In a bit of fun, the Kre-O G.I. Joe blind-bags have included callbacks to the 12-inch Adventure Team figures. The first series included the Adventure Team Commander, which I don't have. But as you see above, the second series had the Land Adventurer (who comes with a "boxed figure") and the third has Mike Power, the Atomic Man!
In-story, Mike was a handicapped man who "wouldn't settle for the disabled limbs (he) was born with," so he built his own
Mike also had a personal helicopter thing, that for the Kre-O version looks like an engine block with a rotor mounted on it. It was apparently powered by Mike's internal atomic power. It reminds me of the umbrella-copters the Penguin would sometimes use to escape Batman, and seems about as practical. Now, Cobra's jet-pack troopers seem plausible in comparison!
Cute pics man. So Mike Powers was a knock-off Steve Austin huh?
ReplyDeleteMan that's funny.
