Hey guys!
Is there an up to date Modern vs Vintage list so I can see which modern figures were made of their vintage counterparts and which ones are sufficiently passable as the vintage replacement (Strato Viper vs. Air Viper Commando V2) Thanks! |

Yojoe is probably your best bet, but I know they sometimes take a while to get new figures up

Yo Joe is a HUGE help with anything that's official and yes they need to update with the last 2 FSS figures.
I'm looking for viable replacements also. Like I mentioned above Strato Viper / Air Commando Viper v2. I also use Nitro Viper as Motor Viper. Who else does everyone use as their not-made-yet-vintage replacements? Last edited by browndinner; 02-18-2019 at 12:18 PM.. |

fwiw, I believe these are the ones missing from the first few years:
1985 (Listen N Fun) Tripwire v2 1986 Motor Viper v1 (Nitro Viper is closest equivalent in Modern Era) 1987 Falcon v1 (there's the mediocre v4 in the Comic-book 2 pack but it's not really close enough) Gung-Ho v2 Gyro-Viper v1 Rumbler v1 Sea Slug v1 Steam-Roller v1 Golobulus v1 Royal Guard v1 The Fridge v1 Secto-Viper v1 Sgt. Slaughter v3 [tan/brown outfit] 1988 Astro Viper v1 Hydro-Viper v1 Lightfoot v1 Toxo-Viper v1 Armadillo v1 Ferret v1 Nullifier v1 Wild Card v1 (Tiger Force) Tripwire v3 (Tiger Force) Dusty v2 (Night Force) Sneak Peek v2 Super Trooper v1 Star-Viper v1 (sort of covered poorly in Modern Era Star-Viper v2) 1989 Backblast v1 Countdown v1 Downtown v1 T.A.R.G.A.T. v1 Dogfight v1 Hot Seat v1 Long Range v1 Payload v2 Track Viper v1 Wild Boar v1 Windchill v1 (Night Force) Lightfoot v2 (Slaughter's Marauders) Sgt. Slaughter v4 |

I ended up going the custom commission route for a number of them, the ones I really want in my modern era collection. I didn't bother with most of the drivers/pilots.
Will be looking for someone to do Dress-blues Gung-Ho, Super Trooper, and The Fridge for me. I have a bunch of modern era donor parts for the Gung-Ho, and all the original gear for all three of them. Those three, especially the Gung-Ho and The Fridge require a certain level of talent to pull off well since there would be a fair amount of free-hand painting required. |

That Convention Tiger Force Felino counts as a TF Dusty doesn't it? It uses all the same parts and paintjob.
