We know TARGAT's mold wasn't and they got it back for Coil Trooper. And for some reason Ferrets were now Black Dragon Troopers. <br /><br />That leaves Nullifier, maybe a Nullifier V1 repaint could've been neat. It's an odd figure, though.

Yes, they aren't too expensive, but someone always wants it more...probably to add to the rows they have on a shelf somewhere.<br /><br />A-Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-3994206916892618562019-05-27T11:44:18.662-07:002019-05-27T11:44:18.662-07:00Pathfinder was nice with original accessories with...Pathfinder was nice with original accessories with the V.A.M.P. set, but that one with the A.W.E. Striker was in no way any competition for the 1990 Pathfinder. <br /><br />The second-release-with-neon (or simply brighter colors) figures are figures I avoided if there were originally figures with colors more favorable to me.<br /><br />Desert Patrol fits in my mind in the span of multi-packs that could have been so much more and then that period of retail (and online) makes me think of the "newsculpt" vs "oring" division.<br /><br /><br />Iron Anvil is a fine recolor but I just didn't feel like they fit with the Iron Grenadiers as well as a repainted Annihilator could have. Or even a repainted T.A.R.G.A.T.. There was no characterization to this figure that grabbed me and the "Jinx" pack and parachute felt... cheap. It seemed like Destro's little army got way more generic and larger than the origins of an army of handpicked bodyguards that were "DESTRO'S ELITE TROOPERS" originally.<br />I would have preferred to have the Iron Anvil figure repainted as a more traditional Cobra Vipers as originally released. icebreakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12213532187419068294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-13471194570790564822019-05-27T10:05:59.479-07:002019-05-27T10:05:59.479-07:00The Iron Anvils are a real surprise, but in a way,...The Iron Anvils are a real surprise, but in a way, it makes sense. Overall, the community seems much more forgiving and even interested in neon 90's figures nowadays. That being the case, it erodes a lot of the Anvil's appeal, with their only real purpose being an alternate color scheme for the Battle Corps Viper.<br /><br />Also, no one reads anything on my site besides posts about factory customs.Nekomanhttp://viperpit.xyz/noreply@blogger.com
