Apparently, the 1997 15th Anniversary line was deemed a success, so Toys R Us receives another series of figures. Most are just repaints of previous figures from the ARAH line, although there are some new character, still on repainted bodies, but... you know...
For this poll, I'm giving my vote to Colonel Brekhov. Even though he's just a Red Star repaint, it's nice to finally see a figure of the leader of the Oktober Guard in the line. Link to Part 2: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...e-drivers.html

No terrible figures in this batch like some of the '97s (:cough:Breaker, Rock 'N Roll:cough: ), but no real standouts ones either.
The Viper mold is good in any color, but it was dumb to rename it the "Cobra Trooper" and "Cobra Officer," and both are a little bland. Shipwreck looks good in the black wetsuit, but my vote actually goes to the Night Creeper, which I think looks very striking in white. Last edited by Josh Z; 03-11-2024 at 10:45 AM.. |

This is a harder decision than I thought it would be but ultimately had to go with Firefly. The return of the original mold and I always liked Artic themed stuff. The repainted Snow Serpent V2 and Night Creeper were also awesome.
Col. Brekhov and Lt. Gorky are awesome repaints of Red Star and Big Bear. Honestly this was a really strong year of releases all around. |

Cobra Officer (v2) - Yeah, it's hard not to see a Viper. No Cobra logo. I'd take less metal paint ops just to get that logo honestly.
Cobra Troopers (v1) - Same. I also don't like the gold visors much. Colonel Brekhov (v1) - It's Red Star/ Firefly (v4) - Kinda bland. Lt. Gorky (v1) - Gorkey was blonde. They couldn't even get the hair color right. This was sooo lazy. Night Creeper (v4) - Again bland. Shipwreck (v3) - Let make the SEALS dark colored and add this greenish color. Snow Serpent (v4) - More subdued than the 1991 release, but again bland. But I'm picking him because the officer look good, but I really came to loathe those BAT legs. |

I really hate the named characters using another named characters mold that they did around this time. That ain't Brekhov. That's Red Star.
Arctic Night Creeper takes this for me. |

Hasbro misread the fandom room or maybe it was Toy R Us wanting more good guys. Which would be silly, I don't recall the 1997 Cobra sets hanging around any longer than anything else. But that might be how they thought...Hasbro and/or Toys R Us. |

Brekhov doing well. Glad I'm not the only one who was happy to see the Oktober Guard getting representation in the line, although I wasn't collecting at this point, so didn't buy them.
Hopefully, Classified will give us the Guard, real world politics be damned.

I gotta go with Firefly. Arctic figures are always cool, and that Firefly is pretty good.
