1990 Rapid Fire - Around The Web

Rapid Fire is a weird figure.  He's just a straight repaint of the 1988 mail away Super Trooper.  Which, in itself, was just an amalgamation of existing parts that were cobbled together.  Really, Rapid Fire was a means to sell a VHS tape with a cartoon on it.  I've never seen what's actually on the tape.  But, I have it.  It's the figure, though, that's interesting.  The orange, blue and pastel green work for a ridiculous figure.  But, there are settings where the figure works.  And, he's worth owning for that reason.  Here's the best content I could find on Rapid Fire:

    There's something fun about this guy. In these colors he looks like he could be an Eco Warriors enforcement trooper.

    I like this figure - he's quintessential early 90s. I have him as the driver for my Brawler tank (an underrated vehicle that I wish they released in more muted colors).
