Weird how all those cheapo Funskool now go for crazy money on the secondary market. I sold a lot of extras maybe 5 years ago after going crazy buying then for $4 when they initially came out. But prices have exploded in the past couple years now.Jonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541165771226153424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-12749695000159761292021-05-14T00:58:39.189-07:002021-05-14T00:58:39.189-07:00Budo is such a weird figure, in that I always comp...Budo is such a weird figure, in that I always completely forget he exists until I see him. I sort of like the idea of using him as a grunt more than an individual character, I remember that being such a fascinating and new concept to me back when my brother first showed me your profiles in the 2000's.<br /><br />If I stay bored enough this year I might go for a Funskool Budo if I find one cheap. TBM Worms should hold me over for a while, though.Nekomanhttp://viperpit.xyz/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730351558727980814.post-18110525864445660052021-05-11T13:33:35.876-07:002021-05-11T13:33:35.876-07:00I didn't like Budo's helmet, but I usually...I didn't like Budo's helmet, but I usually set that aside and had a figure I liked.<br /><br />I got him in the summer of 1988, which was pretty late in my "playing days". I crafted some plot where he had a younger sister who was trapped in occupied Cobra territory, so he went outside the regular channels to sneak in and break her out. In my lil' "JoeVerse" in the summer of 1988, Cobra had taken over Russia and the Joes were forbidden from (overtly) interfering.Chuck X Gorenhttp://www.option38.comnoreply@blogger.com
