Its time to take a look at the former D.E.F. leader, Bullet-Proof.

Three Dog Night said it… "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do".
I really do admire this 2018 Bullet-Proof (v3) action figure, but it also makes me a little sad to think of the opportunity that was lost here for a killer Convention Boxed Set featuring the D.E.F. (Drug Elimination Force) from 1992 as they battled Headman and his gang of drug thugs! Fun Publications would have done a fine job creating this set, but was contractually forbidden from doing so by Hasbro. Pictured here is the D.E.F. (Drug Elimination Force) boxed set which never was…

This is all they would have in that set then right?

Maybe you’re right, but we could hope to do better than that.
If I were allowed by Hasbro to have it my way, the Drug Elimination Force versus Evil Headhunters 15 figure boxed set would include the Bullet-Proof figure we just received with FSS 8, but also: Cutter (1993 colors) Law (1993 Battle Corps) Long Arm (not sure which parts) Mace (1993 Battle Corps) Mutt & Junkyard (use the 1993 version that was intended release for D.E.F.) Shockblast (the 1992 D.E.F. Shockwave) Headhunters (x3) Headhunter Stormtroopers (x3) Gristle (new headsculpt?) Headman (headsculpt of Dojo) Even the souvenirs at the convention site could have been great fun, such as for the attendee gift, the Headhunter Twin Battle Gun. The figure 2 pack should have been Asa Negra and Brutus (both of the Brazilian Headhunters characters) For a vehicle with figure, imagine a Headhunters A.P.V. (using a repainted Steel Crusher from ROC) with a Headhunter’s Driver figure.

Am I the only person who hates that torso? It makes everyone with it look skinny and constantly hunched over. And the sculpted details look nothing like Bulletproof’s original shirt. He would have look much better with something like 50th Flint’s torso. I love everything else about this figure (even the reused Dodger head with permanent helmet is fine), except the torso. This figure ended up being pretty good in my opinion, but could have been absolutely perfect. And the club doesn’t get the chance to be perfect very often.

As much as I do like the figure I have to agree that I do dislike the hunched over look. It makes it a little bit difficult to pose.

I imagine that this cloisonné pin would have been used as the first day pin for those who registered for the D.E.F. themed convention, but it never was, and thus, neither was this pin.
If you look carefully at the photo, it is only a 2018 Slaughter’s Marauders pin convention pin, with a Toy Hax / Cobra Stickers D.E.F. emblem sticker placed over it, just to simulate what the pin probably would have looked like.
