I'm not always a traditional completist but I try to have a little of everything if it's a brand I like.
I notice the one thing I have NOTHING of that falls under G.I.Joe is Star Brigade. I literally like every aspect of Joe, from the Original 13...waaaay down to the Street Fighter figures but for whatever reason Star Brigade never made it to my collection. So I'm looking online and I'll be honest...it looks pretty damn weak. Is there ANY redeeming value to these things? Anyone here able to convince me to buy one just for the sake of owning it?! |

i dunno, the only thing i actually enjoyed about it was the partially unmasked cobra commander head we got in that subset.

I liked the recolor of the Star Brigade TARGAT better than the original... of course he did not come with the jetpack that the v1 came with. I also had the Star Brigade Starfighter (w/ Sci-Fi as the pilot), I thought it was pretty badass.

I had Red-White&Blue Countdown, which, at the time of my youth, was a totally sweet looking figure. But, I loved the original Countdown in his astronaut get-up. But in retrospect, it's kind of a goofy figure.
Going off of memory, though, I think Payload was a repaint of Eco-Warriors Barbecue and was black and green--NOT a very cool figure. But I liked Ozone, I think it was, who had a red helmet and mostly grey outfit, and then Roadblock based on the v3. General Hawk figure was one that I really liked and still don't mind too terribly much. |

Whether it was GI Joe or not, I always liked the idea of good guys fighting aliens, so that aspect appeals to me.
If you get past the paint schemes, some of the figures have cool molds. I really like the yellow/gray Sci Fi mold. His wrist/hand looks like it has a gun built in to it, and the helmet is pretty cool with the clear visor part. Space Shot is another great figure. None of them are that realistic, but I think with a little custom work they could be used for some great figures with the Defiant or Crusader. As large as those playsets are, its good to have some legit space guys to go with them. |

the cobra blackstar wasn't a terrible figure... but i think the mold lent itself to steel brigade more than cobra. and i might be wrong but i recall him not having a cobra sigil on him?

What other crew can man your Defiant?
Hmmmmm? Exactly. Go get the red/white/blue Countdown and Roadblock.
