Scoobydie, thanks so much for looking! Yes, I can find - without much problem - Ravens from France, Belgium US, Canada, and even Brazil.... But I can't seem to find one from the UK (or from SP/IT) - and I have been looking for a few years...

Also, I asked Baron about the comic strip that started this thread... I just realized that it was you who posted it (silly me - my head is not always all there!). Can you tell me in which issue you found it? Thanks! (I guess when I think "Action Force comics" I think "the Baron" :-)

Baron, sorry you did not win the Raven! Luckily, they come available quite often! Good luck!!! (Painted red sounds cool :-)

Take care, all!
Aire

What was that jeep at the start? http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/blood/D ... %2004.html
Seems to be a mix of the humvee and Z force jeep.

Gotta agree with the Baron there and say Panther or VAMP. Given that the new line was effectively just GI Joe and the fact that we saw Snake-Eyes featured in BAF, yet he wasn't released in the UK at that time, it's possible the artists at BAF were privvy to the GI Joe line or it was an improvised design used in the strip.
