Repainted figures Hasbro got right?
Repainted figures Hasbro got right?
I was having a look through my collection and got to thinking about how many repaints there are. I didn't realize that some of my favourite figures are among the endless repaints. Here's a few I think Hasbro got right when they tried different colours. I'm not saying they are better than the original, just different and interesting. Any thoughts?

I think this thread will be a lot better if you post before and after pictures.

I know, I know, it's not Hasbro...

Re: Repainted figures Hasbro got right?
i do like tiger force and night force they were a good idea, night force outback is cool don't see many of them floating around, do you have any of the night force vehicles? Does anyone? I ask because i've never seen any.
CIA got you pushing to many pencils.

No I don't have any night Force vehicles. There is a Night Force APC troop Carrier isn't there?gung-hoeddie wrote:i do like tiger force and night force they were a good idea, night force outback is cool don't see many of them floating around, do you have any of the night force vehicles?

In fact, here's the link http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/89/nightscrambler/
Might be a cool idea to have every APC lined up next to each other, starting with the Z Force one! If only I had the cash!

Point taken. Here is a picture of the original of each of those figures:The Baron wrote:I think this thread will be a lot better if you post before and after pictures.

Tiger Force Pilot Skystriker is a combination of Wild Weasel and Thunder so I stuck both in.
I lifted these pictures from Yojoe.com If anyone objects to that I will go and take pictures from my own collection

Night Force was a US exclusive to Toys R Us, so the vehicles would be rarer over here.gung-hoeddie wrote:i do like tiger force and night force they were a good idea, night force outback is cool don't see many of them floating around, do you have any of the night force vehicles?

Have you got any Sundance? If so post a pic dear boy! Personally I love Sub teams. I get obsessed with getting the whole team. Which is weird as I am not usually a completist type collector.Sundance wrote:Night Force was a US exclusive to Toys R Us, so the vehicles would be rarer over here.gung-hoeddie wrote:i do like tiger force and night force they were a good idea, night force outback is cool don't see many of them floating around, do you have any of the night force vehicles?

Re: Repainted figures Hasbro got right?
i don't own any.
i'd never even heard of Night Force until i first ventured on yojoe.com, lo those many years ago.
nor, Slaughter's Marauders. or Python Patrol or the DEF.
