Ice Dagger
"The Ice Dagger is a fast, light-armored, heavily armed universal transport, developed for winter conditions. It is carries a crew of two or three and can carry at least six dismounted infantry and their gear in the rear compartment. It carries a pair of 20mm autocannons and four antiarmor missiles in a remote turret. A heavy machine gun mounted ahead of the main turret can be operated remotely or alternatively by a crewmember or trooper from the passenger compartment through a hatch in the roof."
This is a bit of a first for me - the Ice Dagger marks the first of my G.I.Joe builds that take their inspiration from a toy from the "Valor vs Venom" line, which was a later iteration of G.I.Joe than the classic A Real American Hero that line I'm most familiar with.

I will likely get to a few more of these later-era vehicles, as some of them are really quite nice, but I don't plan to build most of them. The Ice Dagger is basically a upsized skimobile and it ended up a little larger than I expected, in part because of the canopy I ended up using, which made the basic hull 8 studs wide. I've built a good number of winter vehicles for the Joes, but they were still missing a dedicated troop transport, and the Ice Dagger fit the bill nicely.
My Arctic building spree is nearing its end, but I'm not quite done yet. I have at least one more vehicle on its way in winter colors.
