Haha, one of the first things I thought of when I saw this thread was the old Marvel comic where Torpedo was running around DC in flippers, wetsuit, and mask. That is one of my favorite figures, but to have him running around on land in scuba gear was ridiculous!
Why does Long Range have leggings?
Sneak Peek has a decent sculpt and great accessories, but pretty tough to slyly recon in bright red.
Sci-Fi, since his whole M O is to remain still with his laser...what better target than a stationary person dressed in bright neon green?
The entire 1988 Joe vehicle driver group seems to have shopped at the 70s Sonny Pruitt second hand store, with the exception of Ghostrider who is fantastic.
Tracker has a fairly cool backstory, but yellow pants?
Captain Gridiron...
HEAT Viper is a cool figure, but what in the world kind of battle outfit is that?
Fast Draw has no coherent or practical color scheme whatsoever. The completist in me bought him.
...same with Backstop.
Hate to say it, but Alley Viper v1. I love the figure and have 4 of them, but bright orange and blue isn't exactly something to sneakily wear in an urban setting. Then again, maybe that's the point....they are tough enough not to give a shit.
Raptor. I actually do like the figure from a toy standpoint, but yes, it's stupid
Zandar...sleeves but no shirt? I guess they are "armor"...but look dumb without a shirt.
There are plenty more, but these bug me the most. I will give 92-94 a pass since there was obviously no attempt made to make them remotely realistic.
