F7746 GIJ CS Dumas Pet: Scrap Iron w/ Drone
A favorite of Michael’s growing up, Scrap Iron was introduced into the line in 1984 and I think we would consider this a deluxe figure by today’s standards. He appeared with a black helmet and visor, a blue shirt with open collar, blue pants, a dark red vest, a belt, holster, and boots. He has black gloves and kneepads and a red Cobra insignia on right shoulder! Scrap Iron’s pack out makes him unique as he came with a six-piece black missile launcher with 2 supports, a pivot, a box top and bottom, and activation switch with cord. To top it off, two red finned missiles fit snugly in the missile launcher and of course, they had to be red given how outlandish Cobra Commander is! If that wasn’t enough, he also came with a black RAR pistol.
Scrap Iron was verbally revealed to be coming to the GI Joe Classified Series in 2023 during the Instagram Live Stream on June 22, 2022 so we are providing some concepts, again, from Stronox! Using the GI Joe Classified Series Cobra Island Firefly as the base for the figure, he created a new head sculpt and used the classic red, blue, and black paint scheme that we all grew up with. Although this version was made with a rocket launcher, we could very well see some of these types of updates done as a deluxe figure for the Classified Series. The technique that Stronox uses really makes the figure pop and weapons look like actual metal.
The only figure so far to be specifically called out as a deluxe figure, Lenny said it was “Scrap Iron and drone” so this could be a modification to his classic rocket launcher! We are drawing inspiration again from Stronox customs as he has already reimagined what a modern version of Scrap Iron could look like. This cersion, albeit in 3 3/4″ scale, gives us a look at what a missile drone could look like. The jury is out whether this is a rolling or flying drone, we can’t wait to see how Hasbro reimagines Scrap Iron for the Classified Series.
