The Power of Packaging: Operation Shadow Ops
I like almost everything about the short-lived and mostly forgotten Adventures of GI Joe 2010 line. The packaging did a fine job of trying to create a world for these toys. The only problem–no bad guys to fight. This particular set seems inspired by the modern take on the Mission: Impossible franchise.
Very 1980s-looking. Also, the Joe head dotting the “i” is apparently a Universal Soldier.
I did not know these toys even existed. Hard to believe it was only 2010.
The art looks more vintage than modern. Like a ’70s spy novel cover. Which isn’t bad, but not very cutting-edge, futuristic marketing.
