It's too bad the Greenshits set didn't include this guy.

Never an easy figure to find, this obscure version of the character can be a lot of fun.

1987 Tunnel Rat crawls out of a flooded cave.

Got tons of rain and I've got a bunch of rivulets running through the back yard. Made for a fun location for Tunnel Rat.

Did you know you're missing a few?

:)

Also love the Funskool Zartan. He's my fave because he matches the weirdness of the character from his first comic appearances.

Going through boxes that came in the mail all last year.

Picked up this Mexican Vagabundo… it’s kind of cool that they sold Footloose as Grunt down there who was his actual replacement in the figure line.

I really like the Auriken boxes. Anyone else have love for Mexican Joes?

Hopping in the WayBack machine for this commission! Finished Apollo & Boomer from the OG Battlestar Galactica show last night. I loved this show as a kid. I had fun getting the tans & browns for the uniform. Thanks for looking!

Imperial Armored Commando - snagged this guy for $11 at Wal Mart.  Can't believe Hasbro thought this guy was going to move at $32.

Been watching the unmoving case of these at my local Wal Mart for a few months. They fell to $11 each, today. At 67% off, I bought one.

He's neat. But, how did anyone EVER think this figure was going to sell at $32?!?

I'm still not sure what happened to the rifle that he was pictured with in the mail away catalog. It never appeared. And, even early test samples have him with the release weapon. I'm not sure the original is all that great. But, probably better than what he got.

A look back at the 1994 Joseph Colton:

forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2001/03/1994...

Ironically, the original figure meant to celebrate the line's history ended up being one of the final figures released.

Yet, somehow, both the Funskool and 2005 versions are worse.

1984 Scrap Iron who was born with glass bones and paper skin

1984 Scrap Iron who was born with glass bones and paper skin

GI Joe fans complain about Beachhead and Duke waists, Stalker hands, Zartan heels breaking, but this motherfucker is made of glass

For me, his arms and legs are always too tight and the center screw hole in his chest crumbles to dust when I look at it
