Everyjoe #159: Long Range (Fritz)
This is one of the forgotten 1989 characters. Long Range didn't get much time in the pages of Marvel's run, and came along after I was out of GI Joe. I had begun collecting as an adult with the S&SF set, so I have more of an awareness of much newer characters like Dart or Crosshairs or Long Range (Garcia) than I do for Long Range (Fritz). This is also a time when I like that the codename was later recycled for another character not intended to be the same person. Design wise, Long Range is a figure that Hasbro tried to make interesting, but then fumbled it down by ignoring lots of sculpted details that should have been painted. I stuck close to the design of the figure, but made sure to use color to pull out all of the different elements left unpainted on the figure. Even Long Range's techno-overloaded helmet should have been interesting, but wasn't. So I skipped it altogether. Last edited by Clockwise; 11-25-2021 at 03:39 AM.. |

Great job (again)!! Got a soft spot for this guy, got him he was fairly new but no vehicle. Used him almost all of the time in my adventures. Another solid Joe Team member immortalized ;)
