At last I got a Steeler!

Post by Crimson Rage »

I've been after a Z-Force STEELER for a while now, but those I saw on Ebay were usually missing the helmet or, at least, the visor. So when I saw a distinctly minty complete version I snapped it up. I have to admit, I forgot how cool this guy was. He's waaay better than the US version in my view.

I appreciate that pretty much everyone here is an AF 'old lag', but people have to realise that although I've been buying GI Joe figures virtually non-stop for over 20 years, I've only just begun to try an re-aquire the old Action Force range. It'll take me a while and there will always be gaps, but for me this is a significant find!
Red laser next (ha!)!!!

:steeler: Yay!

Looks like a really nice quality fig. Do you have the Battletank though?

Alas no (Not the Z-Force version anyway!). I'm not too bothered about the vehicles though, as they take up to much space. And, whenever I see one on Ebay, the driver is always missing. I wanted to make the figures a priority. I can always stick him in my MOBAT!

By the way, does anyone know how hard the other Z-Force figures are to get hold of? I know it's a tough thing to quantify, but the likes of the Medic and Minesweeper seem very rare (even back when they were originally released I never found them!!).

That's one nice looking figure. Definitely a lot nicer than the ARAH Steeler. Those red markings and logos make these look awesome.

Z Force has a few tough to find members:

Medic -> not seen around a lot, but rather 'easy' obtainable
Mine Sweeper -> easy to find figure as they were dumped in the clearance 4-packs, but accessories is a nightmare
Gaucho & Jammer -> get an extra mortgage
