In today's review of GI Joe: Retaliation<\/i> Firefly<\/a>, Monkey Boy said that this was the first time there's been an unmasked 3¾\" Firefly. However, that doesn't mean this is the first time there's ever<\/b> been an unmasked Firefly.<\/p>\n

For instance, perhaps you'll recall Sigma 6<\/i> Firefly<\/a>, who was released in 2006:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nice, nice. But if you're feeling charitable, how about this 12\" Firefly from 2002? He's definitely showing a lot more face than any previous version:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But even that one isn't the first<\/b> first time Firefly's face was seen. See, in an issue of the GI Joe<\/i> comic<\/a>, Firefly takes off his mask on-panel, becoming the final major \"masked\" character to be revealed: he unmasked in #126, Destro lost the bucket in #97<\/a> (1990), Snake-Eyes in #93<\/a>, Zartan in #84<\/a> (both 1989), Cobra Commander way back in #55<\/a> (1987), and Storm Shadow in #52<\/a> (1986). <\/p>\n

Anyway, back on topic. In 1992, Firefly took off his mask for the first time:<\/p>\n
