Gi Joe Joecon 2012 Exclusive Mission Brazil Leatherneck
This figure came out in the 2011 Joecon boxset. After seeing the Generalsjoes’ group shots of how well it blended in with the other Sunbow Joes, I came across a good deal on Ebay (buy now fo $70) and decided to grab it. Of course, this is all moot now that the 30th Anniversary version captures the look of the character even better.
This Leatherneck, while still not cartoon accurate enough, is more accurate color-wise to the vintage 80’s figure.
With the ROC Leatherneck that came with the TigerCLAW vehicle.
The main annoying point here is the ROC Pit Commando vest’s hole is not aligned with Leatherneck’s back. It took a good 25 minutes trying to figure how to get the backpack’s peg in there.
Ironically, this figure isn’t even accurate to the vintage Mission Brazil set. The accurate one is the one that came with the dessert AWE Striker.
