Do you ever accidentally learn something about yourself? For instance, I've always liked the 1993 Outback figure. He was part of my college era collection and was always a figure I found rather interesting. Turns out, though, that I like this figure quite a bit. I discovered that when I looked at how many different times I've taken him out for a photo shoot. I use him way more often than the 1987 Outback. And, he's even slightly ahead of the Tiger Force Outback.
I suspect it's the combination of vivid colors and his unique look. There aren't too many hardhat wearing figures in the line. So, it's a quirky fashion choice that makes the figure stand out even more than his orange suspenders do. But, I also just like the total package that the figure offers. I've always used him as a combat engineer rather than Outback the survivalist. And, I often use as vehicular support. But, the series of photos below, ranging back over the past 4 years, also feature him in his natural element.
I had to dig deep to find some of this content. Outback is a popular photo choice. But, it's always his 1987 or Tiger Force version that takes the spotlight. But, the 1993 is easier to find than any photos of the 1988 Night Force version. So, take some time and scroll through the pics to check out a figure who doesn't have any right to be as enjoyable as I, apparently, find him.
