Are you mad? The ones with the "crap" hands are the decent ones!

They have FAR superior paint jobs, and look menacing as hell, whereas the later ones are a slightly more pink colour, with blurrier logos, and ALWAYS have a downs-syndrome look around the eyes. OK, they have better hands and thicker soles, but their heads are smaller! The peak is also less defined on the face visor.

I had one of them as I kid, and he was instantly renamed as Red Dufus. And you'll never find one with black gloves.

Ooooohhh controversial Baron!

One man's trash, another man's treasure I guess.




I know it shouldn't have, but this made me laugh a bit -

ALWAYS have a downs-syndrome look around the eyes

SO wrong.

A Shad is a Shad in my eyes! I've got a mixed bag of them including some German ones. Just wish they were cheaper! Unlike those lots the other week that went for close to £100.
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

I have two of each version (well, one is Red Vulture) and prefer the first Red Shadow style with the bigger helmet and logo. He has a far more sinister 'face' while the newer one looks a little 'goofy'. Pity that my two 'newer' ones are the mint figures...

Paul, I have 7 of these Red Rejects. Would you be up for swapping them for 7 "crap" Shadows?

Although fairly pointless, I'll swap them with you Baron if you want?

As long as the paintwork on the helmets are all ok?
