G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #43 - Flash (Rise of Cobra)

[docsilence]

This was right in the middle of Destro's presentation for the new Combat Johnny, but he didn't fret because he knew the Joes would be interested, even if they would come to refer to it as the 'combat shitter'.

Lookit, if there's one thing you want solidly built on the battlefield it's the shitter. Nobody wants to die pants around ankles, unwiped. That's money well spent.

Right, if you care about the dignity of your troops, this the product for you. They can shell this bad boy all day and it's only gonna help your man inside void his bowels.

"Hurry up in there, Footloose!"
"I'm tryin', man, but I got a shy sphincter! Can you, like, stop pressuring me man? I need to find my inner peace!"

Even in the 80's Ninjas didn't dare to wear big shoulder pads. That said, I'd get him.

 

[Ru1977]

Say what you will about the Red Fang Ninja but he's still got more votes than Big Brawler.

but how many did William "Refrigerator" Perry get?

all of them. Don't question me

Not really... I'll probably get to him by January.

 

[AceofKnaves]

They could do some cool stuff with this guy. But I want a traditional Red Ninja!!!

 

[Jolene00Negative]

I said don't question me!


and you technically didn't. Well played.

True story. I was in Iraq in 2007. Philippine guy was cleaning port-a-pottys. Mortor landed right on the guy. Sucks.

Day 43 - Flash (Rise of Cobra) (10/25/25)

Wrapping up ROC week with a member of the original 13! How upsetting would it be to get this version first? Or is he just really neat and different enough to be tempting? You decide!

 

[docsilence]

I think I learned this week I just don't really like ROC's aesthetic. The cards definitely feel like they were written by marketing and not by storytellers.

 

[Ru1977]

I definitely agree with that. For lack of a better way to put it, there's no heart and no soul.

That Flash looks like a Firefly figure in the wrong colors, with a weird helmet.

That said: it’s a cool toy. I don’t like it *as* Flash, but I’d buy this design in classified, as a different character.
