Cobra Commander (masked), Officer, Driver, Soldier, Storm Shadow, maybe even Firefly, all had droopy eyes compared to their artwork.

Covergirl. Great uniform and coloring, but the head was way wrong.

Oh, and another figure with great card art and a figure that looks like it should have been included with a McHappy Meal- Leatherneck!! Sorry guys, I know this figure has his supporters, but the facial sculpt never lived up to the potential for me. |

With that goofy smirk and poorly sculpted beret, he just looked terrible when compared to the much better looking (and similiarly attired) Falcon. |

I remember seeing the Tomahawk in the catalog that year and noticing that Lift-Ticket couldn't be seen which just made me want to see what he looked like even more. Eventually my cousin says he saw the Tomahawk in a store and that LT looked "awesome." I was quite disappointed when I finally saw him myself, but the Tomahawk was still a great vehicle to pack a bunch of Joes in. |
