G.I. Joe Enters the Hall of Heroes, Finds Some Familiar Faces
 |
…because they’ve all been released last year or so. seriously, I don’t think I realized what a crock the Hall of Heroes line was until I saw them, but basically, Hasbro had the fans vote on their favorite of the 25th anniversary figures, and will be re-releasing them in April in ew packaging. No changes. No additions. Just different packaging for the figures that aren’t more than a couple of years old. I guess if you refused to buy any of the 25th anniversary Joes, but recently suffered a massive head trauma and now decided you want to buy G.I. Joe, these’ll be great.
As you can see, the set comes with two Snake Eyes, Flint, Beachhead, Storm Shadow, Zartan, Firefly, a Viper, a Crimson Guardsperson, and a B.A.T. In shiny new packaging. Enjoy.
