G.I.Joe ‘Red Spot’ Discussion by Mitchell Smith!
Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m putting the G.I.Joe 2003 Red Spot in the spot light. He is listed as a laser trooper but I think of the red dot as more of a modern day sniper. That may open up a huge discussion but let’s see what happens. This is a really cool figure with a beautifully textured outfit that makes this figure pop. Along with the solid molded uniform he is equipped with a removable helmet and a ghillie suit that further enhances my theory on Red Spot being a sniper. This is one that I would love to get a little more background on. I don’t think he was ever in a cartoon, and I’m not sure If he was in any comics but he is one great looking figure.
There wasn’t a modern version of him but he looks great next to a couple of my favorite modern figures. Red Spot appears to have been lost in the shuffle but this is one cool looking figure. This one brings me back to a simpler time in my life. Back when worries we’re wondering when the next wave of Joes were going to come out and most importantly how I would convince my parents why I needed that particular Joe in my collection.
Most of the time it was simply dreaming and pretended. Who loves Red Spot? Who would love to see him in a modern 4 inch or 6 inch figure? Sound off below and let us know! Make sure to check back for our next discussion.
