The Zeros - Mark II

There's over 800 profiles on the site.  Some are a lot more popular than others.  So, if you're stuck inside over the holiday due to the heat, here's some of the least popular posts on the site.  Give them a little love.

The Unexplained:

These figures should be relatively popular as they are collector favorites.  But, they don't see much attention.

1984 Recondo

1986 Mainframe

1983 Torpedo

1992 DEF Shockwave

1986 Wet Suit

Obscure Releases:

These are often convention figures or figures that have odd names that are hard to search.  You also see lots of modern takes on classic army builders in here.

2004 Crimson Guard

1988 Ghostrider

2008 Headhunter Guard

Brazilian Tiro Certo

2004 Urban Assault Night Creeper

2003 Tele Viper

2004 Night Force Tunnel Rat

2004 Cobra Squad Leader

Boring Figures:

These are figures that just aren't popular or they are the left behind construction of the New Sculpt era.

1989 Countdown

1990 Sky Patro Sky Dive

2003 Blackout

Eco Warriors Clean Sweep

1991 Grunt

1987 Gyro Viper

1991 General Hawk


1984 Recondo, Steel Brigade Mail Away

  1. Nice links. Recently discovered this blog, so it's fun to be directed to a few things. I'm in the throes of O-ring mania, going back to the vintage look and filling in collection holes, so these are all right up my alley now.

    1. Buzz Lightyear theme deco of 1991 Hawk? Somehow, a variant that Hasbro never tried back in the 2000's, even if it sounds weird. Even more so if they decided to add in some Glow In The Dark Green to it. Granted, no idea if Hasbro had access to the 1991 Hawk mold back in the 2000's, but still.

      I will even say that maybe if the approx 4" G.I. Joe line didn't cancel back in 1994, and after the 1st Toy Story did well when it came out around Fall/Christmas time 1995, maybe Hasbro would of consider repainting this 1991 Hawk in Buzz Lightyear inspired colours, as a way to piggy back on Buzz being popular, assuming the line would of continued in 1996.

    2. Forgot to add, that if Hasbro had ever did a Buzz Lightyear theme deco of 1991 Hawk, I'm sure my youngest brother, who was really into Toy Story, would of strongly consider getting it, just for the Buzz Lightyear homage.

      Bloody hell, add in that pathetic T-Rex from the Dino Hunters line to use as Rex, and do a Version 1 Wild Bill figure in a Woody theme deco, put the 3 in a 3 Pack, and you'd get a Toy Story inspired Set. Yeah, it most likely wouldn't sell, but sadly, I could see Hasbro doing something very cheap like that if they felt desperate.
