A new Field Report is up. This time, it’s the Retaliation Ninja Combat Cruiser. Folks are finding this thing at Target, and Joe A Day friend @NFCJD picked one up. How does it measure up? Check it out!
By KansasBrawler I’ll freely admit, I was a bit disappointed by the Retaliation Wave 1 Cobra Trooper. The design was cool, but I preferred the more realistic look the Cobra Troopers had in the trailer. Thankfully, Hasbro eventually delivered a movie-styled Cobra Trooper in the form of the Cobra Combat…
Another Friday, another great Field Report by Kansasbrawler. It seems to be a Retaliation Snake Eyes theme for the last couple days here at Joe A Day. Check out the Tactical Ninja version of our favorite Joe ninja commando from the recent three-pack here.
By KansasBrawler When he was first revealed, Ultimate Duke was a bit of a bubble figure for me. I’ve always hated Channing Tatum in the G.I. Joe movies. He just looked far too doofus-y for my tastes and looked barely competent enough to make pudding let alone lead America’s highlytrained…
A Renegades VAMP! The colors on this one do mesh in kind of nicely with the Slaughter’s guys. Rainforest teal, eh? Sounds cool. Night Fox looks like a good addition to the team and they all turned out awesome in those pics.
Hasbro chose another unusual color for a cool vehicle, but I can easily overlook that. I sortof wish it came with that 20mm rotary cannon in addition to the missile launcher, though (Hasbro should make a modern era Vehicle Accessory Pack!). Night Fox was released with the low-distribution 2010 AWE Striker, and while a mish-mash of Beach Head and Snake Eyes (odd for a driver), I agree that he’s a character with potential.
Night Fox was also the driver for the PoC AWE Striker? I didn’t realize it was the same character. Despite being sick of AWEs, that’s why I skipped that release, now I think I need one of those…
Everytime I think I know a lot about GIJoe, I realize there’s much more to learn yet.

Thanks Clutch for the feedback. Seriously, man, we gotta have you on General Geekery sometime.

Can we see the filecard of Night Fox version 2?
Thank You.
there isn’t one, none of the Retaliation figures (drivers or carded) included filecards so v2 here doesn’t have a bio.
but thanks to Scot for pointing me in the right direction here’s v1’s FC http://www.yojoe.com/filecard/10/nightfox.jpg
Do I need this? I can’t decide.
