A look into GI Joe 2010
Cycle with Storm Rider. This was a new Dreadnok from the Pursuit of Cobra movie. One other piece I think is awesome, but was released as a club exclusive as part of the classic 12 inch line Adventure Team was, the man eating plant. This would have sold well at retail especially for those Cobra La enthusiasts. This was an interesting year for figures as the 2009 Resolute cartoon was successful so we had those figures on top of the Pursuit of Cobra, and we were still getting some Rise of Cobra Figures. I’m
Not sure if it was the 44.3 inches of snow we got that December only rivaled by the blizzard of ‘66 and the one I remember most fondly the blizzard of ‘93 but my 3 favorite Joes were Arctic Shipwreck, Arctic Doc, and the new sculpt of Snow Job. For Cobra it was Arctic Destro, Alley Viper, and Jungle Viper which was later made into an Arctic Viper or maybe that is a custom figure I’m thinking of, it should have been a thing if it wasn’t. Any hoot, I didn’t pick up many of the Resolute figures for budgeting reasons but overall this was a cool line. The best club exclusive was an O-Ring Big Lob which I wish I could have gotten my hands on and the convention exclusive I love most and don’t have is Gaucho. Who is your favorite 2010 figure? Make sure to check back for our next discussion.

SO many great figures from that year. PoC is probably my favorite Joe line of all. I don't like that they went to the bland G.I.Joe logo's instead of the vibrant 25th ones but damn the figures were solid. I regret not getting Storm Rider as he is crazy expensive now. Resolute, PoC, some Roc, I hardly think there was a bad figure that year.

I had several opportunities to pick him up but never did. Was so focused on army building PoC Cobra Trooper and Cobra Shock Troopers at that time. Had around 20 of each. Started delving into customs at the time so wanted a realistic base for my Joe customs.Doc Proto wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2024 4:30 pmDude I had 3 storm riders at once he was great for custom nocks and guess what I still have one misb.

POC is easily the best upgrade to the gi joe characters along with Classified. A lot of the Classified are already upscaled POC figures.

Just curious what everyone's favorite POC figure is, it is so hard to choose. I think i would have to go with Jungle Viper and Snow Job a close second, i still love the fact that Snow job came with a frying pan, that is an epic accessory piece.

So many good figures there. Shock Viper and Red/black Alley Viper are both great troop builders.

Re: A look into GI Joe 2010
My favorites are Cobra Trooper and Cobra Shock Trooper. But Low Light, Desert Battle Snake Eyes, Snow Job, and Cobra Viper are excellent as well. I just like the realistic military look on the two troopers.
