day 425 #joeaday Barbecue v3 1992 I don’t like Barbecue. He knows what he did. BUT the Eco-Force version at least shoots water and you can see his stupid ugly face, so it’s marginally better than other versions. 4/10

day 426 #joeaday Crimson Guard v1 1985 The few. The odious. The Crimson Guard. Coo-brah! ✊ 8/10

day 427 #joeaday Crimson Guard v1 1985 They got their own special tanks, so I guess CGs can go out on the battlefield, but probably like a “terrorize hearts and minds” after-action ceremonial parade than as a primary invasion force. 8/10

day 428 #joeaday Crimson Guard v1 1985 That friendly new neighbor of yours might just have a red uniform hanging in his closet... 8/10

day 429 #joeaday Crimson Guard v1 1985 Better red than dead. 8/10

Thanks to Dok Sewage, Man of Plastic I now have silver on the chests of most of my HISS Drivers. The 2 on the left I didn’t fix because one has a pitted up chest, and the other was the only one I had with any remnant of that silver paint. But… (1/2) #GIJoe #Cobra

day 430 #joeaday Crimson Guard v1 1985 I can only imagine that blue Cobra troopers hate them so so much even though they secretly wish they could be them. 8/10

day 431 #joeaday Crimson Guard Immortal v1 1991 A CG actually fit for the battlefield. 9/10

day 432 #joeaday Crimson Guard Commander v1 1993 It’s unfortunate they didn’t stick to the red/black/silver color scheme for CGs cause that would’ve elevated this very solid sculpt. Even so, he’s a’ight. 5/10

day 433 #joeday Reptile v1 1994 The worst part about these figures is they don’t have backscrews so I couldn’t replace his head with a reptile head or whatever. Still fun tho. 6/10.

day 434 #joeaday Flash v1.5 1983 Flash is the perfect blend of military and sci-fi. 10/10

day 435 #joeaday Tele-Viper v1 1985 Absolute icons; the first Cobra troopers to be labelled “viper” along with a prefix that clearly defined their role in the organization’s hierarchy. 9/10

day 436 #joeaday Tele-Viper v1 1985 These guys are essential for communication at various Terror Dromes across the world, so of course M.A.R.S. designed the seats to be too skinny to fit them correctly. Typical military contractor fuck up 🙄 9/10

day 437 #joeaday Tele-Viper v1 1985 Q: What does the Tele-Vipers VS-11 scanner do? Does it listen to transmissions, transmit, is it a camera, or is it a projector? A: It does whatever you imagine it does. Have fun. 9/10

day 438 #joeaday Tele-Viper v1 1985 I don’t have any problem with fun, bright colors, I really don’t. But there is something to be said in favor of Cobra blues being the prominent color on specialty troopers. It looks more like a cohesive force. 9/10

day 439 #joeaday Bushido v1 1993 He’s a rad sculpt with great colors, marred only by Ninja Force action limiting poseability. Also, he’s supposedly from a family of proud samurai warriors, but his name is Larry Goldfine and he’s from Queens. That is objectively hilarious. 7/10

day 440 #joeaday Serpentor v1 1986 I like him better dead. 4/10

day 441 #joeaday Shang Tsung v1 1994 I like this figure probably more than I should, but he’s a creepy old man who murders people and I think G.I. Joe really needed that. 8/10

day 442 #joeaday Banzai v1 1993 This guy is so nineties, he doesn’t do fruit-by-the-foot, he does fruit-by-the-mile. 6/10

day 443 #joeaday Grand Slam v1.5 1983 Flash, but after the divorce and a few years in rehab. 7/10
