1986 Mission to Brazil Leatherneck - Around The Web

The Mission to Brazil set is a mixed bag.  Dialtone and Mainframe feature some weird colors.  Claymore is OK, but still looks like a cartoon giraffe.  Then, you have Wet Suit and Leatherneck.  Both figures have a case of being better than their original releases.  G.I. Joe didn't get too many environmentally themed repaints in the vintage line and this Mission to Brazil Leatherneck shows that might have been a bad thing.  The colors work well with the mold.  All that's missing is a backpack in a better color.  (That would be solved in 1989.)  Here's the best of the Mission to Brazil Leatherneck from around the web.

  1. I thought I was the only one who preferred this repaint to the original. Although I also prefer the Mission to Brazil Dial Tone and Mainframe. Maybe I'm weird?
