International Joes. - United Kingdom Good Guys. - Chapter 4.
Blades.

By J.King.

Not to get confused with the Ninja of I.N.F. Blades, was a mishap of sorts. I received him from a company who I guess didn't get my original order straight. He came in a package broken and parts. So with some extra interior pieces I was able to get this once, defender of the UK back together. The seller let me have him for the shipping cost and that was that. Blades is a direct mold of Trip Wire, yet not the same character. Below is his bio before the pictures. He originally came with an Action force version of the Cobra FANG and was part of Action Forces SAS team. As Action force originally had about six subgroups ranging from a Space force to Z force. The Blades I have is missing his SAS symbol from his chest yet his black armor is really cool and makes for a great Night Fighter version of trip wire. Not that Trip wire was one of my favorites. And usually met an unfair fate at the hands of Cobra. But for your enjoyment, below are the side by side comparisons. Enjoy.
