He is a walking squad killer if any of his bombs get shot. lol. I can't recall seeing many shots with him being done. Heck none really from this year. I say go for it. I'd like to see that Bludd make something go boom.

neapolitan joe G.I.JOE ITALIAN COLLECTOR Offline --> Posts: 27,808 --> Join Date: Jan 2007	My classifications... 1) The "CLASSIC ERA G.I.JOE": 1982-1994 (A.R.A.H), 1997 (R.A.H.C.), 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2002 till The Real American Hero Collection ends; 2) The "NEW SCULPT ERA G.I.JOE": 2002 (G.I.JOE vs. Cobra), 2003 (G.I.JOE vs. Cobra Spy Troops), 2004 (G.I.JOE Valor vs. Venom, Comic Book 3 Packs, etc.), 2005 (as 2004 plus D.T.C.) and 2006 till Direct to consumer ends; 3) THE "MODERN ERA G.I.JOE": 2007 (25th anniversary), 2008, 2009 (Rise of Cobra), 2010 (Pursuit of Cobra), 2011 (30th Anniversary), 2012 (Retaliation, Renegades), 2013 (as 2012), 2014 (50th Anniversary), 2015, 2016 and 2017. I think only number "1" (my so called CLASSIC ERA G.I.JOE)'d be eligible for A.R.A.H. section. __________________ My collection: http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/bro...r&imageuser=444

silentdusty Crusty Ol MWO Offline --> Posts: 2,994 --> Join Date: Oct 2006	I'd go with anything O-Ring for ARAH, because that's what they were, even in the new sculpt era. 25th and after is for everything else. __________________ SILENT DUSTY "...but for a soldier his duty is plain.

TwoOneEight US Navy Veteran Offline --> Posts: 2,643 --> Join Date: Aug 2011	My Classifications Joes are Joes. Cobra is Cobra. I mean, there is room in my Joeverse for all of them. There are still some O-ring figures that need ME versions of them, but I ain't complaining. To me, it is not disrespectful for O-ring Medi-Vipers to work on my wounded ME Combat Ninjas. Or my O-ring Med-Alert and ME Lifeline to work together. I keep a team of O-ringers as my APC drivers, because ME figs do not fit in the driver's seat. And O-ringers are more than welcome to ride in my PTE Humvees driven by my ME figs. There is room for everyone. __________________ . . . "They're not dolls, they're Action Figures!

Mirage, big Ben, grey/blue alley viper, red/gray alley viper, etc. Some said they were like the red-headed Bastard child of gi Joe. But by valore vs venom and dtc, one could see hints of later standard construction. Major barrage, for example.
