I’m Daniel, 1976 child, loving the site and all things Ironblood.
Loved the comics as a kid, always thought the Shadows looked particularly cool. I had a pretty extensive collection of old school AF, and ‘newer’ Cobra/ AF toys which I sold on a few years back.
I always preferred the GI Joe series republished by Marvel compared with the ‘Baron becomes CC’ UK version.
If I were to sum up my main interest in the series these days I think it would focus on 2 things:
1. I prefer to look at the Cobra / GI Joe story arc as being entirely separate to the original Battle AF version with the Baron. What if the content of ‘World Enemy No.1’ didn’t occur and the Baron carried on his antics with the shadows into ’85, ’86 and beyond?
2. I’m amazed that with the variety of German model kits out there, especially in 1/35 scale that we don’t see more Red Shadow conversions. That said so many people of my age I speak to don’t seem to have ever heard of the Baron!!! I’m planning on a few conversions to make some ‘real’ shadows etc!!!!
As and when my plans reach fruition I’ll post some pics here.
