1988 Super Trooper (mail-away exclusive) G.I. Joe review

This is a review of the mail-away exclusive elite G.I. Joe infantryman figure "Super Trooper". He is instantly recognizable due his vac-metalized silver chrome chest plate, helmet, gun and riot shield. It is not well explained what the purpose of the shiny metal accoutrments are for. In 1988 you needed 4 special proofs-of-purchase to get him (found in specially marked carded figures or vehicle boxes). The following year, he was available through regular flag-point mail-order. He was a very popular send-in during the time of original release, but has little collector value now due to his non-character and ridiculous color.
