  probably!this figure line was pretty gimmicky--although mine in particular doesn't do anything at all
i actually looked up the old commercials on youtube after getting these figures, i think i remember 'em airing on tv aswell i thought they're pretty neat, all in all, they're super tall and i like the articulation points on the max steel secret agent one a lot...since they were reasonably priced and with local pickup, i thought i got a lot of value for what i paid for 'em

Ah well, I probably mixed him up with some other figure, I don't know Those are some big ass dolls action figures though, and they seem to be in good shape too! Looks like the dude on the left is ready for his guest appearance on Baywatch, lol

Yeah, fortunately they were in alright shape & it also included the accessories which is cool!I hadn't been having much luck with my local purchases....6 of the figures had some detail on the sculpt of some sort, 3 of em being minor enough that i don't really care as much...& then there was the ryu one which was a whole another story, with the glued on arm which pissed me off to no end x_x, it's difficult to find good deals here...so i felt i lucked out with these.

Funny that you mention that because they're essentially dolls if you think about it--i remember reading on wikipedia they just changed the term around to make it more appealing to boys: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Joe…


& you're right with the life guard jacket & shorts, lol...now i bid on this one which i will be picking up on saturday, i knew beforehand that the fist is broken & the little horns on the foot too, but for $7 bucks i thought it was cool enough that i'd like to buy it anyway, because you can't find anything worth crap for $7-10 anymore locally, it seems, so it was worth it to me: articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/M…

Also since the fist shoots out, i could maybe buy a replacement on ebay if i can manage to get imports to get to me once again anyway.

Ah well, any part of a figure that detaches and especially when it has a shooting feature is the first one to get lost. That missing fist probably wound up in a storm drain or a vacuum cleaner bag or something. The manufacturers ought to start including a spare for small easy-to-lose parts like that!

Yeah!They really should, i think someone was doing just that for the "optimus prime" fists unofficially, on local auction site "mercadolibre", but i didn't get to buy them...since i purchase things loose, it is very common to see that these type of things are long since lost.

Oddly enough it did include 2 sets of fists: www.collectiondx.com/toy_revie… but still he didn't seem to have em anymore...

On that note, yesterday i sold off the thingie that came in place of the right fist, for half what the  whole robot cost n_n, because, someone told me what the hell it actually was: forums.thetechnodrome.com/show…

lol, so the seller just jammed something in there that came from a different figure? But I guess something is better than nothing At least you got a good price for it, eh?
