Where are all the Roboskulls?

Post by paulitoy »

-

Over the last 6 months I've quietly built a red wolf army of ten [I like things in even numbers, 9 or 11 just wouldn't be right].

So, my OCD aside, I 've ebayed quite easily and swelled the Baron's ranks fairly nicely.

My main point here [aside from showing off] is to ponder the question: where are all the Roboskulls?

They 'must' have gone somewhere as I've ten figures, but just the one Roboskull.

The 'Skull being the much larger part, surely these should turn up [albeit incomplete] much more often than their pilots as smaller parts are more easily lost over the years, but that is clearly not the case.

Anyway, just a thought for the day....

Zakkfan has no feet? Poor lad.

That's a really good question, I must have a dozen Wolves and only two Skulls...

Strange.

I`ve got one M.I.B, one loose complete and 1 in parts (no feet though! )
I had 2 as a kid, lost one to being stepped on and the other went to a boot sale I think?
I was really happy when I won my first one, seemed to complete my Shadow army,still
can`t get hold of a Red Jackal though!!.

I`m quietly building up an army of Ground Assault troops, very cool pre-Dusty`s.
I`ll have to work on a custom Jackal, sticking close to the original.

I think a lot of them were dumped in the 4-packs at the end of the Action Force era.

A loose Roboskull is expensive and I can't imagine the price of a Roboskull still in Box! I read on the board that Roboskull was used in Cobra after Action Force. Does anybody seen a Roboskull in a GI Joe/Cobra box?
