Bazooka was a favorite of mine that I was glad to see Hasbro update. This version is a beast of a figure in size being slightly taller and definitely wider than most other figures.
Like a lot of the wave 9 figures, this figure has an all new sculpt that makes Bazooka look almost exactly like the original. The only difference here is the collar no longer looks like a blue neckerchief, but like the collar of the jersey it is. The helmet now has a chin strap that can attach around Bazooka's chin, or just hang off to the side. The backpack also has a lot of upgrades. The bazooka can now hook onto the bottom of it and the missiles are all removable from the backpack and can even go into the bazooka! The one drawback to this figure is that his knees only have one joint instead of two like most of the figures. I'm still a little confused as to why Hasbro does this to the bigger sized figures like Bazooka and Roadblock. Bazooka comes with a Helmet, Backpack, Bazooka, 4 missiles and a GI Joe stand with his name on it. This Bazooka is a perfect 25th representation of the original one. All the updates do nothing but add greatness to an already great figure. Figure Review: 9 out of 10 Pictures by Eopie Herder Last edited by Shogi; 08-31-2011 at 06:12 PM.. |

Looks great. I'm betting that he will have trouble staying on his stand much like Roadblock. I can't wait to get mine.

I'd be surprised if Hasbro didn't use this figure as a base for either Outback or Big Brawler.

That's the first reason I wanted him...to make a Fridge. Once I got him open, I liked him too much and must wait for a second.
Oh, and I have not had any problems with him falling off the stand.

I'm kinda at a loss for this figure. I'm glad everyone likes it, I'm not a fan though. It's way too big, stand him beside any of the SE body figures and he looks way out of proportion. On top of that, I dont understand making a new body for him when so many other figures are bastardized repaints. If the Fridge is a possibility I guess I can see it, or maybe with the new love of the line there will be less repaints, but I dont see how this figure wasn't a Roadblock repaint with new arms legs and a head.
Was he really supposed to be that big or was he ever draw or represented that way? |
