I have made the mistake on passing on this Steel Brigade guy here many times. I don't recall the guy from the old show, in which all my main collecting goals come from. Then I read the back of the card...
OH, so the guy is a trooper like guy? Like the Vipers are to Cobra. If I knew that earlier, I would have bought more to troop build. On the other hand, maybe G.I. Joe shouldn't have troops and be left at individual specialized abilities (There is a long debate there) Regardless it would be fun to a have more of these (oh wait, I think I have one more in stock overflow).
This figure line has pretty much run its course out of stores by now. I still see a few at Toys R Us, and I got this from a small grocer in town, who is behind. It was funny because even the old lady at the register knew these were rare. She asked me if I was going to sell it on Amazon for $100 bucks.
SO many weapons to choose!
I was surprised, but shouldn't be, that there was a masked face under the helmet. I thought the helmet was it. Never underestimate this line. There are little grenades to even fit into the launcher, however they might fit in too far, and get stuck? I did not want to try.
So yeah, now I have a common adversary for the Viper to fight.
Top bad for Steel Brigade guy that he has a handle on his back for the Viper to grab.
If I can just find one more...

I keep telling myself i need to get at lest one of these.
yes yes keep telling :)
I remember the vintage version of Steel Brigade back in the 80's being a mail-away figure.I believe they took your personal info and added it to his file card making it your own personalized figure.Something to that effect.
thats right! I totally remember that now, I had dreams of the figure looking exactly like me, but never sent out the flag points.
lol Dan i do but pass them up when i run across them for some reason. : D
probably the wiser jboy, as these are getting stupid spendy.
All of the POC figured are must owns...except for that Arctic Destro!
