1990 introduced new subsets to the Joe line. The Sonic Fighters were a higher priced, premium figure. The selling point was a huge backpack that made a bunch of primitive electronic sounds. For 1990, the tech was fine. Now, it seems painfully dated. The figures also included extra weapons...most of which made no real sense with the figures. But, the figures themselves were repaints of earlier molds. And, all of them were solid designs. You can argue that Law is the best of the set. But, there's a couple of other figures who also have a legit claim to the crown.
The upside is that there's some decent content featuring the 1990 Law out there. Check out the content below and enjoy seeing this Law in action.

I LOVE this version of Law! Give him his '87 accessories and you are golden.
ReplyDeleteI remember as a kid picking out the '87 Law & Order at our local Long's Drug. He was hilarious in the movie ("He finds the bombs, I drive the car. We tried it the other way, but it didn't work."), plus he came with a German Shepard and a cool uzi. A pretty fantastic figure all around, but his colors were a bit loud. Bright red and blue on the same Joe is kind of nuts. That should be a Cobra thing. Other '87 Joes like Fast Draw had the same problem.
But Sonic Fighter Law fixes that. The muted greens and khaki are just fantastic. He's worth getting incomplete and in multiples.
