the worst thing about Mutons is they keep clogging up the ebay listings ,I wish someone put staight the ebay dealer who keeps listing the Muton as' Rare Action Force carded figure' , you click on the link hoping it's a minesweeper, nope a 'rare' muton.
I think Palitoy who obviously produced far too many of these unslightly buggers should have burried them in a desert in mexico along with the million unsold ET cartridges Atari produced not long before.
sorry for off topic, just needed to get it off my chest

Couldn't agree more on the Swampmasher, what were they thinking when they designed that thing? Its gotta be of the stupidest GI Joe vehicles of all time.

I go to toyfairs freqeuntly and about the only action force you are ever likly to see is carded Mutons, I think as they may not of been that popular at the time a large number of unsold ones have been unearthed from a warehouse recently and the vast majority of non specialised dealers have bought them up.

What, a Muton?
The one that really irks me is the Action Force Minesweeper that often crops up on ebay, I always click on it excitedly to find it's a GI Joe vehicle thingy akin to a Dart/Lance/Shaft etc. Shouldn't be allowed!!!
