Today the Collectors Club has posted their last 2016 G.I. Joe Convention reveal with none other than Static Line from Sky Patrol!
A fantastic looking figure with a nice new head and great parts formula. It would have been nice for the helmet to be removable, but even as it stands, the figure is really impressive. Check out GIJoeCon.com or take a peek at the mirrored image below.
The helmet is really disappointing. I made a custom from Renegades Ripcord whose helmet was at least removable
The helmet/head is obviously intended to be repurposed for Backstop at some point in the future. You’ll note that the sculpt’s facial features appear to be essentially Caucasoid beneath the dark skin-tone.
Backstops helmet was also removable. Although Staticline did have the high box fade back in the day. That might make it harder to use for Backstop.
Exactly.
I like it overall, although I am not sure what the black belly is supposed to be.
