G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #207 - Red Shadows Trooper (Red Shadows)

[Ru1977]

I dunno, I kinda like the pencil pusher who goes into battle anyway. It's like in Black Hawk Down when all the cooks and mechanics geared up to go into the city and attempt to rescue the rangers that were trapped, except this guy is strategic command, which to me sounds REALLY important. He's a damned Colonel, so I picture him and Hawk leading from JSOC.

 

[d2bruce]

Uh, yeah. Colonel Courage is a fine example of the misfits and rebelliious types that fill out the Joes ranks.

 

[docsilence]

I want him standing next to the most shenanigans-ish out of uniform Joes and seeeeeething. Like he's looking atg Muskrat like he shat in his Cheerios.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Sterling K. Brown as Col. Courage

I already love the idea of a tie-wearing, stick-up-the-ass curmudgeon getting absolutely railed by the Joes’ chaos, but this just adds that chef’s kiss element to all that.
Totally want this character.

 

[Spongyblue]

Dumb un-ergo friendly blaster aside, as somebody who spent almost half of his military career behind a desk, bring that cranky mofo on. Don't mess up paperwork in the Pit. "WHICH DIPSHIT DIDN'T PUT A ROUTING SLIP ON THIS EXPENSE REPORT?! WHO'S ASS IS GONNA BE BREAKFAST??!!! WHY THE FLYING FUCK ARE WE ORDERING SO MANY DAMN NINJA STARS??!!"

Befor a big battle I'm sure they show all of Cobra Commander grammatical errors in his most recent ransom demands to the UN, it really riles him up.

Day 205a - Red Jackal - (Red Shadows) (4/5/26)

New week; new theme. Kicking off Red Shadows Week with Red Jackal! BBWS has their version, how about Hasbro's?

 

[DetectiveHoag]

Can’t say as I much care for the convoluted Red Shadow history behind Dest.., er, Red Jackal. I personally would pass on this version, but I-could see Hasbro making this as a Destro variation.

Happy Easter all.

 

[canprime]

I would pick up Red Jackal in Classified for sure, but I am not dying for that subline at this moment over other unreleased stuff.

 

[AceofKnaves]

I have no nostalgia nor attachment to Red Shadows, but cool toys are cool toys. I’d buy.

 

[Chooch555]

Same. No nostalgia, but I'd ger them.

Day 205b - Baron Ironblood - (Red Shadows) (4/5/26)

Red Shadows week continues with another big bad that Big Bad has a version of, kinda, so again... how about Hasbro's?

 

[Chooch555]

Sure.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Same for other Red Shadows, “no strong attachment, but sure”, although this guy is not just a repaint guy so he’s more attractive.

 

[Ru1977]

Yeah, Red Jackal would be cool if they leaned away from Destro more, and Ironblood I imagine they could make even cooler than what BBWS is going. I'd be very open to both.

 

[AceofKnaves]

One thing I will say: I have heard that there is some attempt at connective fiction making Cobra Commander the former Baron Ironblood in a new identity.

To that I say: NOPE.

I do not need a Temu “Dracula 2000” storyline here. Let Cobra Commander be Cobra Commander.
