    I played Spirit as Rambo. I attached Sergeant Slaughter arms on him witha Rock 'N Roll machine gun belt chestplate and equip him with an M-60, Storm Shadow's bow and arrow, and Falcon's backpack with the knife on the side.
    It was your worst nightmare.

I ran off and joined the Army and when I came back I found out my evil stepmother sold all my action figures (Star Wars, G.I.JOE, Transformers) inna garage sale. I have a few action figures and vehicles that were made back then but I bought them as an adult outta nostalgia.

    1:32 that re issue action figure has clearly been modeled after 'Billy' from the original Predator movie with Schwarzenegger. He's even got a Remington 870 mounted under his M16 & he's a "tracker"....

      Dale Bagwell , remember in the cartoon , they used to disrespect Storm Shadow and let fighter like Spirit or Quick Kick beat up on Storm Shadow , knowing that they were not skilled enough to defeat him like that

    • @stevengreen9536
      @stevengreen9536 4 года назад +5

      I don't think Storm Shadow had any beef with Spirit.If any thing Storm Shadow had respect for him.Even though they were enemies.During the Revenge of Cobra miniseries Spirit actually saves Storm Shadows life and Storm Shadow ends up returning the favor.In another episode Storm Shadow saves a captured Spirit from an unauthorized execution by the Dreadnaughts.Telling him he was a worthy opponent and did not deserve to be treated that way.

    • @Loremastrful
      @Loremastrful 4 года назад +6

      I think it was a bit of displacement. The rivalry is definitely Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow. But since Snake Eyes is mute and there needed to be dialog between rivals, it was transferred to Spirit.

    • @nygelleredpath

      It's because they both valued Honorable Combat through Cultural values. Without Native Americans the US wouldn't have even had Special Forces tbh.

    At 1:33 the " Sprit AKA Charley Iron Knife" looked less like GI Joe's Sprit and more like Billy Sole from Predator. Right down the vest and machete he uses to stand off with the Predator. Is that their way of hinting that Predator was really the first GI Joe movie or was it just a very lazy and Unimaginative sculpting artist? What year is that figure from? I've never seen that one before.
