GI Joe Modern Era Wave 12 Python Patrol Crimson Guard

[BrettX209]

I couldn't get excited about Python Patrol (or any of the repaint teams) as a kid, and it seems I can't get terribly excited about them now.

this figure REALLY illustrates the different strokes for different folks principle in action...

i am one of the ones that cannot stand the look of this figure and ask myself, "could they make it ANY worse looking if they tried!?!"

but, the things that repulse me attract another...it truelly is a universe of unlimited tastes and opinions...

[foor]

I remember I could never get my hands on an original CG. And I was happy to get the PP CG as a kind of substitute. Now though, I got an army of 25th regular CGs, so I don't see myself getting more than one of these guys purely for nostalgia.

that's the thing about PP and Tiger Force ~ i was more into Transformers in 84 and 85, and only had a few Joes from those years, so i remember getting pretty into JOe for about 86-88 so PP and TF were my first versions of a lot of those characters, so even though i will freely admit PPCG is pretty damn garish, i do have a soft spot for him

(in retrospect, i don't know why they didn't make the figures match the PP vehicles better like they did with the "new sculpt era" PP repaints ~ would have both looked cooler and made more sense...)

I'm glad to hear nearly everyone ignores the PP, it'll make troop building much more possible for me. I'm on my way to 20 officers so one day i'll have one of those boffo dioramas to boast about.

These repaints kind of remind me of crappy Austin Powers/007 henchman, which I happen to like very much.

Looks cool. I will only get one of each PP figures when I see them on retail.
