No one knows his real name or what he looks like; he’s known only by his work as”the Rembrandt of explosives.” He has been blowing things up for Cobra ever since Cobra Commander opened up for business. After Firefly launches a sneak attack on a G.I. Joe patrol, he has to quickly flee onto the desert when G.I. Joe team members Bazooka and Dusty give chase and close in to capture him.

G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Firefly
Pros
Great paint deco
Really awesome weapons and gear
Cons
None
Overall
Firefly is one of the best figures from the 50th Anniversary line that we have seen. The figure has awesome paint detail and the right amount of gear. This 3-pack is worth the purchase just to pick up this version of Firefly.

This is one of the best versions of Firefly and one of the best 50th Anniversary figures(even though it's a complete repaint) out there. I love his new rifle, new backpack, new side holster, and the fact he can easily be repainted to make a custom ME version of the TRU Exclusive Urban Strike Team or Crimson Strike Team.
Best FF ever......
That backpack tho.
Did you know those mines fit on the backpack?
Here's one I did with a mine that came with Blowtorch, the green is a pretty close match to the vintage green accessories Firefly had.
Is it just me or does the base color on Firefly look more "blue-ish" than dark grey?
I wish they made all of this Firefly the same color as they did from the knees down with this one. That would be almost perfect. Having said that I still like this version and I'm happy to add it to my collection
What sucks is that his lower legs are actually a different color. I never planned on getting this Firefly as I had the Retaliation one but in the end, the new backpack and the fact that his head had camo pulled me in and I ended up getting it. Now this is my default Firefly.
Nice pics! Too bad about the soft plastic and sloppy paint apps...but I have him as my default Firefly as well. I've always thought of Firefly as GI Joe's answer to Star War's Boba Fett...I just wish Hasbro or IDW would flesh out his character or history a little more...I never liked the ninja connection Hama gave him in the original Marvel series and actually preferred Sunbow's characterization of him an agent for hire who was obsessed with keeping his identity a secret...anyway, as long as they don't end up making him a clone or anything like that....
That's it
that's IT
Now I have to have this, but am not feeling the Blue Dusty or zooks.
So ... anyboduh wannuh trade me one of these?
