Two Unidentified Figures - Can You Help?
Posted: 19 Sep 2003 21:11
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.
