Last year at this time The Blot was preparing for my first trip to San Diego Comic-Con. I had an amazing time, but if I had to pinpoint my biggest disappointment it would be Hasbro’s lame G.I. Joe Comic-Con exclusives. Everything revolved around the franchise’s upcoming live action movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and the figures were as disappointing as film. Thankfully Hasbro has redeemed itself this year with the SDCC Exclusive Sgt. Slaughter 3.75” action figure!!!
Sgt. Slaughter was also one of my favorite G.I. Joe characters because he was both a member of G.I. Joe and a professional WWF wrestler, two of my favorite things in the ‘80s. Well, Sgt. Slaughter is back and returns to the G.I. Joe universe with two different Comic-Con exclusives! This is definitely the SDCC exclusive The Blot is looking forward to the most, so hopefully I’ll be able to snag one after Comic-Con at a reasonable price.
The primary Sgt. Slaughter action figure is styled with a USA tank top, whistle, non-removable hat, championship belt, baton and a microphone. The variant figure (sold separately), in the Triple-T styling, comes with a whistle, non-removable hat, machine gun, and a revolver. Both versions of the SDCC 2010 Exclusive Sgt. Slaughter G.I. Joe action figure will retail for $12.99.
