This week is a bit different. While the basis for the figure is an unproduced comic pack head, the actual profile is about a lazy bastard custom:

2004 Unproduced Comic Pack Hawk - Custom Figure Skeres

This week I look at the 1985 Parachute Pack Mailaway:

A neat little toy, though it has some limitations.

This week I look at the 1993 Bazooka figure:

The coloring is a bit over the top. But, when viewed as an extension of the Adventure Team idea, the figure can have it's uses.

This week's profile is of the 1994 Shadow Ninja Snake Eyes figure:

The different construction lessens the figure, but the design is kind of fun and would be a great Snake Eyes if it was standard design.

Bushido is my favorite Shadow Ninja, yes I have a favorite Shadow Ninja. I just wish his coloring was opposite. The down side is that the "snow ninja" turns blue in the snow and white in the heat.

You are likely the only collector out there with a favorite Shadow Ninja.

I was surprised at how white the figure turned. The milky color almost makes the figure worth owning. Almost.

It would be interesting if there was a way to keep the figures white permanently.

This week's profile is the 1983 Hiss Driver:

He's not my favorite early Cobra. But, the figures has grown on me over the years.

This week's profile is of the 1984 Battle Gear #2 pack. Getting accessory sets was a great idea and a way to keep your figures fun when you lost their original gear. Buy, why, oh why did they choose the colors they did for the sets?!?

This week's profile is the 2005 Cobra Imperial Guard:

Good idea, bad execution.

This week, I take a look at the Street Fighter Movie Edition Dhalsim figure:

The guy wears kid's skulls around his neck and a lab coat. He's as over the top as any Cobra villain.

I know I said it earlier, but I really enjoy your "Forgotten Figure" posts. Your write-ups from years ago were a big inspiration to my collection. The way you integrated the figures into your "universe" has always sucked me in. Thanks!

Thanks!
