[scarecrow]

I have to take a moment to rave about the Steel Brigade figure. I found surprisingly found three or four of these at my local Fred Meyers, first single-carded 30th stuff I've seen. I'd been dying to get at least a couple of these for display and a mod, so I bought two of them.

I can't stop playing with the one I opened. I dare say that it has refreshed my love for GI Joes, especially in the modern line. I'm not sure exactly which part of the figure makes me happiest, though it's probably the head sculpt, which is to any observant fan the same sculpt as the PoC Beachhead(my favorite GI Joe figure EVER). That sculpt is one of the best Hasbro's put out, and seeing it on a 10/10 figure like Steel makes it even better.

The articulation, the accessories, and the colors make it really really badass to me, especially since I've been in love with the idea of the mail away Steel Brigade since I learned of it, and have always been disappointed that the promotion ended before I was even born(I think). *Whew* Now I'm gonna pose him a little bit more.
