Spirit comes with a Loin Cloth Belt, Green Back Pack, Green Dart Gun (Tan one pictured is from a weapons packd his Brow) ann and White Eagle Freedom. As a kid the worn Spirit I owned was armed with a weapon pack gun and back pack and a Freedom without any feet. I eventually replaced Freedom and the Back Pack. I still need to get his real gun. As a kid I bought Raptor over Roadblock v2 because I wanted his bird to use with my Spirit. The gold paint on his bracelets is very delicate and the green paint on his belt chips easily.
Spirit was just a cool looking figure, and was awesome in the GIJoe cartoon. He took on Storm Shadow more often than Snake-Eyes did. One last fun fact, Spirit is the only GI Joe I know of that does not have a belt buckle sculpted on his waist piece. I used this frequently in my custom figures for my stop motion animated show Animation Creation.
I too used Spirit a lot. The lone wolf angle is something I always liked. Plus he reminded me of the cool Native Americans I met as a kid and thier spiritualness always reflected in my play with him.
ReplyDeleteI loved Spirit reading the GI JOE comic book. Specifically issue 31. Spirit is featured there.
ReplyDeleteAm still missing this one for my collection but I will get him someday for sure.
ReplyDeleteAlways wanted this one as a kid.I think i ended up with the Slaughters Marauders version.Really wanted the original,though.
ReplyDeleteI loved this guy.
ReplyDeleteBut I dont remember his suit being like that...
He was repainted as part of Slaughter's Marauders. You may be thinking of that version of the figure.
