I'm so glad that Super7 is continuing their original G.I.Joe faction, Glow Patrol. I am still obsessed with their initial 2022 Glow Patrol figures released in the 5-poa Reaction format as SDCC exclusives. I always wanted there to be more, but honestly never expected any. Then four years later we got an additional six brilliantly glowing figures in their O-Ring Reaction+ format (again as SDCC exclusives). This just seems like a deco that should have been released in the 80s. Almost all the major toylines back then had at least one GITD character, so why wouldn't G.I.Joe turn that gimmick into a whole faction like they always seemed to be doing. That dream never came true, but we have them now. I only hope the fun continues and we get more next year. It would be awesome to see some characters in the orange color that S7 does so well. Jinx or Pythona would be amazing. But honestly I'd be happy with anyone. Lady Jaye in green would be great, too. Let's check out Cover Girl below!
Super7 toys always glow so brilliantly.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here is Cover Girl with her standard figure from 2024.
And here are all the O-Ring Glow Patrol figures released this Summer (there were non-O-Ring Glow Patrol figures released in 2022). From Left to Right: B.A.T., Snake-Eyes, Cobra Commander, Cover Girl, Serpentor, and Duke.
The blue ones glow less brilliantly than the green. They are overshadowed in the group shot. But on their own, they are still brighter than most glowing toys.
Cheers!
