G.I. Joe Classified Series Retro Cardback Snow Serpent
First up, is Snow Serpent. Snakes usually tend to be cold blooded, but Snow Serpents thrive in polar temperatures as the frontline arctic infantry troopers of the Cobra forces. They train to parachute onto ice floes before marching miles with a full field pack, assault rifle and anti-tank weapon.
This Snow Serpent figure features a classic deco and design of the Cobra Polar Assault Trooper inspired by the original 1980s G.I. Joe figures, along with eight accessory pieces, including goggles, snowshoes, backpack, three weapon accessories, and a figure stand inspired by the character’s rich history.
