Top Figures Wanted From the DiC Series (Season 1)
« on: January 21, 2012, 11:45:13 PM »

Well, I went ahead and ordered Season 1 of the DiC series and just finished watching it tonight.  While not quite up to par with the Sunbow series it does have its redeeming qualities, such as getting to see a lot of the figures and vehicles I had back in the day in animated action (I didn't start collecting the original figs until around 1988).  I loved seeing the Retaliator, General, and RAGE in action among others.  There's also multiple characters on there who don't have figures yet in the modern, 25th Anniversary style so I figured I'd throw my list out there and see who agreed and disagreed.  So, here goes: 

Joes
1. Ambush - I loved the gun and the camo netting included with the original.
2. Pathfinder - this one would be easy to make, even as a custom.  Lifeline's head with a Gnawgahyde or Recondo hat.  Hmm...
3. Bullhorn - If for no other reason than to get a new version of his rifle in case.
4. Freefall - Always thought this guy was vastly underrated.
5. Sky Patrol - ok I know I'm cheating a bit, but hey I like these guys.

Cobras
1. Metal-Head - BANG!  BANG!
2. Laser Viper - Always liked these guys, one of my faves as a kid.
3. SAW Viper - Kinda surprised we haven't gotten this one yet, honestly.
4. Undertow - Destro can always use his own version of the Eels.
5. Incinerator - Give Blowtorch and Charbroil someone to shoot flame with.

Special Section - Not wanted
1. Capt. Grid-Iron - one of the most ridiculous figures ever, and his constant speak in football slang annoys the crap out of me.
2. "Green"shirts - I understand the need for the Joes to have generic troopers, but ugly brown uniforms with PURPLE helmets?  No thanks!

GOT TO GET TOUGH!  Lol  ;D

And the Grid-Iron hate even comes from a football fan.  That's saying something.

Yeah I love football but the constant football references are just over the top.  And Pigskin Commandos?  That's worse than the Fuzzy-Wuzzies

I spent a lot of time wanting to punch Metal Head in the face.

You won't like what's on my "to do" list for customs then...
