G.I. Joe Underappreciated Featuring ‘Raptor’!

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at an under appreciated G.I. Joe Cobra figure that I had as a kid and I thought he was really cool, the 1987 Raptor. I always loved the uniqueness of the characters especially in the later eighties. One of the most distinct features of Raptor is that big honking nose. I love the design of his outfit especially his cape. I always assumed he could fly with his cape but I’m not sure now, I think this is just cosmetic. It would have been a cool feature to fly, I guess in my world he can use his cape to fly.

They did do one modern version of Raptor but they cheeped out on his cape. I thought the figure was cool but I passed on all the overpriced lines of the late 2000’s. Raptor did make it into the comics but was never in an animated series. I think he would have been a cool character to see. I personally would love to see him in 6 inch scale. We got a Croc Master so why not get a cool Raptor. Who loves Raptor? Share your opinions with us in the comments. Make sure to check back for our next discussion.
