Blood for the Baron!

The Battle Corps MudBuster box has box art and english and japanese writing on it I bought off Empire Island UK. I can't say where they got it from.

Here is the box art:-

i actually find Spirit to be racist.

he's an American Indian (Native American, whatever) and what job do they give him?

Tracker.

WOW! now THERE's a racial stereotype for you!

now, why not have a Japanese dude who dresses like a samurai or an Asian guy who's a martial arts master?

or better still have a British guy who's called Big Ben!


oh... wait... they already did that...

It was a different time, they were trying to be authentic. It worked too, at least to kids.

I have to chuckle whenever I read the Blades datafile and his love of 'American' apple pie.

If you look at most of the promotional Hasbro released Action Force stuff you see that all the stickers are wrong and often they pictures feature figures that aren't released in that year/range. I've always assumed it was just because they didn't rejig the photos from the American release.

It's not as bad as the black UK Gladiators getting names like Shadow and Panther or Marvel US' use of black in a name like Black Panther and Black Goliath.

It's the Chinese release of the Mudbuster.

That's why I don't recognise it as japanese of course.
