If you are like me, G.I. Joe toys do not ever reach the brick and mortar shelves in your area. I always preorder online in order to avoid missing out on what I really want. BBTS looks to be among the first to have them up for ordering.

From the mysteriously complicated desk of Phantom Stranger:
“Alright, I’ve been putting this off for too long now. I’ve been meaning to review this figure since it came out back in February last year, but for some reason I never got around to it. Perhaps it’s because I didn’t have a lot to say about the figure, or perhaps it’s because I just didn’t feel it was worth the time. I honestly cannot say, but we might as well get it over with.
Starting with the box we have the usual style that the Club Infinite Earth figures came in, with original artwork of Stranger wearing a dinner plate around his neck.
Aaaand is seems Mattel didn’t know which version of the character they were doing. The Bio on the back indicates it’s supposed to be the New 52 character, but the figure itself represents the silver and modern age version, which had 4 different origins to confuse everyone. The box also states “None” for the name, which lines up more with the silver/modern as opposed to the N52. It’s like buying a Huntress figure and her name being Helena Wayne but the bio saying she was the daughter of crime lord, Santo Cassamento.
Opening the figure up is of course easy, just slide the tray out after popping the top. Getting the figure out of a tray is another matter, I wouldn’t say it’s hard, but they thread the cape through the tray, and the cape is wider than the cutout. Simply folding the (thankfully) pliable cape into a taco shape is enough to get it out, but it is a rather perplexing design choice that Mattel continues to stick with.
But I guess that doesn’t matter all that much. The figure is what really counts here.“
