damn, should've paid more attention to looking at the last years of the line archive or i could've said you were missing the eco-warriors and the battle copters...

[The Baron]

I still need the 1993 flyer, do you have it?

[Sundance]

wasn't that the one i scanned for you with the X-16 Ghost Striker and the Star Brigade vehicles on?

[The Baron]

I mean the full size one with figures.

[Sundance]

oh, right. no. not got that one. the only vehicles i got were from the 1987 and 1988 ranges...

I haven't gotten much feedback (i.e. none) on YoJoe on this yet, so thought I might post it here as well. (Even though it's only been 11 hours since I posted it )

Anyway, I got this cool Action Force AWE Striker yesterday. All the green parts, except the main body, is a cool army dark green. Were this version released in other countries besides Europe? I got it from a Danish childhood collection, and it has a few Action Force stickers + included AF blueprints. I read on YoJoe that it is a supposed variation. I have three other Action Force AWE Strikers, but they are all light green allover.

I've never seen that! Are you sure it's genuine? Not an amalgamation?

Do the dark green parts match any known AWE Striker release?

If so, I can't seem to find it. Then it should be the Estrela or Rubiplas. But the Rubiplas seems to be the wrong shade:

The plastic is also the same quality as the rest of the vehicle, so I highly doubt it. Also, I got it from a childhood collection, and everything included was in good shape and near complete (and nothing other non-European stuff was included), so I highly doubt they would have switched out parts. It even included the blueprints.

A dark green version is also noted under 'possible variations' on YoJoe, so that might be this?
