Post subject:  Additional Walmart Jeep Rubicon Adventure Wheels sets
So yesterday, I was out doung last minute turkey day shopping and popped down the old Walmart toy aisle. Nothing new except their Adventure Wheels Joe sclaed vehicles now included new Jeep sets. I’d seen the lime Jeep drbindy reviewed a while back, but this was the first time seeing the black jeep with camper or hardtop jeep with sea fishing boat. Unicorn Addict and I took the boat down to the ocean as the tide rolled out and while not the most stable thing in the world, it stayed afloat. For $5 more then the jeep by itself, it is a pretty solid deal for the combo at $20 and way cheaper and more in scale than Brueder.

And now you can reenact "Bazooka Sees A Sea Serpent".

Your set was $20? The two Walmarts here that had the sets had them at $25.

Does it still have black paint for a windshield instead of clear plastic? That's the biggest let down for me with these sets.

Yes, still a solid windshield. I've cut them out in the past and replaced them with packaging plastic. For the Jeep you probably don't even have to do that.

Does anyone have a picture of the Adventure Force 4'' figures that come with these sets next to a modern GI Joe figure ( and / or a classic O-Ring figure) they can share?

Closer to modern construction but really cheaply made. Like sometimes missing paint apps on the back or just sloppily applied. They kind of remind of old Funskool figures in that regard. No ankle or wrist articulation.

I appreciate you taking the time to take and post the picture. Thank you!

It's closer to modern construction but with a screw in the back for disassembly. Minus the waist articulation it looks like the best of the new sculpt era more or less.

It's not 3.75" tall but ... I'll pick one up as a blank slate test piece. "Cheap" fodder with adequate articulation is becoming harder to find.
