Editorial Review

It's a G.I. Joe. Wait, it's not a G.I. Joe. They have the same proportions and the same highly articulated limbs for extra posability, but this line of action figures from Blue Box--with its greater emphasis on authenticity and accuracy of details--is aimed more at the older collector than the youngster who just wants to play. That said, how do the Blue Box figures compare to the original G.I. Joes in terms of quality? Blue Box comes out slightly ahead in most areas, including facial expressions (more finely molded, expressive, and grim looking), equipment (the helmets are made of real metal and the camouflage patterns are closely modeled on the real thing), posability (the click stops on the limbs of the Blue Box figures make them better able to hold action poses), and detailing (even the insides of the helmets are full of carefully molded details). A very impressive showing for this relative newcomer to the arena of action figures. --David Stoesz ... Read more

"BAD" Figure/DOLL.
This piggish figure of a Gi-joe is a complete joke. the equipment is ok but the figure is like a stick; for babys. Hasbro makes better gi joe figures. I bought the thing for the equipment which is educational and highly detailed... excelent design. Blue box toys should just sell equipment by itself not figures. very happy with equipment. long live hasbro joes!

Marpat (Marine Pattern)
At the beginning of 2002 the USMC commenced phasing in a new combat utility uniform. These new uniforms are set to replace all currently used uniforms by the year 2006. A feature of these new uniforms is the new camouflage marine Pattern (known as "MARPAT"). This has been extensively tested in the field and proven to be very effective tactical camouflage. It was selected from over 100 offerings with eventually the two top patterns being MARPAT and a new Tiger Stripe which was eventually edged out by MARPAT. This new pattern is a customized digital pattern using 4 optimised colours for the Desert, Woodland and Urban patterns.
For those of you that are Marine Corps experts , then no doubt you are well aware of the term "MARPAT."

Stick with 1/6, bbi...
I happen to think bbi's 1/6 line is top notch, and when I saw that they also had a growing 1/18 scale line, I thought I'd check it out. I'm sorry to say, that I was pretty disappointed by these figures. There is plenty of articulation, but the figures are prone to coming apart (particularly at the forearm). The detail is good for this scale, but some of the various packs and belts are very difficult to attach to the figures. Overall they seem brittle and, ultimately, not very poseable despite it's many points of articulation. These figures are probably not detailed enough {or not accurately detailed enough) for your average adult collector, and they don't seem to have the playability that a young child would require. ...
