GI Joes Spirit Iron-Knife - Are We Playing Cowboys & Indians or GI Joe?

Posted on September 1st, 2008 by Cole

GI Joes Spirit Iron-Knife is the GI Joes team Tracker. It seems that military tracking is waning quite a bit due to all of the GPS technology that is available today. However, a soldier knows that there is a time to revert back to the fundamentals. Being an expert in the basics of tracking has its applications. Just ask Iron-Knife.

I am a bit on the fence when it comes to my opinion on the GI Joes Spirit Iron-Knife. I guess it just seems that this type of action figure would fit in better in a more Cowboys an Indians type genre. However, to be fair, I will have to say that I really liked the detail work in this particular action figure.

As far as the paint job on this GI Joes Tracker, I’d have to give it a strong 7 out of 10. The colors are a bit wierd for me but this seems to fit the character. I like the square-jawed grim look on Iron-Knife’s face. It looks like he isn’t too happy to be dealing with anyone and would rather be on a mountain top somewhere hangin’ out with his Eagle.

GI Joes Charlie Iron-Knife is a warrior, medicine man, shaman and a walker between worlds. Now that’s interesting if you ask me. I’m guessing some unique roles could come up for old Charlie in any GI Joes comic, cartoon or movie.

GI Joes Spirit Iron-Knife first appeared in Marvel Comics #31, January of 1985. Snake-Eyes, Spirit and Airborne were off in High Sierras at the private cabin of Snake Eyes. Destro, Firefly and the Crimson Guardsman Fred Smith happened on the cabin and instigated a shootout with the GI Joes team. To make a long story short, and one you’ll probably want to read for yourself if you haven’t already, the cabin is blown to shreds.
