but his name is SUPER trooper. that just kills it for me, the whole super part makes him sound like he is worlds better then the rest of the guys. that name ranks up there with Ice Cream Soldier.
