Today's new profile is the 1989 TARGAT figure:

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

I prefer this guy from Star Brigade. He makes more sense there as he's the weakest of the 1989 Cobra class.

Today's new profile is the 1989 Slaughter's Marauders Spirit figure:

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

The earth tones work well for Spirit. But, those eyebrows!

Today's new profile is the 1986 Sears Dreadnok Ram:

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

As a kid, I commandeered this vehicle for my Joes. But, now, it's used by a key member of Python Patrol.

Today's new profile is the 1987 Road Toad:

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

It may not look like much, but the Road Toad is a great toy that was tons of fun when I was a kid.

This and the Coastal defender were on every convoy mission. A vehicle that interacted with your other vehicles while be towed by another vehicle. A wheel was getting blown off or an AWE was going in a ditch and needed to be pulled out every time.

The Coastal Defender was another great item that doesn't get its due. I, typically, just used it as a storage crate full of weapons, or other Joes. But, man, was it fun a versatile.

Today's new profile is the 2003 Overkill:

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

17 years later, this figure has some merit. But, at the time of his release, he was ridiculed and hated.

Today's new profile is the 2002 Convention Exclusive Crimson Viper:

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

This is really a nicely done figure since it uses the high quality 1998 paint masks. He was affordable for a while. But, has since gotten pricey again.

Today's new profile is the Funskool Stormshadow figure:

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

This figure doesn't stray for the original concept of this sculpt. In the days when it was cheap, that was a good thing. It's still a solid figure worthy of a collection, though.

Today's new profile is the 1992 Destro:

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

This figure was one of the first I bought at retail as an adult as I moved into collecting. It was a solid update of the Destro I grew up with.

Today's new profile is the 2005 Comic Pack Snake Eyes:

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

It was tough to breathe new life into the original Snake Eyes look. The new head from this pack did a passable job of it, though. And, he had a grappling hook!

I saw that head, got inspired, and came up with a Luchadore style Dreadnok Troubleshooter called 'Last Ride'.

The head also reminds me of the parachute helmet Snak-Eyes wore jumping out over Cobra Island in Marvel #132. Just need to mod up the rest to make the paratrooper helmet.

Nice. A modified '93 Beach Head head might work for a non-removable helmet Snake Eyes.

Today's new profile is the 1984 MANTA:

http://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/ ... manta.html

As a kid, I hated this thing. It fell apart when you looked at it. As a collector, though, I have more appreciation for it.

Today's new profile is the Brazilian exclusive Blowtorch named Tocha:

http://forgotten--figures.blogspot.com/ ... torch.html

At his core, this figure isn't all the different from the American release. But, those small, subtle differences make this like getting a new Blowtorch all over again.
