I've been working on something about the original 13 figures for a month or so. I'm about 80% done. But, that last 20% is turning into a slog. Hopefully, I'll work through it in the next week or two. Until then, I'm going with some random photos of the most elaborate original 13 figure: Flash. He features amazing colors, great accessories and a complex mold. He's the best designed of all the original figures and the most complete overall release. He looks great in photos and can be used in a variety of settings. So, check out some Flash pictures until I get some inspiration to work through an extended period of writer's block.

ReplyDeleteFlash is a tremendous figure, and we’re worse off not having a repaint or 4 of this figure.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the 1982 piece whenever it comes
The smooth upper arms show how far a simple paint app can go, but I'd always hoped for the comic pack Short Fuse treatment, where they went back to the '82 figure and completely recast it (sans head). For SF, that meant the pockets on the upper arms being restored to the sides instead of the front. It's a shame Hasbro never reused that mold for a correct Zap.
ReplyDeleteWow, I never knew that about comic pack Short Fuse! It'd be cool to see a swivel arm Flash with molded upper arm pads.
