2005.
Convention figures, Oktober Guard as well as all TRU and DTC exclusives are not in.
Let everyone know which figure is your least favorite (and please explain why)!

This was a tough call, especially since that Hawk - Flint - Tunnel Rat comic set was easily the worst of the entire lot, and that bright blonde painted-face Duke was no prize either, but I finally went with Tunnel Rat, with that chinless, drunk-looking Flint being a close second. What the heck was up with Tunnel Rat's skin tone? It looked like the color had been decided based on a comic panel where he'd actually been crawling through a tunnel. It's called SHADING, people... :roll:

Funny, Tunnel Rat is one of the few I'd pass. I'd let Rock'n Roll and Flash slide, too, despite their quirks.

Breaker- Pinhead, longsleeve version. No comm gear.
Scarlett- After all the years of waiting for a ponytailed Scarlett V1, the results were a tiny headed, waxy skinned disappointed.
Flint- Must've been based on some Hasbro employee...
Hawk- Nice head, awkward use of 1992 Hawk arms on 1986 torso.
Snake-Eyes- Strangely gets a head bigger than his 1982 release. :-|
Short-Fuze- another small head, recasted parts and they look off. For some reason has 82 style legs unlike all the other comic pack 82 characters.
Duke- bad arms.
Roadblock- Bad pant color

Scarlett or Hawk...go with Scarlett just for being disappointing. Hawk's head is useable, but hers will probably look small on any ARAH body.

As with the Cobras, I like all the new heads, so I went with Flash. Pretty useless

Hate the skinny, swivel head Roadblock body

Also, you left off Stalker from CP #7

I have issues with many of the figures listed, but I ended up choosing Flash because it's really not useful as either Flash or in general (though it's not a terrible mold by any means).

That was a new head on Flash.

I meant to say "but" instead of "so"
Bad cut & paste from my Cobra post

Agent Scarlett, who suffered from the small-head-disease.

Flash. Just because he wore a space suit in the comic doesn't mean it'd make a good toy.
