Dogfight isn't a figure that you see all that often. But, he's one that has a lot of character and some cool design elements going for him. I still think he started his life as an update to Wild Bill. But, for some reason, he was repurposed to a new character. Hasbro had the mold in the 2000's and it would have been to have gotten a new Dogfight figure. But, that didn't happen and all we have is this original version from 1989. There's not a ton of content on him out there. But, you kind of expect that considering the obscure nature of the character. Here's the best 1989 Dogfight content I could find around the web.

The only Impel cards with his image have the name "WildBill"...
ReplyDeleteI had Dogfight and his plane as a kid. I was a bit lukewarm on both of them. Dogfight had a bit of a 90s cartoon villain vibe to me back then, like he would be some sort of corporate henchman or mercenary in Captain Planet or something.
ReplyDeleteNow I think he's really cool, though. Hasbro captured a unique and fun look-- he still looks like a military pilot, but he also looks like a guy who wouldn't last a day under real military regulations. So, basically, a perfect candidate for GI Joe.
