Beachhead (2012 Retaliation)
How the heck did Beachhead get stuck in a figure pack along with ninjas? Who knows, but with GI Joe, you learn not to ask those sorts of questions, and just go with the flow.
I’m glad that this figure was included in this pack, as it gives us not only Beachhead in a color scheme other than his familiar green sweater and camo pants combo, but it also uses the amazing Pursuit of Cobra commando Snake Eyes body. Granted, the color makes for a rather plain looking figure, but I think it could make for a nice desert ops version. The Retaliation multi-packs are interesting in the inclusion of more highly articulated and accessorized figures than the single packs. I’m glad Beachhead didn’t up as a five point articulated driver or attached to a motorcycle.
Ironically this parts combo was in the Concept Vault case at this year’s Joecon.
Beachhead sure has gotten a run for his money in the RAH franchise.

I’m so tired of ski-masks, knee pads and ninjas. Enough already!
That, my friend, is what old-sculpt figures are for. Found Five of them the other day at a local flea market.
Best Beachhead ever made.
I like this kind of figure. I think they did a good job with it.
