Today's new post is the Action Force Z-Cycle:

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

This European exclusive RAM is a nice combo of colors that helps set it apart from the blander US release.

Today's new post is the Funskool Ripper:

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

Ripper isn't a great character. His figure, though, is well done. The Funskool version has vibrant colors and remains relatively cheap.

Today's new profile is of the 1993 Street Fighter Vega figure:

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

I skipped these figures in the '90's. They are some decent sculpts and colors among the figures and Vega can work with other Joe figures, too.

Today's new profile is the 1982 VAMP:

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

This iconic vehicle set the stage for the Joe line as it was a high quality, fun and inexpensive toy. It is a staple among collections and is one of the keystone pieces of the line.

Today's new profile is the 1983 Wild Bill:

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

While I'm not crazy about this figure, I wrote a lot about him and the memories associated with his time in my collection.

Today's new profile looks at Marvel Comics issue #27:

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

This was the first Joe comic I ever purchased and started me down a path that continued until the comic's cancellation.

Today we look at the 1985 Armadillo:

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

This little vehicle was a lot of fun when I was a kid. The smaller items really helped to expand the Joe line and give more options for gifts.

Today's new post is the 1986 BAT:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com ... 6-bat.html

I do not like Bats. I didn't like them 1986 and I don't really care for them now. I am weird in this opinion, though, as BATS are oddly beloved by most collectors.

Today's new profile is the 1987 Mercer:

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

I have no connection to the G.I. Joe movie. I've never seen it. But, when I was a kid, I liked the Mercer figure. And, he's held up pretty well, even as a perfect example of 1987 styling.

Today's new profile is the 1988 Tiger Force Lifeline:

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

This guy was a nice alternative to the 1986 original. It gave me a more combat themed medic to support my Joe teams.

Today's new profile is the 1989 Rock and Roll:

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

This figure is just about the perfect update to a classic character. I was out of Joes when he was released. But, I knew about him and really wanted the figure for many years.

Today's new profile is the 1990 Bullhorn:

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

This guy was a hidden gem for a while. Then, he got pretty popular. Now, he's kind of middle of the road. He's a great figure, though, with amazing accessories.

Today's new profile is the 1993 Keel Haul:

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

A straight repaint of a 1985 mold was pretty rare in the '90's. But, this figure offered a chance for many to get their only figure for Keel Haul.

Today's quick write up is about the 1994 Flint:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com ... f-day.html

This figure is a worthy version of Joe's best character. (I'm biased!) I bought two of them at retail and still enjoy getting the figure out for photos.

Today's new profile is the Funskool Spearhead:

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

This figure is based on the Night Force figure and creates a much cheaper alternative for a darker and more useful Spearhead figure.
