Nice touches: "reversed" American expeditionary flag on right shoulder, subdued 10th Mtn Div patch on left shoulder (but, mysteriously, no "mountain" tab)

Good stuff: it stands easily and securely on the skis without needing external support . Cool accessories: skis, poles, M4, canteen, bayonet with scabbard, utility belt, white cold-weather boots, and O.D knit cap. This Joe comes with a "muscle torso" and molded black fingerless gloves -- which, combined with the baggy white drawstring trousers that look a lot like karate pants, makes 10th Mtn Div Joe good for martial arts dioramas, too!

Minor disappointments: the remainder of the accessories consisted of 2 M-16 ammo pouches, 2 field dressing pouches, and a rucksack that doesn't have suspenders. What's up with that? If he's going to come with TA-50, he might as well have the suspenders so it will all fit on him.

It's great that GI Joe is honoring the 10th Mtn Div, especially with their service in Afghanistan.

I am a fan of GI Joes. This figure comes with an M4 assault rifle with RIS Integrated Rail System and an M68 sight, which is the same as the one that comes with the old 10th Mountain Division Echo figure I have.
In Christmas 2002 I got the 10th Mountain Division Echo figure, which is the same figure, for the same price, but with a lot more accesories. In 2002 it was taken off the shelves due to lack of interest. The Echo figure comes with both full Woodland AND Overwhite camo BDUs. The Echo figure also comes with a VERY nice webbing set, PASGT helmet with a white cover (which is NOT supposed to come off, believe me), gas mask, and the skis that come with ths Elite figure.
If I were going to buy this figure, I would think again. If you go onto EBAY or an independant dealer site you might still be able to find the earlier version, which is much better.

This is a great GI Joe. The skis are awesome. The poles don't break very easily, they bend a little bit. His gun is vary durable. Overall I would give it five stars.

This GI Joe is plenty of fun. He has a great history and is fun to learn about. True, his belt can somtimes come off, and the equipmint doesn't always stay on. However, this happens with many GI Joes. He has a gun and a good pair of skis. All things considered, I think he is a great toy and is worthwhile getting.

Well, my nephew already left one of the little accessories behind, the flashlight. And it's plastic, so it's going to break. He liked the extras that came with this toy, he didn't already have it, and it's GI Joe, so no complaints. My sister doesn't like any war-themed toys, and I don't think it has much educational value, so this was a compromise - not overtly violent, they are RESCUING people. It explains what the 10th Mountain Division does, so it gives some background to their specialty.

It looks fun, but most kids like sets with more weaponry.
