All: 50th Gung Ho


1997 brought GI Joe back to store shelves after a two year hiatus. The new line included several repaints of classic figures. Gung-Ho was released in a new color scheme as the driver for the Slugger. I have been on a 1997 remake kick lately and started looking at Gung-Ho. I wasn't sure about his color scheme at first. The original's mix of brown and baby blue seemed strange, but I dove in anyway. I kept the blue trim on the vest and pretty much eliminated the rest. Also, it's subtle, but the brown on brown camo pattern came out pretty cool. I'll probably use that technique again.
