I have a 1992 G, I Duke soldier 12" unboxed picked him up in January along with action man 1973 Field commander and field commander radio. Great bargain I have now found that once you get hold of 1 or 2 figures you want to go out the next day to pick up another figure. Very addictive 😀
Why the changeable head? Still wouldn't mind getting hold of this figure. This size figure start me off collecting these.Just started collecting 12" Action man. Now have recently got hold of 3 characters from Star wars force of destiny. I found once you get hold of one or two action figures you want to go out the next day and pick up another. Very addictive
I heard a lot of negative about this figure. The neck pivots no good the loadout is inaccurate the pouches don't stay put. But honestly. I love it. Gave him the Codename: Rapid Fire. Possibly the most disregarded GI Joe character. Awesome redemption. PS he looks awesome with Flint's goggles
@@noimthequestionI'm on a GI Joe kick. Got 10 in the last 2 months 😁. Getting the 60th anniversary scuba diver"Scuba Steve"and Sergeant Slaughter this week. Hasbro really hit The Sweet spot. We get to enjoy the new designs and the nostalgia 😎👍. They did do a 12-inch version of Rapid Fire"the most disregarded GI Joe" which is pretty cool. I might have to make that purchase
No, it is very similar to him though. The headsculpt for the original Beachhead as well as the new retro carded one is different, this body will be used for the new retro carded one however.
Not a fan. For a 60th aniversery figure you'd think they'd try to honor what they did with the 12 inch figures and make it as accurate to the real thing as possible. The neck articulation is garbage and while the vest puches are nice its nothing like the real loadout of a soldier and it gets in the way of articluationso so he cant hold his weapon 2 handed properly. As to the radio it fits the belt properly but you cant put it on the vest anywhere where it fits properly. The pegs between the pouches and radio are diffeant sizes....wtf? Also for anyone wondering the rifle isn't French. Its a Meme gun an American manufacturer makes for people with too much money. No army would ever field a double parreled infantry rifle. Std loadout for an infantry soldier is 8 magazines plus another 80 lbs of gear. If a soldier had to field that they'd have to carry the equive of 16 magazines. No soldier is doing that. lol.
I really enjoyed this figure and I hope that this video if nothing else, made you realize that you didn't want one. But I'll be honest, sounds like you watched a specific channel's review of this exact figure, and that's okay. Just make sure that your opinions are actually yours, and you aren't echoing the opinion of someone else without giving it your own thought. Like I said, hope you enjoyed the video regardless and that you stick around.
I do agree on the weapons front, the selection is far from great in all honesty. But I still really enjoy the figure itself, it's great for posing and photography and at the end of the day that's what I'm here for. Hope you enjoyed the video regardless.

Yo bro , happy birthday
Big thanks my man, appreciate it.
Figures of the year im not sure about this one but it looks good I don't have it. Sabertooth is up for fig of the year also goro from storm.
I do wanna get that Sabretooth, I'm in need for a proper one for my X-Men shelf.
I think an m-16 with bayonet would have been a good choice.
I would've definitely liked that more.
Anything would be better then that meme gun. lol no army would ever field that.
lol he has that prototipe gun with two barrels, i saw it on the ian channel

Happy birthday brother,how's it feeling being 21 years old lol
Thanks! And it was nice, 2 years ago when I turned 21. I turned 23 last Friday lol.
Is that a repaint of Beachhead
No, it is very similar to him though. The headsculpt for the original Beachhead as well as the new retro carded one is different, this body will be used for the new retro carded one however.
Also if the hands r so damn hard why can't they do that with the guns??????
That's my exact same thought, these hands are so tough but these guns feel like they're made of gum.

The double barrel machine gun looks so dumb!
They could have put a little more effort into the weapons. Actually, the figure is a bit......... boring to be honest
