The 1984 Spirit is a classic figure. He has a major issue, though, in that the light blue shirt and sleeves tend to discolor very badly. Even properly stored figures are starting to go. And, as the color fades and yellows, it ruins the aesthetic of a great toy. For some reason, though, the blue plastic used on the Brazilian release of Spirit (Olhos de Fenix) does not fade. And, it is a brighter, more brilliant blue than even the Hasbro figure had in 1984.
This creates a great version of Spirit. And, there's actually a good amount of content featuring the figure. The upside is that you can still get quality Olhos de Fenix figures with relative ease. The downside is that you'll now pay triple digits for the privilege. But, if you love the Spirit character and are tired of faded blues, this might be the way to go.
