Funskool Desert Scorpion - Around the Web

In February of 2001, the collecting community awoke to find a source of a cheap Funskool figures had been opened at the hobby's largest site.  Being on the West Coast, I was late to the party and many of the most popular figures (Stormshadow, Night Viper) were already sold out.  At the time, 1990's Joes were not very popular.  So, the brand new Desert Scorpions were still there.  I picked up a couple of them and quickly found a weird gem that was both awesome in its "Funskool-ness" but also fun because of the mold's obscurity.  18 years later, the figure still resonates with me.  The Funskool Desert Scorpion has gotten a lot hard to find these days.  But, if you can find them cheap enough, they are a fun addition to any collection.  There's not much on the figure out there.  But, here's what I could find of the Funskool Desert Scorpion around the web.
