AWE Striker and Crankcase GI Joe Classified Series In Hand Images

I want to give a huge thanks to my Toy Habits Partna Michael who gifted me this amazing AWE Striker and Crankcase GI Joe Classified Series vehicle set! It was for sale at the Hasbro Booth at SDCC 2025, but every time I got in line to try to buy it, it was sold out for the day Well the last day of the convention, Michael surprised me with this gift! I’ve always loved the look of this vehicle because it looks like a classic 1980’s Tamiya RC car! I had a blast photographing this, so join us as we follow Crankcase, Leatherneck and Breaker on an outdoor adventure! So without further ado, I bring you this AWE Striker and Crankcase GI Joe Classified Series In Hand Images by your very own Toy Sorceress with special outdoor adventure photos!

I really enjoyed my outdoor photoshoot with the AWE Striker!

Accessories come packed in this deck box and include all that you see pictured below. I think the coffee mug is my favorite.
