I'm surprised Hasbro didn't release the lime green Firefly for the 25th line. I would've bought it.
He wouldn't have been Firefly at all, but still... |

I prefer Firefly being a mildly used character. It's nice to see him show up once in a while, do his thing, than creep back into the shadows. The less I know about him, the more I like him.

Firefly is the unknown un-seen explosives guy who is obsessed with keeping his identity secret.....except every shot of him in the up coming trailer shows him hanging around without a mask. Lame.
I just hope he masks up at some point in the movie or that will totally suck. IMO |

I could easily argue that Scrap-Iron fits into a similar category. Here was an amazingly cool character - Destro's weapons engineer! - along with the mysterious helmet and cool backpack missile launcher. His aesthetic is no where in the league of Firefly (who, at the time, was better than even Ripcord - the coolest Joe figure of that time), but I remember all my friends bought him. Yet he was ridiculously underused in both the cartoon and comic. In the comic, he famously killed the Soft Master and Candy, as well as crippling Billy. I think he had 4 appearances after that, but of very little note. In DDP, he at least was part of the Phoenix guard. In the cartoon, he is treated more like his file card - inventing the BAT and being part of the creation of Serpentor. Still, you would think he would be the head of engineering for Cobra, but instead he is usually upstaged by that former dentist, Dr. Mindbender.

He is the Boba Fett of the GI Joe universe.

Totally agree. ^^^
I think Firefly is underused because he's essentially a terrorist. Not exactly a popular person nowadays. Last edited by Cobra Terrorist; 12-19-2011 at 12:59 PM.. |

To be fair, Boba Fett has gotten his due: the Christmas special, several whole comic books, all but one movie, the Clone Wars, books, etc. Not so much with Firefly.
