Ok, heres my take on Funskool.
A) Their cheap in quality but also cheap in price which makes it a nice way to build joe or cobra armies on the cheap.
B) I find that some Funskool figures look much better than others. For example as has been pointed out the night viper and cg immortal are decent quality and mesh in very well with arah army building.
When I started recollecting Joes I basically had to start my collection from scratch and some of the first purchases I made were funskool because of the fact that you could buy misb and moc arah stuff for cheap. I really like the vehicles as well. Some of them look almost as good as their arah counterparts such as the fang, claw, weapons transport, and sky striker.
Basically if you want to get Funskool figures in bulk go with smalljoes.com
Sometimes the shipping can be a bit slow, thats not a complaint just something people encountered with them. Still worth it. bigbadtoystore used to have all the Funskool vehicles but they sold out years ago. Same for smalljoes.
Muskrat88, HQ is a great site and their customer service is A1. Problem is he doesn't have much Funskool stuff although that MOC Baroness is tempting.
BTW, someone found some obscure site which has some funskool vehicles including a brown variant of the bomb disposal which I have never seen before. Ill try and find the link.
