Today's new profile is of the 2003 Python Patrol Major Bludd figure:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com ... bludd.html

Collectors weren't real happy to have Major Bludd included in a set that was otherwise full of army builders. But, time has proven him to be a decent addition to the Cobra pantheon.

This week's new profile is of the 2002 Gift Set Undertow figure:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com ... ertow.html

At the time, Hasbro was trying to repaint every figure in red. This guy didn't get good gear nor paint application. But, he has his charms.

Today's new profile is of the 1986 Cross Country figure:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com ... untry.html

I've never been a fan of this guy. He was a huge disappointment when I was a kid and that continues to this day.

Today's new profile is of the 1987 Maggot:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com ... aggot.html

The Maggot was the last major Cobra vehicle I owned as a kid. But, even today, it's a staple of my Cobra army.

Today's Rarities post showcases the Funskool Calcium Sandoz premium figures. This bizarre set of Funskool repaints also include modified construction with new straight arm pieces. I have images of 9 of them and there are likely more out there.

It's too bad he was never available single carded with proper construction in that color scheme. And, these were made during the peak US import of Funskool years. So, it was possible for it to happen until Funskool sent the mold back. It's too bad those days are gone.

It takes something special to get cancelled twice. And, the 2nd wave of KB Manimals managed to pull it off. But, a few got out. So, today's Rarities post looks at the unproduced 2001 Vortex figure:

Today's new figure profile is of the 2017 Red Laser's Army "Muton" figure:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com ... igure.html

In general, I'm not a huge BAT fan. But, I am a fan of anything that fills the gaps of what would become Cobra and G.I. Joe between the years of 1978 and 1984. And, this figure fits neatly into that mythos.

Today's new profile is of the 1993 Ninja Force Banzai figure. I'm usually a defender of neon. But, sometimes, Hasbro just went too far.

Today's new profile is of the the 1992 Eco Warriors Deep Six figure:

Deep Six is a cool mold, but his colors leave a bit to be desired.
