25th Anniversary...Rowdy Roddy Piper?!?

C.I.A.D. · 08-02-2007, 01:55 PM

It's official. Rowdy Roddy Piper of WWF/WWE fame is set to be an exclusive at this year's convention.

"For 25 years, the G.I.Joe team has gone into battle with Sgt. Slaughter at their side to pummel Cobra forces in to full retreat. Now Cobra is fighting back with a wrestling legend who can combat the sergeant with equal strength and skill - "ROWDY" Roddy Piper!

Cobra has added this infamous fighter to it's ranks to even the score on the battlefield and take the battle to a whole new level! Wearing his classic wrestling gear, Rowdy Roddy Piper is ready to let loose his infamous rage and piledrive his G.I.Joe nemesis!"

Master Collector has begun to unveil the card art for the figure in the same way they did the box set cover art, in a puzzle style format.

What I find interesting is that this figure is being released....a bit late IMO. Piper, although an awesome character and one of my all time favorite wrestlers is...to put it nicely...a bit past his prime.

Plus, making him a Cobra character is a bit far fetched. Why not someone like the Iron Shiek, or Volkoff...

Of equal interest is the fact that Piper's filecard seems to state that he's part of Destro's clan....

Anyways, I'm sure that fans will be all over the figure..and it will be nice to have someone to fight the Sarge

I mentioned this a few days ago, I want this figure!

amaro · 08-02-2007, 03:13 PM

What style do you think it will be in?

The 2006 style or the new 25th Annv. style?
I'm guessing the 2006.

Thoughts?

Why would HTS even offer the figure? If anything, it'd be offered in the Joe Club store if there are any leftovers...which I'm hoping for.

HTS is short for Hasbro Toy Shop (http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com)

Hasbro has been known to offer "exclusive" figures through their site. However, as already mentioned, I could see Piper being offered through Master Collector's page before Hasbros.

Oh, and Amaro, I think this figure will be in 25th style fashion, to match the other current releases :cool:

I would of loved this figure....20 years ago. Someone to battle the Sarge.

I'll still try to obtain one via the club store...and am eager to see it done.
