Comic Packs were a mixed bag. They were full of pretty bad figures. But, there were also some pretty good ones. And, this Fred is one of the best. The head really captures the essence of the character. And, more importantly, the head was also compatible with some of the contemporary Cobras released and could be used on Crimson Guard heads to really recreate the concept of "Fred". These sets were heavily clearanced as they didn't sell well. So, it was cheap to get extras to use the heads for customs. That isn't so much the case today.
There's lots of great content out there on this figure. Many people have done cool things with it. So, check out the links below and enjoy!

This figure was awesome. Kudos Hasbro.
ReplyDeleteI loved the removable helmet. Swapped the head/helmet with the 87 body and looks awesome.
