$3.00 each? Yeah, I'm not passing that up.

The 1993 version has a literal confederate flag on his back. 1993!!!

It's not a burn. It was a downright tribute. And, one of the most embarrassing things in the line's history.

This isn't just one of the best vehicles of the '90's, it's one of the best Joe vehicles they ever made. So much play value.

Some Vipers have a rough ending to their lives.

That Paratrooper Dusty is lost convention figure. No one remembers him. Yet, he's one of the best figs they did.

Back in '02, you could buy lots of busted fig parts that were left over from figs who crashed in the parking lot when their chutes didn't open.

Been a while since I've had the 1994 Star Brigade Roadblock out.

A test shot for the Manimal Vortex that features his little bird-flipping alien pilot.

Some Recondo variants. I'd love that neon green one on the right.

The Cobra Soldado from Brazil. It's the most unique coloring for the Cobra Trooper mold in the vintage timeframe. Fortunately, there are some factory customs that are pretty close to the colors, too.

Originally, there was going to be an additional color But, it probably made the figure worse.

The upside to these guys is that they remain pretty cheap. So, they're not bad for the money.

A European exclusive Crimson Guard Immortal that uses the Rock Viper head. A bunch of bagged bootlegs showed up in Asia in the early 2010's. But, real ones are out there. Just really pricey.

His cardback and filecard denoted him as a Cobra. Don't know if he was that affiliation in the media, though.

Several figures got realigned in the Comandos Em Acao line. Never seen any explanation as to why that happened, though.

The Manimals are really good toys. They're just not good G.I. Joe toys. I wouldn't have minded the second wave making it out in 2001.

I do wonder how they'd perform, now. Collectors are far more opened minded about them than they were 24 years ago.

The rich copper on the Funskool version is a very unique color for a Joe figure. Since the '93 suffers from tremendous GPS, the Funskool's a great alternative.
