Sgt Airborne
G.I.JOE PARATROOPER
Sgt Airborne Not sure about you but The first thing I am drawn to on this figure is that head/ "Face" maybe it's just me and maybe you would never use it as such but it has a very "Bank Robber" feel to it. And I have now learned it was planned to be part of 30th anniversary the prototype revealed at G.I. JoeCon 2011 where it was shown this head coming with Law and order which as far as I know never happened with the "Mass Retail version" ( a figure i have yet to acquire) now other than looking like a "Bank Robber " I think at least on my figures if you look closely he looks to have a very disgruntled face ( - in a state of sulky dissatisfaction) at first glance I Thought this was just a repainted rise of cobra Ripcord. or a para-viper, or Sky Dive version 2 but we actually get a bit of almost everyone as the helmet is from G.I. Joe Renegades Ripcord, with the machine gun and grenade launcher that G.I. Joe Renegades Law came with. Airborne also comes with the leg harness and parachute rig from the 25th Anniversary Para-Viper.
Now besides the Great Head, Neat Gear and reuse of the Gear If your a Fan of the yet to be Released Data Viper Then seeing the body that has been used here and with the CONRAD "DUKE" HAUSER Figure that was released with G.I. JOE RETALIATION GHOST HAWK II VTOL Vehicle then like me you should be more than Happy as fingers crossed this using of the parts twice now should make it easier to make it cost effective to release the Data Viper when the time comes as in many ways it would or is not new tooling:D Another Reason I am glad to have this as part of my collection is if you read my The time has come for this GIJOEFAN1976 to go see G.I. Joe Retaliation then you will know I am trying my best to only buy the figures that still have the double knees, and more than 5 points of articulation and thankfully this version of Sgt Airborne has what I am looking for and happy to have and he also has the Multi Directional writs and ankles as well:D
