i took cobracoffe's thread and did the opposite of it lol.
Add in your opinion on the greatest figure ever made. Who do you think it is? May be it's their looks! Their uniform! The idea behind them. So many figures came out that I look back on and just think wow. How can something this awesome even exist? i was thinking snake eyes v2 or even storm shadow v1 maybe even ripcord but no there is one that is even better that i will never forget. Zartan v1 the greatest in my opinion gijoe/cobra figure ever made. He changes color in the sun just like the cartoon. He even changes color with temperature(if stickers are on) and in the sun. He has removable armor and comes with a disguise and backpack to hold this disguise. How awesome is that? Amazing simply amazing Last edited by ulquiorra23; 03-16-2008 at 01:26 AM.. |

WELL... here's the problem. What happens most of the time is that people choose their favorites out of nostalgia or because they like the *character*.
Hopefully this won't sound offensive to the O.P., but I always thought Zartan V.1 was VERY weak. Even as a kid. Sure, I liked Zartan the character but I remember being terribly dissapointed when I saw the figure for the first time. I think Zartan first got what he deserved in the comic 3-pack that was released a couple of years ago. I guess the main problem with V1 was always that atrocious head. SO I'm gonna go the other way around. I'll think of favs in terms of playability, sculpt and paint job? Also, I'll try to think *outside* the 82-86 period. Outside the box. And I'll try to think of minor or unknown characters. Sheesh I'm no fun, eh? 92 HEADHUNTERS (brown boots version, not the green one) Sculpt-wise he's perfect Design-wise he's perfect Playability-wise he's perfect Paintjob-wise he's perfect Badassery-wise he's perfect etc. What's not to love? He doesn't have a Cobra sigil so he doesn't inmediatly come off as an evil dude either. He could perfectly be a vigilante for the good guys too (like a Batman). You don't see his face so he could be young, old, white, black, deform, etc. The possibilities are endless. When I think about the "best figure ever", I try to picture myself being able to own just ONE figure. So, the figure that covers most aspects the best, that's the one! He could have some better accessories though. Sure... there's LOTS of gems apart from this guy and I know this. Just trying to offer an alternative for once.

I preferred the Green boots headhunter better.lol. anyhow I actually really like the Headhunters a lot. but you have to admit the Headhunter Stormtrooper totally kicks a lot more ass in then Headhunter. but those arent my favorite figures. its the 1985 Crimson Guard. just love everything about them. soooo bad ass.

Again another tough question. I don't know if i can pick just one. There are to many like Blowtorch, Ripcord, Snow Serpent, Vipers, Crimson Guards, Wet Suit, and many others. To pick one off the top of my head i would say Destro was probably the best figure ever made, in my eyes...
