Hmmm - good question.
'Rarest' has to be her - purely because I've never seen another one as it's just an "end of line" package up/cock up:-
But probably barely worth a dime really.
or, similar to above, but I've actually seen one for sale other than mine before:-
"Unusual" in that I've never seen another:-
But in terms of "rarest" to be most sought after or courted:-
Now if you'd have asked for my
"favourites" however:-
As they are the ones I still play with/try to destroy!

They're almost "trapped" between AF collectors and GI Joe collectors I find.
Lots of folk seem to not like the later stuff too much, as it's a bit too GI Joe. Whilst Joe collectors seem to find the AF carded versions of figures just mildly interesting. If the Stormshadow was on a US card you could probably double it's value.
But that's not why I've got him really - always my favourite figure of the later range when i was a lad.
Him and Zartan, for the whole "leave out in the sun then put in your iced Um Bongo" factor!

Don't really have anything too rare. My fav one is a carded arctic assault. Still thinking about getting in to German carded ones.
Always love looking at the carded minsweeper (one day perhaps!). He was among my all time favourites. Along with the

medic

assault trooper and

sea skimmer.
I do love the carded series one sets. Thanks for sharing.

I struggle for good condition series 1 stuff. Most of mine seem to have aged far worse than the series 2 stuff. No idea why, Surely the extra few years doesn't make that much difference? Maybe poorer quality bubble material?

Thats no fun Jon! We cant have two of the same "rare" items! It makes them less rare! I demand that you get rid of your two immediately! In fact - send them to me!

You can expect mate! But the expectations may be dashed on the rocks. First thing Friday morning indeed! With first class these days he'll be missing for at least a fortnight first!
