G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra toys have finally been released at Retail!
…and I do not mean the special expensive retail shops ;)
I have made it a habit to take pictures of Joe store displays at retail as, sooner or later, some evil munny-grabbing Terry the Toy Terror Taliban will use his mummy’s ill-gotten blood munny to hoard these…
When I first started collecting the 25th Anniversary GI Joe line, I did not pay much attention to the Ninjas. I used to have the complete Ninja Force, back then, and I believed I had my fill of it
However, I ended up with the Snake Eyes vs Red Ninja set due to unscrupulous joy bidders so I opened it up, anyway. It was really something else!
My fascination with the Ninjas from the 25th Anniversary GI Joe line just grew. I even bought the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow in training Comic Packs and regretted selling my second Snake Eyes vs Red Ninja pack.
I never thought they would be so photogenic and I will be taking more snaps. The Red Ninjas from the set are even better than the single carded Red Ninjas as they have the Arashikage tattoo and lacked the Cobra sigil.
This really makes it a pure Ninja experience.
I am even contemplating getting a third Snake Eyes versus Red Ninja pack and another Snake Eyes in training Comic Pack so I can properly customize a better Hard Master.
That is it. I am now hooked.
I should be getting the Hall of Fame Storm Shadow while I am at it…
It was a pleasant surprise that the Comic Pack with Snake Eyes in Training garb and The Hard Master in…Lifeline uniform came out. It came with a lot of Ninja accessories enough to reenact that fateful night that set events in motion. Eventually, Storm Shadow joined Cobra to find the killer and Snake Eyes became a Ninja.
