Hello!
First some background. I was a UK Action Force (pre Baron Ironblood!) collector as a child that swapped over to GI Joe as the AF line became more and more merged with Joe. (I stopped collecting around my teenage years which was IIRC Mega Marine Gung Ho and Cyber Vipers were my last figures.) I bought a great book on Vintage Joe collecting "The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994: Identification and Price Guide, 2nd Edition" I was just reading it earlier and saw an interesting thing - One of the weapons put under Red Star (v1) - a missle firing rocket - I own. I recognise it. I had it as a child. Trouble is, I never owned Red Star! Who did I get this weapon with? I have looked through some of the archives and I cannot ID the weapon with anyone else... It's probably obvious to you guys - but I just can't remember! Can you help? UKS |

LOL - I have just found out that there were some European Accessory exclusives! It seems I had Low Light, Dusty, Desert Scorpion and General Hawk.
Forgotten Figures: Rarities - European Exclusive Firing Weapons Figures Seems like I had a nose for all those EU exclusives as a boy. I also have most the Tiger Force (Outback, Blizzard, Hit and Run, Sneak Peek) and the original repaints (Red Laser, Red Jackel) Feel free to lock! |

Edit: In too late.
Some 1990-1991 GI JOE releases (well, in the USA) were reissued in Europe with spring action launchers in place of some of their original accessories. Some were unique colors others were straight up the same missle firing weapons as other figures. I can't recall which one also got Red Star's launcher. I want to say it was Dusty V3. |
