Two Unidentified Figures - Can You Help?

Post by MJ »

Hi All,

I recently rescued my childhood AF collection from the loft on the pretext of sorting them out for a space-clearing sale. I spent a few hours going through them, and with the help of this website (excellent resource, Steve & co.!) I've managed to identify almost everything. However, I've got a couple of items left over that I can't identify, and I'm hoping that some knowledgeable soul here will be able to help. Does anyone know what these two figures are:

1. A figure that looks exactly like the 1982 Arctic Assault trooper, with the white backpack and folding ladder, but with a completely white uniform instead of the usual white/grey/blue camo pattern. Not sure what weapon it should have (I've got a standard Arctic Trooper with a silver SA80 type weapon, and I'm sure I never had two of these guns. I've got a left over M60 and MP5 that might belong with it).

2. A Cobra trooper, possibly an officer, in a red uniform with silver markings. Has a red backpack and an assault rifle type weapon with a fixed bayonet.

I've also got a Cobra Bunker, which I couldn't find on the site. It's got all parts, both machine guns, launch ramp & 3-part missile (the fins of which are showing some stress marks), and the original blueprints. Is this an unusual piece?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi MJ

Cheers for the praise.

The White figure is the one supplied with AF9 Snowmobile, he would have had a white SA80 type weapon.

The Cobra guy could be The Escape Armour 'Driver'

It's good to be back

Aha!

Yes, the white figure is the Snowmobile driver. Not sure how I ended up with him, as I know that I never had the Snowmobile, and I haven't got the rest of his kit.

And the Cobra chap is the Crimson Guard (with the more common version of the backpack, according to yojoe.com)

Mystery solved. Many thanks for your help Steve and Meertoh.
