Blood for the Baron!

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...

to be honest, i think they are better!

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.

No I don't have any night Force vehicles. There is a Night Force APC troop Carrier isn't there?

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:

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

Actually, now I look at them both Wild weasel and Thunder are awesome. I still like Tiger Force though.... ho hum.

Night Force was a US exclusive to Toys R Us, so the vehicles would be rarer over here.

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.

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.
