The thing is, that set came out in 1986 and used 4 of the new figures from that year. Those figures didn't hit the UK until 1988 and the second year of the US-style packaging. I think they might not have released it over here because the market's that much smaller and because it was that much later on.

Thanks again for the kind praise.
First up today is Big Bear, as mentioned above I wanted to have him and Red Star to bolster the Oktober Guard ranks. He is completely built with MTF parts except a cast Ushanka hat (I didn't want to to use too many MTF ones to keep the OG figures distinct from one another) Last edited by AF80sFAN; 05-15-2020 at 12:21 PM.. |

For Covergirl I used the Indiana Jones jacket and arms and a Marvel Universe Shanna head. Not a character I had any nostalgic memory of (we got Ton-Up with the Wolverine over here) but I still wanted to make her.

I always remember Lift-Ticket as being an ugly figure (and I always used Wild Bill as my Helicopter pilot) but over here he came from Wimborne according to his Bio (which is where I grew up) so I had to include him. I personally don't like the slot in the front of the MTF pilot helmets so I filled it, sanded it down and painted it to give a solid visor. I think he looks much better now than his vintage figure did.

Ripcord got a lot of play from me as a kid so he was another figure I had to make. He has the same camo pattern as my Z Force figures so could be swapped over if Z Force ever needed a Paratrooper for one of their missions.

I didn't want my Stinger Driver to just be a repainted Cobra Officer so I tried to make him look different yet hopefully still be recognisable by using a Grey German soldier body. I moved the Cobra Logo to the arm rather than the chest as I didn't think it would look right on the buttoned up shirt. I added the goggles to the helmet so it would look less like a German helmet (but I have to say I am not sure about them). I also decided to make my Scar Face officer the Stinger Driver.
