G.I. Joe Classified Series #193, David "Red Dog" Taputapu & Varujan "Taurus" Ayvazyan

Yo Joe! The Renegades Are Here

G.I. Joe is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. Wherever there's trouble, G.I. Joe is there.

New to the G.I. Joe Classified Series line, David "Red Dog" Taputapu & Varujan "Taurus" Ayvazyan come ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This 2-figure set contains 20 character-inspired accessory pieces. Red Dog comes with 2 alternate hands, football, kicking tee, backpack, knife, Fa'alaufa'i club, war club, and weapon accessories. Taurus comes with 2 alt hands, knife, Ottoman battle axe, kilij sword, and weapon accessories.

Red Dog and Taurus complete the ragtag recruits enduring intense training under the watchful eye of Sgt. Slaughter at the "Slaughterhouse."

Code Name: Red Dog

File Name: Taputapu, David
Primary Specialty: Infantry
Secondary Specialty: Special Services
Birthplace: Pago Pago, Samoa

The Renegades have no official status. Their movements and activities are virtually unrestricted. They don't get any credit when they succeed, and everybody denies knowing anything about them when they fail.

Red Dog could have had a pro football career as a barefoot placekicker if a defensive lineman hadn't ground his cleats into the big Samoan's obtruding toe. He later worked briefly as a stuntman in "B" movies until he was recruited by G.I. Joe Command.

"The other Renegades think that Red Dog is handy to have along on missions. If they encounter an obstacle of any kind – barricade, tank trap, or phalanx of armed guards – they simply point Red Dog in the appropriate direction, let him go, and wait for the dust to settle."

Code Name: Taurus

File Name: Ayvazyan, Varujan
Primary Specialty: Demolitions
Secondary Specialty: Mountaineering
Birthplace: Istanbul, Turkey

Taurus was a circus acrobat in Europe who did occasional undercover work for an international police task force. His circus act involved breaking two-by-fours on his own face — a feat which so impressed the G.I. Joe top brass, he was recruited on the spot. Taurus has been cross-trained in explosives and mountaineering and is fluent in a dozen languages.

"He's an animal. He stops hockey pucks with his forehead and opens bottles with his nostrils. Lucky for us, he does everything G.I. Joe HQ tells him!"

Never Been Afraid

There comes a time when even the Joes must resort to unconventional tactics to successfully complete a mission. The Renegades are the Joes' answer to offensive bullying — a highly secretive branch made up of soldiers who are tough, unruly, and willing to take on "secret" missions the Joes might deem "out of character." All are dedicated to the G.I. Joe cause, but loyal only to themselves.
