1990 Metal Head - Around the Web

The 1990 Metal Head was one of the figures from the 1990's that I saw as a teenager.  A kid down the street had him and I thought he was awesome.  To this day, Metal Head's design and specialty are a great addition to Cobra.  You just don't see as much of him as you'd expect.  He's one of those lost gems from 1990 that straddles the line between the generation of kids who grew up around the G.I. Joe Movie and those who latched on in the neon years.  Here's the best of him from around the web.

    Great figure from an awesome year, but difficult to find complete without broken pegs. There is a Battle Corps Metal Head that is easier to find unbroken but nowhere near as cool.

      Yeah, I had both thin and thick peg versions, both broke and I was not being rough with them. The pegs on the thighs are just a bad design period.
