G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

[DetectiveHoag]

Eventually I'll get around to Screaming Eagle week in the One A Day thread...

No pressure. I just figured that would be a logical spot to insert a “French resistance” soldier.

Of all the Joe offshoots, that one probably makes the most sense to be a Classified spinoff line.

Is there a French Foreign Legion guy or is Dusty the closest we've got?

I never went to college but I don't think Nevada is very close to France.

They're predominantly depicted as desert troops in N. Africa. They also have cloth flaps on their neck. Ie: Dusty or the Desert Scorpion guys.

“Close” is a relative term. If you mean Nevada is close to France compared to, say, Mars, then yes, it’s close. If you’re comparing it to Spain, then no.

The French Foreign Legion has sported a number of different looks over the years:

Their current look is much closer to most other modern militaries.

It saddens me to have my skin crawl with the sight of that leaked figure. I hope we can turn this around. I hope.

I walked into my Target to see 8 or so Royal Guards. I grabbed a couple to check em out. Then I found out about Young Sherlock on Prime and I’m smitten.

Thwipp!

We have had at least two French Foreign Legion characters in GI Joe.
