Stone was one of the absolute best figs of the line. Beret, eye patch and a cybernetic arm? Fucking awesome.

They were labeled Combat Squad. It looks like there was a Land, Sea, Air box-set, along with about 6 individual releases.

Yeah he was. I used to think they were going to somehow make him evil and turn him into Major Bludd. Like he goes undercover as MB, stays too long and ends up falling into the personality. Or Cobra uses a Brainwave scanner type of thing to make the personality permanent. He was basically Joe Zartan so it seemed possible. After all, in S6 Firefly started out as a Joe.

Oh right, yes that is the 2007 stuff that I generally prefer. They did away with the black ROC suits and got into the army greens, camo, etc.

They also did some "Adventure Team" figures in 2007, like this Recondo, which is one of my favorites. Basically, 2007 Sigma was what the line should have been from the start (and it should have been 6"), but hey, it was what it was.

Heaven forbid they do that in a line called GI Joe. ;-)

Additional planned figures were to include Dusty, Joe Colton and Wet-Suit (featuring a giant scorpion, a gorilla and a shark respectively), but sadly these never made it to shelves.

Making the figures 2" smaller would have been rather pointless.

Those look pretty cool.

That Joe Colton would have been amazing.

I think these were shown at 2007 Toy Fair or SDCC, something like that. Zanzibar too, which is wild.
