Okay, but just for a minute. Take Big Boa, since he's been in the last few posts. How can you really consider him to be underrated when he really had next to no potential in the first place? He is the orphan of a planned Rocky tie in that went kaput. How would you use him? What purpose does he have on a battlefield? How would you even use him in a comic book? He brings less than a knife to a gunfight, just boxing gloves. He's just about as useful as the Fridge.
Here's the only scenario where he would play even a little significance in a plot: He's hanging out at Cobra HQ waiting to train or box some cobra troopers when suddenly Joes attack! He runs from the gym toward the point of attack, looking to kick some Joe behind and is shot dead from 50 meters by, oh, I don't know, any nameless Joe with a rifle. The end.
You see my point? I'm really not trying to be a tool, just a bit of a realist. It's really no wonder that many of the figures mentioned are old school peg warmers from the times when darn near everything sold. Just look at the figures, their equipment and their MOS. That's why many of them were made only once and never had any real significance in the Joe continuum.
That's all I'm trying to say.
