Today's rarity is another look at the European Force Knock Off figures:
Forgotten Figures: Rarities - European Force Knock Offs - Redux They are not easy to find, appear to be low quality, but they are just weird.

Today's new profile is the obscure 1988 Lightfoot figure:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....lightfoot.html He's got lots of gear and bright colors. While the Night Force version is far superior, this yellow release still has its uses.

Today's new profile is the 1993 Col. Courage figure.
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....l-courage.html He's an obscure release whose mold has some unrealized potential.

Never quite understood how Lightfoot wasn't just named Tripwire and released as an update to that character. Of all the later-era figures him, Downtown (Short-Fuze?), and Clean Sweep (Why wasn't he an Airtight remake?) feel like they "should" have been remakes of old characters.
But I never quite got Hasbro's rationale over who was a new character vs a remake in those years. Might have boiled down to what names they felt they NEEDED to keep and what they WANTED to keep.

Today's profile is of the 1984 VAMP Mark II:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....p-mark-ii.html This desert repaint is a collector favorite, though I didn't really enjoy it as a kid.

Today's profile is the 2001 Shadow Viper figure:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....dow-viper.html Hasbro was so desperate to avoid anything 1990's at the time that they took a really good repaint and made him a magical pixie dust fairly who could avoid detection. Seriously. That's what's on the filecard. But, the figure is probably the best Astro Viper you can now buy.

Naturally, the Dr. Mindbender artwork released yesterday piqued my interest. Here's my take on it:
