Name That Action Figure! July 3rd, 2009

Friday July 3, 2009

Congratulations to Charles for not only being the first to take a guess and then guess correctly, but hitting the nail on the head by naming the correct edition of last week's mystery figure! This is an example of some serious action figure devotion, my friends. I bow down to Charles' deep well of toy knowledge.

Last week's figure was indeed the G.I. Joe 5 Pack Flint. I honestly thought I would have stumped you all with that one, but once again, I have been thwarted. Flint was the Joe's shotgun-carrying Warrant Officer. According to Wikipedia, Flint has had no less than 15 different 3 3/4" figures made of him and 2 12" dolls. He was first released in 1985 with the Series 4 line of G.I. Joe figures from Hasbro. He was never my personal favorite, but I blame that on my innate aversion to berets.

Now on to this week's mystery figure. I hate to say it, but I think I've got you guys this time! You better know your figures well if you're going to take a a stab at this week's installment of Name That Action Figure!

I’ve considered everyone from Witchblade to Dirty Pair to a female Cyberman – and I admit you have me stumped!

Well played, sir!

I think bubba nailed it with his last guess. It’s a Cyberwoman from Torchwood by Underground Toys.
