Today we’ve got the G.I. Joe Trooper from Wave 1. The Trooper was the first of the Retaliation line that was not a ninja that bore the famed rocker ankles(and one of the few in Wave 1 that had any ankle articulation at all,) and was much sought after because it was available in two variants. Monkeywrench scored one of the blue variants for me to review, so we got to give him some props!

Great review! I’ve never seen these (or any other Retaliation figure) on Australian pegs.
I’ve said this before, but I really think this figure was meant for the 30th line or elsewhere and was repurposed into the movie line – that’s the only reason I can think of for the big disparity in articulation between this and any other non-ninjas in wave one.
