Tunnel Rat (2004 Desert Patrol Squad)

September 17, 2011 Rob B 4 comments

The venerable vintage Tunnel Rat mold has seen release numerous times since its debut in 1987. It’s been Night Force (twice), a Sonic Fighter, Tiger Force (in Europe), a comic pack, and has even had a Funskool repaint. In 2004, it showed up again in a desert themed Toys R Us exclusive multi-pack. Each figure in the set was adorned

Frostbite (1988 Tiger Force)

September 16, 2011 Rob B 9 comments

The Tiger Force sub-team not only featured repainted figures but also had its share of redecorated vehicles. Most of the vehicles didn’t include a driver, and those that did had their original replaced with a different figure. The repaint of the Snow Cat is an exception, as it came with Frostbite, its original driver. Some of the Tiger Force paint

Guile (1994 Heli-Fighter Pilot)

September 15, 2011 Rob B 2 comments

The Street Fighter spin off series of the 90’s produced not only figures based on Joe molds, but vehicles as well. This was a stretch to say the least. What possible reason would fighters like Chun-Li and Blanka have to drive a missile-firing off-road truck? One character that could justify piloting a military vehicle is Col. Guile, who has a

Steel Brigade Commander (2005)

September 14, 2011 Rob B One comment

The Steel Brigade has had a long history in Joe collecting. It’s been around since the vintage line, and continues as part of the modern line. Hasbro’s original concept of letting kids make up their own character was a hit with imaginative young collectors like me. Although the original version was a hodge podge of ’83 and ’84 parts, it

Sandstorm (2010)

September 13, 2011 Rob B 5 comments

Welcome to day two of Nice Pants Week, wherein I continue to work out my issues with some of the crazy drawers of our favorite little plastic men. Today we return to another thought-to-be-cancelled Target exclusive from the movie line. Sandstorm is the driver of the RAM cycle from the Rise of Cobra line. He’s an MP who guards vehicle

Elite Viper (2010)

September 12, 2011 Rob B One comment

I’ve said it before in other entries, and I think it’s time to focus on something I have an inexplicable fascination with when it comes to Joes. I call it Nice Pants Syndrome. In order to heal, one must first admit they have a problem. So this week, I’m focusing on it. Welcome to Nice Pants Week. Let’s kick it
