G.i. Joe JoeClub Final 12 Sonic Fighters Lt. Falcon & Road Pig
Sonic Fighters Lt. Falcon
Sonic Fighters Road Pig
I’m on the fence about opening these, they are based on the vintage Sonic Fighters redecos of the figures, but I skipped out on getting Sonic Fighters Tunnel Rat and Law from the final Joecon. Sonic Fighters Road Pig and Lt. Falcon were the basic for the animation models that were used in the DIC G.i. Joe cartoons (minus the Sonic Fighters gear).
It’s a shame the Club never released Lt. Falcon based on the 1987 movie colors. That would’ve been nicer.
These two guys represent the last figures to be ever released based on the DIC era cartoons. It has been a looong ride and it’s incredible considering the Club managed to release almost all of them while working only with somewhat limited tooling. Thanks G.i. Joe Club! The DIC cartoons may seem inferior compared to the original Sunbow ones, but it was great to be able to generally grab again figures from a part of my childhood today.
