The 1989 Long Range figure isn't one you see all that frequently. He's fairly odd, poorly colored and not a figure that collectors have really taken to. But, that oddity kind of makes the figure fun. Plus, he's got a cool little pistol that can be tough to find. There isn't really a tone of content on him out there. But, here's the best of Long Range from around the web.

I wouldn't call him poorly colored myself. he's a bit bland, actually, as at least he doesn't have orange clothing. Yeah, an odd uniforms, mainly the boots...dude must like Napoleonic times. The one-eyed covered by a range finder/something was already a cliche at this point. Also, not sure GI JOE needed so many red beards; Frostbite had just went red, too, with Tiger Force.
ReplyDeleteLove that preproduction figure. Would be a fun custom.
