G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Alpine Photo Shoot

under G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary, Photo Shoots

Alpine took up mountain climbing during college and continued as a recreation climber during his brief tenure as an accountant for a large publishing firm. When he joined the G.I. Joe team he relished the added challenge of climbing with weapons, gear, and armor while under enemy fire. When Cobra Rock Vipers assault a military communications installation, he beats them to the top to do battle, as his team fights Cobra Shock Troopers on the ground below.

Check out 15+ images of G.I. Joe 50th Anniversary Alpine after the jump.

    the shots are hawesome, and I still really like this figure, but I still think they cheaped out by not including the mass device piece. I mean was anybody really upset about not having the rest of the figures in the pack? I think people would have paid for just alpine and that mass piece.

    o-face duke is amusing, but..meh.

    whatevs, I know nothing.

    edit: I just realized I got my packs mixed up, I have the dumb. go hasbro!

    Is there any difference between this and the 25th anniversary version?

    I do not think there is other than the paint quality! I think the 25th Anniversary Alpine has better paint applications!

    HA! Awesome! I just came home with this figure about a half an hour ago and was wondering if anyone had pics of his gear placement. Thanks!

    One of my favorite 25th figures rereleased so the masses can enjoy it. Awesome. He just has so much good looking detail that really hits that ARAH feel.

    The 25th had the unfortunate "upward looking eyes" that I felt made him look like he was dead. At the time I heard it was so he looked like he was looking up the mountain... but I felt it was stupid.



    Looks like the 50th version has better eye paint apps at least.

    This one is nicer than the 25th. The main improvement in my mind is the fact that his crotch is fully painted. The 25th, the inner hip sockets were unpainted so you see white. They fixed that in the 50th one. Also, the plastic used for his jacket is softer on the 50th one so it actually fits a little better (ie. the rope part that plugs in doesn't stick out as much when you put his jacket on)

    Don't know if it was mentioned, but the hook can fit on the front of his rifle to kinda simulate his grappling rifle the vintage one came with.


    His rifle can also plug into the hole on the back of his belt as well.
