Why do so many vintage figures have such huge heads? The 1986 lineup being particularly egregious. Some of the heads from that year (such as Cross-Country's or Lift-Ticket's) barely even look human. In fact, their faces are quite cartoony, actually. Almost caricature-like.
EDIT: I posted this in the wrong thread, didn't I? Man, I really need to start reading the dosage instructions more carefully.

My grief with Flint's head, aside of the huge forehead, is that is Beret is black Paint just like his hair. Shipwreck, Lady Jaye, buzzer had glued on separate hat/hair pieces.
Flint should have had a glued on beret and smaller hair volume. When you rub flint's head ANYWHERE he instantly shows flesh colored streaks on the edges of his beret. It still is an issue to this day. Seller are clever to hide the edges with sharpie, and once you rub them... booo! |

Tiger Force Duke. As a kid, I didn't start on Joe until '85 or '86, so Duke was either gone or on his way out. Problem was, he was the face of the cartoon. I wanted Duke but couldn't get one...until Tiger Force. The package had a blonde head, but the figure had brown. And his wings, that the cartoon intro even zooms in to, were unpainted. I didn't know that the figure even had different lower arms and waist. I got it, but I was never HAPPY with it.
