The Power Commandos have become one of the more recognized series of G.I. Joe knock-off toys. This is, entirely, a function of them becoming relatively available in the last 10 years. Since they're kind of weird and have cool gear, it makes sense that they would have been accepted by collectors.
X Ray Eye isn't one of the more recognizable Power Commandos. But, he's in line with the aesthetic of the line. And, he makes for an interesting side villain to accompany your Cobras. The figure is fun to have around and can be very useful in the right setting.
With the newfound popularity of the figures, you can actually find some content out there that showcases them. So, take some time to stop by each link and see how others have used X Ray Eye.

I assume this post was prompted by the recent news of the upcoming C.H.A.O.S. o-ring Kickstarter from Whiskeyjack Toys, which will have a few figures obviously inspired by Power Commandos - including guys named X-Ray and Mummy Mask?
ReplyDeleteIt was more just because it's Halloween season. But, I did see those guys. I do like what they're doing with that line. Not sure I'll get any. But, it's cool to see some of these things get updates. I am glad they went with the more obscure dark blue coloring for Mummy Mask, too.
