They're ok but both not what I expected. I'll get Raptor because I liked the original. Hoping we get a retro carded G1 version of them both with light accessories. Maybe Raptor can have those fabric wings or something more organic with an articulated bird this time, but I'm asking too much lol
Did you know that they took inspiration for the dredknocks from the movie Mad Max the road warrior. Also, in one, continuity of the of gi joe comics zarana dated road pig. That's what I've heard
I wasn’t a big GI Joe kid but as an adult my interpretation of GI Joe was that they are a realistic interpretation of “modern” military…. This demonstrates otherwise. I guess if one wants realistic military go with Valaverse Action force…. I could also be wrong
We feel GI Joe typically offers both. They have several characters who are strictly military, especially on the Joes side. Cobra (bad guys), on the other hand, have always scratched the “super villain” itch, offering the more out there characters. Justin loves the weirdos, even as a kid. We had WAY more bad guys growing up.
@@mirrortwins9694 I watched it recently and the bad guys are WAY OUT THERE! It’s wonderful. I guess the idea is a “Joe” is the elite and ready for anything. Especially Falcon after he went to the Slaughter house as a Green Beret… how much more elite can one get? A green beret?! The answer; a GI Joe green beret

I think a retro Raptor with cloth wings is a real possibility… maybe not with a movable General Ledger, though. Here’s hoping!!!🤞

We knew they were inspired by Mad Max, but we did not know about Zarana and Road Pig. Thanks for the info!
Did he ever have a dog named Rukus?
Being Australian I can totally see the Mad Max Road Warrior inspiration
Interesting that is also a Transformer named Road Pig.
Hasbro definitely dips into the same bucket of names!

Also, you should see the original 1987 GI Joe movie where they REALLY went Sci-Fi!
