Military Dictator of Wolkekuckuckland. Collecting (since 1989) and photographing (since 2020) ARAH G.I. Joes.
you could argue that Night Force Sneak Peek fits the pattern too. It's funny that more Night Force figures don't.
Zartan (1993). The phalilc blade of grass wasn't deliberate, I just didn't notice it until after taking the pic and dismantling the scene. Still it's my favorite pic of this Zartan.
and of course Backblast's Red Laser's Army version (2nd from left)
from behind, Clultch (Convention 2010)--best backside in the line
and Rampage (1989)--also Heavy Metal (1985) but it's Rampage's the pic I have handy:
I guess there are vintage precedents, but with a more subdued green: Flint (1985)
Absolutely love this guy. It's surprising how many strong post-vintage figures share the formula of black torso, green legs. (Arctic SE, RLA the General, RLA Hollowpoint, Shadowtracker)
GI Joe picture of the day: Lifeline (1986), Outback (1987), and Lt. Falcon (1987).
GI Joe picture of the day: Ambush figures whichever way the Vipers with the harpoon guns are going, must be where the dinosaurs are. He just has to avoid being spotted while he trails them... Featuring Ambush (1993) and Vipers (1994).
GI Joe picture of the day: The Red Laser's Army Python Officer (2017) is a pretty good fit with the originals (1989).
For this week's #TechnoViperTuesday: Professional Rivalries.
GI Joe picture of the day: Major Storm (Convention 2003) and the Locust (from the General, 1990). Painting this guy's eyes the same color as his hair gave him a weird ghostly look.
GI Joe picture of the day: Wild Boars with the Razorback (1989).
GI Joe picture of the day: Fire and maneuver. Featuring Frag-Viper (Flaming MOTH 2006) and Alley Vipers (Black Major 2019 or so). I like that using originals+factory customs+Flaming MOTH, you can make woodland- and desert-themed fire teams of Alley-, Frag-, Night-, Range-, and Frag-Vipers.
GI Joe picture of the day: "You'll regret this. By morning I'll have a presidential pardon and you'll be unemployed." Featuring Headman (1992) and Corps! cops.
GI Joe picture of the day for #TechnoViperTuesday: Day 2 of HISS 2 conversion training: technical orientation. Featuring HISS Drivers (1983), Techno-Vipers (1987), Motor-Viper (1986), and HISS 2's (1989).
GI Joe picture of the day: Overlord and Sonic Vipers (1990).
GI Joe picture of the day: Nothing says "Happy Fourth of July!" like trading in your camo fatigues for outfits as gaudy as any Cobra Viper.
GI Joe picture of the day: Badger (Whiskey Jack Toys 2026) vs. Red Ninjas (1994).
"Robot pilots, eh? And Mindy says we HAVE to use them? How about a robot that does my paperwork, why doesn't he try inventing that? Flying the airplane is the FUN part." GI Joe picture of the day, featuring Air-Vipers (Convention 2003), Aero-Vipers (1989), and Gyro-Vipers (1987).
GI Joe picture of the day for #TechnoViperTuesday: While they're trained as engineers, Techno-Vipers are also fully capable of fighting as infantry when necessary.
