Red Laser Army was a great combination of ambitious and obscure. They were willing to take big swings on large sets of figures. And, many of them were dedicated to G.I. Joe ephemera that was buried in the deepest recesses of collectordom. The Commando figure is based on a sticker set from 1982 that featured a gloveless Snake Eyes wearing green and camo instead of his trademark black. The figure was one of the highlights of the 2017 Red Laser Army figure set. It quickly found a strong life among the creators of the time. It's hard to fathom that this figure was released 8 years ago. And, much of the content that once featured Commando have fallen into the abyss of social media. I was able to find some solid content featuring the figure.
Commando remains a great figure. It's a perfect look for an alternate Snake Eyes. The figure works well with other Red Laser Army figures, too. You do still see Commando from time to time. He's more common than most of his 2017 classmates. But, even my use of him has diminished in recent years. Most of the photos below are a couple of years old, at least. I should try to use him and other Red Laser Army figures more frequently. Until then, enjoy the content below.
