Belt Buckle Week – Day 4: Armadillo (1988)
One of the most undercooked GI Joe uniform designs gave rise to an impressive belt buckle. It’s the sort of thing you’d expect to see on a cowboy type, with a longhorn skull emblazoned across it. The fancy buckle actually works within the confines of the design of the figure’s lower extremities. Up top, he’s fairly plain, including his decidedly unattractive noggin. From the belt down however, he’s quite a bit more dressed up. Maybe we just caught him on wash day, and all he had clean was a simple shirt and some arm wraps. Maybe that also explains the belt. He probably borrowed it from fellow driver Wild Bill.
Did I mention this is a weird figure? Check out the full write up here.
I just realized something–Armadillo’s chest would have been a much better choice for the 1993 Guile figures than Road Pig’s.
I always liked Armadillo. He might look plain but the belt buckle is awesome and he was a badass in the Marvel comics.

I agree he is too underrated
For convoluted reasons, western paraphenalia always brings a smile to my face
Great belt!
On such a figure, the ornate, chromed belt buckle was an odd feature. Like it’s Armadillo’s claim to fame. Maybe he’s a champion bronco rider? Who’d bother to ask him?
I look at my comment from a year ago, and it was too harsh. Could’ve been saved with a better paint job and new head sculpt,
Armadillo is the original lime cat. And he does not look amused either.
