I picked up six when from the Pursuit of Cobra line, and I've had to resist buying the three or four I've seen on the newer cards. Love the Steel Brigade.

Then they remarketed it, after the show had ended, as the Viper X. I wonder if they still have the molds. ERTL did, once upon a time, make a Joe-scale Airwolf toy.

Now I have this horrible, awesome idea of GI Joes flying around in Airwolf. Best crossover ever. His helmet looks like he should be flying Airwolf.

I went into an IT career, but still can't fly a plane. :P -airfox My Steel Brigade figure was called Airfox (d’uh!), and his specialities were jet pilot (or something to that effect) and computers.

I always kind of wondered why they never added them to the comicbooks and GI Joe's answer to the cobra troopers. me and my brother each had a Steel Brigade trooper when we were kids.

Anyway, he's an army builder (with the card describing him as the "green shirts" of the joes now, I guess) so he comes with a lot of weapons so you can outfit multiple guys in different ways. So you've got a couple with the assault rifles, maybe a machinegunner or two, and a couple with the launchers - ah, you know what I'm talkin' about. Point is: I love 'em! Great figures. In face, this whole wave is army builder heaven with Cobra Troopers and Vipers (probably the best Viper they've made so far). Keep a lookout for Renegades figures in the next wave - they should be out soon! Yeah, it looks like you’re missing the machine gun!

The third - a heavy machine gun - is actually supposed to connect with the tripod. The bayonet one isn't meant for that. Also I love the Steel Brigade and Cobra Trooper from the same wave, mainly because they are some of the first 3 3/4" Joe figures who can kneel and position a rocket launcher over their shoulders, due to excellent leg articulation + hinging wrists.
