While you sort your head this morning, catch up on my Top 10 Posts of 2022:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....p-10-2022.html These were the 10 most popular items on the site last year. No real surprises. But, the newest releases and 1990's stuff seems to lead the way.

Today you can read ~2200 words about the 2001 Big Ben:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....c-big-ben.html This was one of the most appropriate repaints of the 2000's. But, the circumstances of its release forever doomed it.

Today's new profile is the Funskool Streethawk figure:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....treethawk.html This once common repaint has gotten stupidly expensive in recent years. It's a neat looking variant. But, I'm not sure I'd pay the current prices.

Today's new profile looks at the 1993 Eel:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot..../1993-eel.html This purple repaint is similar to the 1992 figure and is a great army builder. It's not the 1985 figure. But, it is a neat figure to own who works great with vehicles like the Bugg.

Today's new profile features the 1985 Frostbite:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....frostbite.html Frostbite is another quintessential 1985 vehicle driver. He's designed to do his job and look good while doing it.

Great reviews . I think that in Eel's case, some director at Hasbro thought he didn't look evil enough, so he must have said "make him purple or something and give him red, mean weapons".
When I was a kid, I always thought Eel v2 was a GI Joe from looking at the catalogue. So bright in colours, like Barricade or Wet Suit.

Today's new profile looks at the 2023 Pilot Scarlett figure from the Skystriker Haslab set:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....-scarlett.html This figure brings a nice visual to a collection. But, there are issues with it should you choose to open her.

Today's new profile looks at the 1983 Silver Pads Grand Slam:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....rand-slam.html This was a key figure of my childhood and is a visually appealing repaint. He's just super expensive these days.

Today's new profile looks at the 1993 Street Fighter Blanka:
https://forgotten--figures.blogspot....ii-blanka.html In the context of Joe, this guy's an oddball. But, he can be used with some of the sci-fi elements of the line.
