This 2005 Firefly has no reason to exist. It occupies this weird space between the excellent 2004 Urban Strike Firefly and the even better 2005 Comic Pack Firefly. It's not better than either of those figures. And, with them in such close proximity of this Crimson figure's release window, the Toys R Us exclusive should be overlooked. But, surprisingly, I found a lot of good content on this figure out there. He looks great in photos and, did not the better paint jobs exist, he might have been the best Firefly ever released.
There's lots of fun content below. It ranges from articles written upon the figure's release: nearly two decades ago, to more recent uses. All this shows the figure's popularity remains strong.

It's mind-blowing that this figure is as old now as the '84 FF was when it came out.
ReplyDeleteI do like this figure, even if it is redundant. It truly was done to death at that time. I would have rather had any other figure, even a Frankensteined new character, than another Firefly in those CG sets.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion: This red camo version of Firefly was the most interesting colorway of the mold that came out in the 2000s era. It's not subtle, but it's darn cool.
