Especially the lavender/purple Missle Assault set....
Arctic and Ground assault suited the
mini figures better. Saying that its always bugged me how SHITE Naval Assault was, especially his equipment: grappling hook WITHOUT sodding rope, a machete, ammo box and sten gun.....Its like the factory simply shoved crap into the packet....The 40th repro stuffs hit and miss. There have been typos on the packaging, i.e. the last wave 14 Stormtrooper packet is named 'STORMTROOTER'.....durrrrrrrrrrrrrr. There have also been wrongly packaged dolls i.e. the wrong era types, flocked hair coming off, cracked limbs, broken joints, hands that melt weaponry due to the rubber composites used in the manufacturing process, the talkers are pure c--ting crap, the voices are muffled, the eagle eye talker doesn't say the correct 5 phrases instead they've reused the older talkers commands....then theres the pull cord on the talkers being prone to breaking off.....or not winding back in....
Lastly, the eagle eye dolls are too sodding bug eyed and their hands are practically like rock and not flexible.....
Alan Hall at Modellers Loft for all the good he's done by making the repro range under licence from Hasbro really has done a crap job. The waves and quality of items is so varying. Compared to the Palitoy originals they lack the same quality and are on the whole flimsier....The prices were good on Halls stuff but the quality overall was sh*t in my view....and Alan Halls a really arrogant c*nt....
Well, I am a collector of the stuff and as much as I like it its not a patch on the originals....ALL HAIL PALITOY COALVILLE LEICS!
