G.I. Joe Scoop 1989 Pre-owned Figure

Scoop – The journalist on the front lines of G.I. Joe

Introduced in 1989, Scoop (real name Stanley R. Hopkinson) stands apart from the typical G.I. Joe operative. As a war correspondent and investigative journalist, his mission isn’t combat — it’s truth.

Scoop follows G.I. Joe operations to document Cobra’s crimes, expose conspiracies, and report what others cannot. Armed with cameras and recording equipment rather than heavy weapons, he represents the civilian eye inside a military world.

In Marvel’s G.I. Joe comics, Scoop plays a pivotal and tragic role, particularly during his undercover infiltration of Cobra. His storyline adds emotional weight and moral complexity to the franchise, highlighting the cost of truth in wartime.

Scoop embodies the late-80s awareness of media responsibility and journalistic courage, making him one of the most mature and thought-provoking characters in the G.I. Joe universe.
