This week's profile is the 1984 Deep Six figure:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com ... p-six.html

I hated him as a kid...to the point that I didn't consider him an actual figure. As a collector, not much has changed.

This week's profile is of the 1993 Dr. Mindbender figure:

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

I want to like this sculpt and claim it's just bad colors that does it in. But, that's not really the case and this isn't a great update of the Mindbender character.

I removed the stache and reused the head in a version of Inferno fro the Extreme line

Today's profile is of the 1986 Monkeywrench figure:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/2018/02/1986-monkeywrench.html

I didn't destroy too many figures when I was a kid. But, Monkeywrench was a memorable demise.

Today's new profile is of the Street Fighter Movie M Bison figure from the Shadowloo Headquarters playset.

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

This is a pretty decent repaint of a bulky, late in the line figure. He's a lot more common than you'd think, too.

Today's new profile is of the Black Major custom Cobra Soldado figure:

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

This was one of my most anticipated Cobra Trooper repaints and has quickly become one my favorite army builders in my collection.

Today's profile is of the 1992 Big Bear figure:

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

A solid mold, good colors and cool accessories make him a fun figure to own. Even if he's not all that popular.

Today's new profile is of the 1993 Flak Viper figure:

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

He's not a figure for everyone. But, he's certainly among the more interesting of the neon Cobra army builders.

Today's new profile is of the 1989 Darklon figure:

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

He's an odd duck in the Joe world. Which is really saying something.

It was not my favorite toy as a kid. But, now, I've grown to appreciate the vehicle.

Today's new profile is the 2004 Urban Strike Firefly figure:

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

Fans were kind of sick of Firefly when this guy was released. But, the figure is really good. Time has softened all the Firefly releases and this guy still stands tall as one of the best versions of Firefly out there.

Today's new profile is of the 1988 Star Viper:

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

He's not a great figure. Or, really, even a good figure. He's kind of there. If Cobra had a space shuttle of some kind, he's be a lot more useful.

Today's new profile is the 1993 Ninja Force Slice figure:

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

I thought Slice looked awesome when he was introduced in the comics. But, it's taken me 25 years to come around on his figure. This orange gem is a different look for the character and is a classic 1990's repaint to boot!

Today is also a dual post in conjunction with The Dragon Fortress where he is reviewing Dice.

Today's new profile is of the 1987 Red Dog figure:

https://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com ... d-dog.html

As a kid, I never really liked this figure. But, the 2001 Funskool release showed me the mold's potential. Now, he's kind of fun to have around.

Today's new profile is of the 1991 Rice Krispies mail away Lifeline figure:

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

As an oddity, this figure is a bit interesting. But, he's definitely a step down from the 1986 version of the character.
