G.I. Joe Cobra Rattler Pilot: Wild Weasel custom card

Original Image by Hasbro, 1984.

 

Reproductions by Beggars Canyon Toys.

 

Wild Weasel did not come carded, rather the figure came in the box with the Cobra Rattler. I appreciate how Beggars Canyon Toys handled the cards for the vehicle drivers.

Primary Specialty: Ground support pilot

 

Wild Weasel cut his teeth in the bus wars of South America and Africa during the last decade. His knowledge of close support aircraft ranges from jury-rigged civilian conversions to ultra state-of-the-art flying weapons platforms. A mouth injury inflicted during a strafing run is rumored to be the cause of the characteristic sibilance in his speech pattern.

 

Wild Bill says: "He may be a back-shootin', low down snake in the grass, but the boy can fly like nobody's business. You gotta respect the skunk for that! Hey-what did Voltaire say? To forgive our enemies their virtues-that is the greater miracle."
