G.I. Joe Gets the Jumbo Vintage Figure Treatment from Gentle Giant

Inspired by the Hasbro vintage GI Joe A Real American Hero figure, Gentle Gian is proud to bring you the GI Joe Machine Gunner, Code Name: ROCK ‘N ROLL. One of the first figures released in the series that started in 1982, Rock ‘N Roll is now the FIRST figure in an ongoing series of jumbo vintage figures.


From the GI Joe Command File:

File Name: McConnel, Craig S SN: RA989091452
Primary Military Specialty: Infantry
Secondary Military Specialty: PT Instructor
Birthplace: Malibu, California Grade: E-5

Rock ‘n Roll was a surfer in Malibu prior to enlistment. He was also a weight lifter and played bass guitar in local rock bands. Is familiar with all NATO and Warsaw Pact light and heavy machine guns. Graduated: Advanced Infantry Training (Top of Class). Specialized Education: Covert Ops School.






“Rock ‘n Roll is cunning but naive; forceful but shy. Possesses a strong sense of loyalty to his teammates and is sincerely concerned about their well being. A man of honor and integrity who can be counted on to hold the line.”

The GI Joe A Real American Hero Jumbo Figure line features reproductions of the original 3 ¾” figures, using digital scanning and outputting to create an exact replica, only larger. Each figure will be reproduced using roto and injection molding and will be made of durable plastics.

The Gentle Giant G.I. Joe Rock 'N Roll Jumbo Vintage Figure is now available for pre-order.
