Skyduster or Starduster?
- Thread starter Starfighter
- Start date
The TRU one, but due to pricing. He was a "bonus" figure that I didn't care about at all, but kept because he's one of the vintage guys I never knew about. There's novelty to him. Although the other one, the star is cool on the helmet.
Wasn't that a Club issue? I despise their old "too sunburnt" red flesh tone they used, it just looks odd.

the club had a version?...i thought that was a custom...are the torsos from the same base figure?
Yeah? I'm confused as to the origin as well. The one on the right is a modern mold correct?
I think one was released at the same time as Redmac, etc from the international set. Can't remember if it was Canadian or what.
The blue camo version was a 2009 official club attendee exclusive (it was in Kansas City that year). It was part of a 2-pack that came with an (Argentina) figure named Sgt. Manleh. There was a 3-pack that also that came with more Argen7 figures name Sgt. Topson, Sgt. Redmack & Sgt. Shimik. The single exclusive figure came with Blades (Action Force: SAS). The con set was the Crimson Vipers with Tomax, Xamot & the Baroness. All of those exclusive figures that I had just stated were in the modern 4-inch scale. It was a very good set that year as well. The attendee exclusives sold out instantly at the show as well. Blades sold out the first on the second day of the show. So now you know.

Awesome, that helps. Where's Starduster?
Yes, it is the exact same figure mold down to every part used including accessories except for the harness/web gear.
Thanks, he is in the original pic. How did I forget to add him in this pic? Oh well. I'm too tired I guess. I updated the description of the pic.

Hah I see he's on loan. OK, so... there were 6 "extra" exclusives in 2009 and 4 in 2011? And the 2010 set was O-Ring...
See, I knew I recalled him existing from somewhere! Haha.
Yeah, the figures were decent, and a good Con type exclusive set as I imagine that the international Joes aren't on every fan's checklist. I know he's not on mine. It's just that red skintone that seems so off on most of the figures. The Xamot and Tomax were the same way.
I'm very glad the Club got that flesh tone right this year on most of their figures. (Although some shots of Dial-Tone seem to be a tad too red... I guess I'll know when he's arrived.)
No, I love varied skin tones. It's just when the entire set has the same weird, almost sunburnt tone, it's a bit odd. Just like it's odd that nearly all my Cobra troopers are the same pasty white guy with various hair colors (or no hair at all!).
Here's the full set:

The international figures work a little bit better, but the Cobra team, I guess got a tad tanned on their mission.
