| virgilatmit's Full Review: |
This GI Joe action figure is of the Millenium Series Collection; this particular Joe is an World War I Army Aviators (from the 94th Aviation Squadron). It should be pointed out that this figure is not really intended for kids: he comes with no weapons, and comes with a diorama that is intended for displaying (rather than playing with).
The diorama is rather interesting, as it contains the shot down wing of a German plane (a souvenir from a successful dogfight). While not armed with even a pistol, this Joe has good looking uniform: the uniform is decorated with a ribbon and his wings (both painted on), and it also includes flight boots, a flight jacket/overcoat, flight cap, goggles, scarf, a high hat and (of course) his dog tag. To complete the detail, a map of Luxemberg and the certificate of authenticity are included.
For the current price this Joe is running ($9.95 at kbtoys.com), he is well worth the money. Note that he is not available in stores, and comes only in a white box (not for display).
