Footloose

This unlikely kitbash boasts the body of Pursuit of Cobra Jungle Duke and the head of WWE's "Rated R Superstar", Edge.

 

The original G.I. Joe A Real American Hero Footloose figure included arguably the most arresting and poignant file card bio ever:

 

Meyers was Valedictorian of his high school class, captain of the track team, and an Eagle Scout. He was going for his degree in Phys. Ed. on a state scholarship when he suddenly dropped out, moved to the coast and became quite weird for about three years. He was standing on the boardwalk in Venice pondering something cosmic when the utter pointlessness of his existence hit him between the eyes like a runaway freight train. "I think I'll join the Army," he said, and promptly did...

 

"Some of the Joes think that Footloose is out there, but all he's trying to do is find himself. He's the All-American Boy who got lost on the way to the fair and he's simply trying to go home any which way he can. Most folks think they know who they are and where they're going... They're the dangerous ones!"
