G.I. JOE AWE STRIKER (Retro release with vintage comparison)

[@holonet1]

I picked up two of these! Now, I've got at least 3 black ones, 4 tan ones & 2 greens. I don't think I'll ever need anymore AWE Strikers! lol

[@woodman29]

Lol that’s awesome! Never say never lol 😂

[@tomkleanthis5023]

You’re the only that has shown that the new striker can remove the engine thank u!

[@woodman29]

Your welcome TOM! 😁👊

[@skabcat242]

That was cool seeing gung ho, flint and alpin on the AWE Striker.

[@woodman29]

I got flashbacks of my childhood lol! It’s a great pickup!

[@palpatine1975]

Picked this up along with the retro Grunt and Cobra trooper. Grunt will go great with crankcase alongside him.

[@woodman29]

Congratulations on your scores! They are great figures!!!

[@SleepingCollectibles]

Man this striker looks great! I def need to pick It up!!

[@woodman29]

I've got the Orig w/ Box.. I want this!! Is it a coincidence the 2 ground vehicles the Retro line brought back are 2 that many of us want multiple of.. I hope they release the VAMP! I want multiples of that too! LOL

[@woodman29]

It’s a great released version! The vamp would be awesome. I’d definitely buy a couple myself!

[@retroboyone3577]

I so hope we get a new gung ho flint and alpine.

[@woodman29]

It’s possible! That would be great if they rereleased these!

[@gazz_N7]

If I didn't have a vintage one, I would definitely be getting one of these. I also have the tan AWE Striker that came with Chuckles, and a blue Cobra Snowcat. Kind of disappointed with that one as the rear shocks have already given out, but my 85 one is still going strong. Though I still love the tan one, just looks fantastic. Crankcase is one of my favorite drivers, the figure is just cool, I like the sweater look, and the tan pants. I always imaged he was like those WW2 British Desert Rats, and I always played him in that way. Great review!!! See you in the next one buddie!

[@woodman29]

Its crazy my original AWE has held up too. Man did I play with that thing lol. I grabbed this one cause the box art drew me in and I wanted to see the new Crankcase up close. For $25 I couldn’t pass it up lol!! Happy new year buddy

[@gazz_N7]

@@woodman29 True, the box art is great. The vintage one I have came with the original box, though very damaged, so I put it in a picture frame and hung it up.

[@woodman29]

Really? That’s a great idea, I may need to do the same!😁

[@gazz_N7]

@@woodman29 yeah, I'll shoot you a photo

[@walterwright8454]

Removing "A Real American Hero" really sux. Also, they took away some of the info on the file card to put in multiple languages. It doesn't show his rank. A very poor redesign for the box.

[@woodman29]

Absolutely agree with this comment… Although the artwork looks great, the file card is awful
