Another Wrestler Joins G.I. Joe

First of all, this is not a joke. As much as it sounds like a joke it is not. This is a no joke zone for a moment… Okay, here we go:

The newest 2007 JoeCon exclusive was announced and it just may just be one of the oddest Joe convention exclusives ever. Just like Sargent Slaughter, this time it’s a wrestling legend with Rowdy Roddy Piper joining the ranks of G.I. Joe toys. Unlike Slaughter who is on the G.I. Joe team, Piper is a member of the Iron Grenadiers, which is Destro’s private army. It kind of makes sense, if you pretend that Piper is actually from Destro’s home turf of Scotland.

There isn’t an image of the figure available at the moment, but if you want to see the file card head on over to Master Collector.com.

By God, I never thought I’d write about Rowdy Roddy Piper on a toy blog or outside of the context of talking about They Live, which is one of the greatest cinematic achievements in decades. But no, a wrestler popular in the 80s is going to be a G.I. Joe. Am I taking crazy pills?

    Wouldn’t he have been a better fit for the Dreadnots? (Is that what those looney bastards were called? You know, the ones with the chainsaws?)
