G.I. Joe the Rise of Cobra Combat Heroes Review: Heavy Duty & Storm Shadow
I’ve been putting off these G.I. Joe the Rise of Cobra Combat Heroes reviews because I haven’t had time to go back and rewatch the film (along with its appropriate prequel, 500 Days of Summer) for the grandest movie of all time: G.I.

The best example ever is Masterpiece Optimus Prime and NECA’s TMNT which are things of beauty and marvel. So while no little Combat Hero can ever create that same sense of awe, this little ninja is in a league all of his own.
