Continuing on the G.I. Joe: Retaliation review marathon, today I finish up my Wave 2 reviews with none other than the Cobra Saboteur, Firefly! The only Firefly figure being released complete with Ray Stevenson’s noggin, he also comes complete with a florescent green jacket and semi-transparent arms! Considering how much I love my 90’s Joes, this was a bonus, not a detraction. 😉
While the “Ultimate” Flint is still a ways off, we have a Flint available in Wave 2 of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation line. Yes, he’s just a repaint of the version 1 Duke with a new head, but there are some merits to this figure as well. Enough merits to buy this one instead of the upcoming “Ultimate” version?
As March, 2013 nears we can expect G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures to start hitting harder and heavier. Wave 2 has just started blasting across the country, and I’ve begun the review process. First up in the second wave is Storm Shadow.
Not the most auspicious beginning to the Wave 2 reviews, but for better or worse, you can check him out at the G.I. Joe: Retaliation review page, or linked below.
Just a few seconds of new footage where Roadblock informs a hapless recruit that G.I. Joe’s should be “gentlemen”, with a little encouragement from Lady Jaye. Various other action scenes take place showing just how “gentle” G.I. Joe can be.
Though there’s not a whole lot of new footage here there are a few new cuts and a couple of new lines of dialogue. Folks who watch the Walking Dead likely caught this last night on AMC, and now it’s up on YouTube courtesy of Paramount’s official G.I. Joe Movie YouTube channel.
