-To help you out with the individual character count (troopers and army builders are not added) on whom we are missing from the cartoon, I put this together a while ago after watching every episode of the Sunbow A.R.A.H. cartoon last summer. (I did not count the DiC cartoon as I have not seen all of that so far.)

So far, through May, 2011, we are only missing 12 characters that have been made in o-ring form in the 25th/ME/RoC/PoC/Resolute scale.

*Note - Not all characters have the the exact costume. For Example: Law & Order.

Here is the list of Joes that appeared most in the ARAH Sunbow Cartoon. There were a total of 65 story arcs that expanded into 100 episodes (including the movie).
**Note - On the list, I had only counted the story arc that the character was in as many episodes ran together making that story arc.

Interestingly enough, of the 67 Joes that were in the cartoon. Lady Jaye was in the cartoon the most. I would have thought it would have been someone else.

Also, we are only missing 8 total Joe characters from the cartoon. They Are:
Cross Country, Iceberg, Tollbooth, Sparks, Jinx, Mercer, Taurus, & Red Dog

I wouldn't really consider Lifeline, Airtight and Law and Order yet. Since they are not actually produced I would not really say they are part of the list yet. At least they are an idea right now but lets see if they make it before really committing them. The ROC Monkeywrench was a sad excuse of the figure and not really that IMO. It was Outback with a red jacket.

I updated the list. I was quickly typing yesterday before the end of work at 5 p.m. I was not as clear in my description. I was only counting the characters that were made in the O-ring scale that we have not gotten yet in the modern 4-inch scale.

So far through May 2011, there are only 12 individual characters left to make using that criteria as I did not count troop builders as they are not individuals. For some reason, I thought that Pythona was made, but everyone is right, She was not. I did not have Lt. Clay Moore on there either so I fixed the list. It was a lot of hard work.


I had also only included the Sunbow A.R.A.H. series of the cartoon as I have not finished watching every episode of the DiC A.R.A.H. series.

Too elaborate on the episode selection, I had only counted story arcs as the episodes ran together as many different story arcs. There were a total of 65 different story arcs within the 100 episodes of the Sunbow series.

I don't consider that ROC MW a real Monkeywrech :)

Unfortunately, there will most likely not be another made. It is the only official non-O-Ring that we have made in the new sculpt to consider Monkeywrench.

Perhaps a 7-pack with the other missing Dreadnoks would be considered and Monkey wrench would be added then.

Nice work on the list. That's a lot of cartoon watching! :D

How about the Cobra-La Royal Guard (the only Cobra-La fig even worth owning back in the day, IMO)?

np and it's not cuz of my hate for roc, it's just that those figs don't even feel like those characthers. Just like the TRU Repeater

Honestly, a decent Repeater can be made from that set, plus another vest. But not from the intended figure. It's like some twisted build-a-Joe set.

He's not perfect, but good enough for me:

POC Spirit could be a cheaper alternative:)

I agree, it's far from perfect, but I really never knew who Repeater was until a few years ago. He's still way down the list for me for Joes I want in 25th, but I'd be happy if we got him, although there are way more important dudes ahead of him. But he was never in Sunbow, either, and all of those guys take precedence first.

BTW, i looked up Spirit PoC on ebay and Amazon...cheapest was $37 loose...WOW!!!!!

Hmm, we still had Spirits at one of our TRUs not too long ago... Along with WAY too many Quick Kicks. I only got one, so I won't be using his vest, unfortunately, not unless I can find another one. $37 is way too steep for the vest, but I wouldn't pay that for the figure alone. He's not that awesome. I got him for like $7 at TRU before the price hike.

The rest of the recipe is basically Zartan's "disguise" head from that set on the "Footloose" body. I dunno, that TRU set is good for fodder and background desert troopers, but there's not a single figure besides female "Dial-Tone" that's really worth getting the set, besides the hybrid sorta-Repeater. The arms are a bit long, as they're a repaint of Lt. Stone, but when holding the gun he looks okay.

I got a SDS head of Repeater so I may eventually make a more proper one. Although the one I have looks alright, so I may not bother.

Repeater Should look like Drake from Aliens. Hell, we got the smart gun and steady cam mount... Just saying.
