Low-Light was released in the first-quarter of 2011 as part of the fourth wave of figures in the Pursuit of Cobra line. The Pursuit of Cobra line features environment-themed missions in which the G.I. Joe team pursues Cobra operatives to the ends of the earth. As part of the City Strike mission theme, the G.I. Joe team stealthily infiltrates a Cobra warehouse, in an urban center, housing some of Destro's newest weaponry.
After undergoing a number of transformations--including changes in hair color, additions and substations of facial hair, and even reassignment of military specialties (as part of the 1993 Dino-Hunter Mission set, Low-Light was classified as a Dinosaur Night Spotter)--Low-Light has come full circle. The figure has a striking resemblance to its 1986 equivalent and even borrows biographical history from the original filecard, in the updated I.D. card. The similarities end there, however, as this version of Low-Light comes packed full of accessories and features the modernized update signature to the Pursuit of Cobra line.

Did You Know? As a spotter, Low-Light is tasked with helping a sniper adjust their aim or position in the event that the sniper misses their target.

I love this figure, one of the successful translation from ARAH to POC. I just hope I could find this guy from the retail stores. One comment though they could have given him a real night vision goggle, I don't think a red tinted goggle can do much at night. Love the picts, another great photo shoot. Keep it up!
Your comment got us wondering and we actually did a bit of research on night vision. We found that red night vision is used and its a useful spectrum for reading detail such as map coordinates or adjusting instrument settings. The drawback of red night vision is that you lose peripheral vision, making blue-green night vision ideal for activities that require movement.
The uniform is great and his accesories.Undensafortunatly he luxe another person. See Low-Light 91 http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/lowlight3.shtml and saw this.
Also his chair color is diferent.
This is when I mean that Hasbro need to maintenance the caractheres . If you see Duke from serie 80 and the new Duke - Squad Leader (Renegades) ~ G.I. Joe Action Figure you see that is the same person. Best wishes.
I was checking yojoe he luxe Low-Light 86 -89 VERSION I didn't know this version.
Yes, this figure is based on the original release of Low-Light from 1986. It definitely does an amazing job of capturing that character in a modern aesthetic.
