Read more about Sgt. Savage at: Wikipedia Official Site: Hasbro Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles is the name of a short-lived line of G.I. Joe, the military-themed toys by Hasbro. The main character is an imposing "Hard charger from the greatest generation" as depicted in his various filecards. Survivor of Omaha Beach and an infantry commander renowned for his skill, who after being frozen for over 50 years is resurrected and found out that he was subject of experiments made by the enemy. Now in the present, he possesses incredible levels of physical strength and enhanced reflexes. Devoted to destroy a "recently created" enemy team for the series called I.R.O.N. Army (International Robotic Operations Network) and its leader, General Blitz, Savage now joins forces with the G.I. Joe Team. The toyline is notorious for the way Hasbro eliminated the old O-ring hip system that allowed a figure to sustain the legs and provided the figure's hip articulation point, replaced by a simplier vessel for a twist peg inside the legs' frame. It is even more noticeable that the new scale used for the whole line is 4.5" instead of the classical 3.75". Sixteen 4.5" and one 12" figures were produced, 6 of Sgt. Savage (1 of them a "mail-in" exclusive), 3 of Gen. Blitz, 2 of D-Day, 2 of Dynamite, 2 of I.R.O.N. Troopers and 1 of I.R.O.N. Anvil. The 12" figure was a Hall of Fame called Total Combat Sgt. Savage. Three vehicles were produced for the toy line, a Jeep, a P-40 Warhawk and an enhanced enemy Panzer I.
Sgt. Savage has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
