For those of you interested in a set.. I just found them on eBay for 70$US (6 figures). There's 8 sets available in Mexico!!! They're not under the name Power Commandos so..
Here's a link: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... K:MEWAX:IT

Cool. You get a timbit for helping out.

Too much for my blood, but good for you for sharing.

I love it. Can we see the full back of one of the cards? It looks like there is a picture of the figures in action.

Sure, I'll try to post a pic tonight.. if I'm not too drunk  ;D

BTW I don't have any favorites. These figures kinda all rock and suck at the same time, which is the awkward winning formula for a knockoff toyline - Woohoo!

Well, my favorite is Condor Strike.. man, he goes on the battlefield with a baseball bat.. hehe!
''With the help of his Laser Rod wich can paralyze his enemies during close combat, Condor Strike is a sure winner''  :lol: priceless

If you look closely you'll see a lot of similarities between these figures and some Hasbro figs from the 80's..
Red Raven and Submarine torsos--------- '86 Viper
Mummy mask and X-ray Eye torsos--------- '85 Tele-Viper
Metal Hawk and Submarine lower and upper arms----------- '86 Viper and Zartan
Condor Strike and Red Raven crotch pieces.. they remind me of a certain figure but I don't remember wich one?? (I got it!: Cobra Eel)  ;D
Btw here's some cardback pics:



If some of you have some infos about the Power Commandos's 2nd wave, please lmk where it is possible to find them.. as I'm very interested in completing the set! thx!
