The 1991 Incinerator is kind of weird looking. But, guys who carry flamethrowers should be weird. And, in the context of their specialty, the red and orange coloring makes sense. Basically, they are just about perfect for being a flamethrower. You just don't have a lot of need for a whole bunch of flamethrowing army builders. So, the Incinerator works in small numbers. I like using the figure from time to time. And, he does work well with many vehicles released in the 1990's. Here's a few of my recent photos of these guys.
One of my favorite 1991 Cobras
ReplyDeleteI like the figure just fine, but he's also a sign of his time.
ReplyDeleteThe head struck me as something so generically Cobra at that point. I'd think a high tech flame thrower might have visible breathing mask/air hose. This guy has a comic book/sci-fi villain face dome with ribbed frame and "Widow's peak" helmet. Take away the flame thrower and the colors and would the average non-fan have any idea what his specialty is? I doubt it.
That's why he has the flame thrower, and the colors lol
