G.I. Joextravaganza... Part 3: Recondo

Daniel M. LeClaire. He was the G.I. Joe version of Crocodile Dundee. He hated the cold and was the resident Joe jungle expert. This was another specialist that I was a fan. As i've stated before, I was not a fan of the generic camo soldiers. I always liked the specialists.

There were two versions of this Recondo, one version has green stripes the other has brown striped pants. His hat which unfortunately is not removeable is killer. One of my favorite features on the figure. In the later series of Joe's, Gnawgahyde had a similar hat which was removeable. I dug that. Recondo was featured recently in the Joe comics where it seems that he had died, which I'm happy to report was false. He's still alive and just laying low while he plots a crazy comeback against Cobra. I don't really remember if Recondo was featured in the cartoon or not. All I do know is that he was one of my best (and first) Joe figures I ever had.
