Hut, Hut, Hype! Why Captain Grid-Iron Needs the Classified Call-Up

Story by Mitchell Smith

Welcome to The Outpost. I’ve been looking at 1990 figures lately. This was a great year and many cool characters came from this year. Hasbro has done a nice job releasing a number of Vipers such as the Saw Viper and the Range Viper who still is a hard to get Classified figure for what ever reason. On the Joe side I have mentioned a couple cool figures and Hasbro has not yet tapped into the 1990 line up of Joes to release innClassified figures.

Salvo, Sub Zero, and Skydive are just a few, fans are waiting for, but one figure stands out from 1990 and in terms of a Classified figure Captain Gridiron stands alone as a must have sooner then later. Captain Grid-Iron was the leader of the group and a must have ASAP. I don’t think we will see a Bunker Buster anytime soon but Captain Grid-Iron is a must. The original had an array of weapons, a cool unique look, and has stayed a fan favorite over the years. In terms of rank I think Capt.

Grid-Iron falls in after Beachhead or SGT. Slaughter. I’m not sure if that was ever revealed honestly. Over all Grid-Iron is one that would be cool to see soon in classified style. Who had Captain Grid-Iron as a kid? Who wants to see him in Classified style? Make sure to check back next week for the next discussion at The Outpost.
