Look through 1993 and 1994 and you will find some terribly loud figures. Thankfully, either Hasbro or the Club has updated some figures with great colors (ie Shock Viper and Long Arm). Others, however, haven't shared the same fate. Here are my top 5 worst colored figures with great sculpting Eel v2, HEAT-Viper v2, Outback v3, Firefly v2, and Muskrat v3      Eco-Warriors and Star Brigade are equally loud, but I can overlook those figures because of their specialties. What do you think? |

Ugh. Again with that damn Eel? That's a terrible figure head to toe, and it's not due to the colors... It just sucks. |

I was thinking the same about Outback this morning while perusing Mike's Forgotten Figures. If anyone has painted these up in better colors I'd love to see them. The sculpting on some of the later figures was great, but they didn't paint the details which really hurts the look of the figures. |

Agreed on Leatherneck. scarviper has a great remedy, which is one reason he didn't make the list   Lance Sputnik wrote: Ugh. Again with that damn Eel?

It always bummed me out that Outback went from his cool bandana and t-shirt look to construction guy in a hard hat. |

Psyche Out version 2 http://www.yojoe.com/images/resize/w/MA ... /33205.jpg That is just a great sculpt with cool accessories lost in the baby blue. |

I really don't understand why that mold didn't get more play. It's a perfect neutral base for anything. Slap a different color and head on it, and I bet that you couldn't tell what it was at first glance. http://www.yojoe.com/action/94/nightcre ... der2.shtml I feel like somehow this guy could have gotten a better treatment. Going from orange camo to Vega knockoff was sort of a sad treatment for a decent martial arts based sculpt with a blindfold for some character. - R |

This thread is pointless without that yellow/pink SciFi, the most biggest fail of the whole line, imho. |

Yellow/pink? This one? It's the only yellow Sci-Fi I know, but I wouldn't call the rest pink. |

Oh, yeah, that's pink you're looking at, man. Even says so in the accessories description. Pink. On a GI Joe fig. |
