God, the G.I Joe Sigma toys were sick. I don’t care what anyone else says, they’re all wrong and I’m right, these toys killed it. ESPECIALLY Spirit Iron-Knife.
And yeah, I know – this design and name is really toeing that “is this racist?” line. But while acknowledgeing that, I also want to acknowledge that he is REALLY FUCKING COOL.
You see that giant compound bow? That Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ass knife on his leg? He’s even got the bandana thing and quasi-sneaking suit/fatigue thing going on just like Snake! That’s right, this is Metal Gear Joe crossover fic territory. Just fucking cool!
He also comes with a couple of tomahawks and a big eagle that will land on his hand… Ay yi yi… you’re not making my life as a Spirit Iron-Knife enjoyer very easy, Spirit Iron-Knife.
So back on how cool these dolls were. They each came with this gigantic footlocker/trunk that stored all of their equipment in cut foam, real tactical professionals. And the locker had this blinking red LED in it as part of the display in the store. They looked like little bombs about to go off in the toy aisle, detonating the encroaching flanks of Bratz and Transformers.
Why did nobody else like these toys!?!?
