I really enjoy the 1993 Frostbite figure. The mold is solid and the colors are great in the snow. He's got a decent weapons tree. And, he has a cool snow mask that can be used to both anonymize the figure or make him incredibly unique. There's some decent content featuring the figure out there. So, check some out now that the winter is, hopefully, winding down.

Really like this mold but that mask is terrifying. Looks like an owl or a Cyberman from far enough away
ReplyDeleteHe's apparently part of the Court of Owls!
DeleteI have fond memories of the figure as a kid. My little brother acquired him either for Christmas or his birthday and I used the figure in many an adventure. I always loved the artic figures and 93 Iceberg and 93 Frostbite teamed up frequently in my joe-verse. I always liked this figure - he's a great example of how good the Battle Corps figures could be - great mold and figure design. The weapons and mask also work well with him.
ReplyDeleteI have had intentions of re-acquiring 1993 Frostbite for awhile now. He's probably one of the ten or so figures I still want to add to my collection but I always seem to be in one of my collecting breaks when he crosses my mind. I have the 1997 version but find the original 93 version to be superior in every way.
Just curious - Is Joedios down for everyone else? I clicked on the two links above and have also tried to access it at other times over the past few months only to see broken thumbnails and nothing loading. Now I get a "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." error. It would be sad if Joedios ends up fading away.
Same here, just checked. "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."
DeleteI would love to save Mike T's writings as I have long enjoyed reading them in case this site vanishes one day.
Pretty good mold they could've used for arctic verisons of other Joes...it's not overloaded and generic enough, well, grenades aside. (They were so grenade happy). But it didn't appear again after 1997.
ReplyDeleteInstead we got ICE MAN mirage and the umpteenth Snow Job V1 as Frostbite.
Serial Killer Frostbite...
