I liked Neon missles... it helped my mom avoid them while vacuuming ... the neon guns too...

Now with my own place and aged eyes... I hate vacuuming up marauders highly detailed guns... :(

LOL

I left joes as a kid just before the "neon invasion" (and the ninja invasion as well!)... my last Joe at that time was a BAT v1.

So the neon joes are not a part of my childhood memories.

Apart from some specific cases as the Sci Fi v1, Alley Viper v1 and others, I really don't have much love for neon. And since I'm not the "completist" type collector, I normally pass on them.

But now, seeing what you guys can do customizing vehicles and figures that had a nice design, but awful colors... I'll probably think twice next time I have a chance to get an old neon character/vehicle, because I know it can be "fixed" ;)

Bartus but you have 1 neon leatherneck remember lol , banana pants in the :cool: house

That's what I'm talking about, the specific cases. There are some neon colors that we can live with. In my case I can say are the Capt. Grid Iron and Col. Courage. Maybe there are others, but I just can think about them right now.

Camoflauge works on 99% of figures. guys Like BBQ, his job isn't just combat..it's firefighting. And Charbroil, Blowtorch and Ice Cream Soldier use flame throwers...a very mission orientied weapon. They are used to take out bunkers or in urban warfare. They are close range weapons that run out of fuel fast, so sneaking up on someone with flamethower and hitting them and then getting out without being seen....aint gonna happen!

So for them to be neon is ok....as for the rest and the "Banana Pants"...Burn them (The Pants....not the figures...Damn...too late...Craig is Torching Comic Pack RoadBlock!)

Hmmm... you're right... those "giraffe camo" pants might need an upgrade ;)

I must say it is a case by case basis some guys it wotks for and some are just plain horrible paint them if need be if you can make it work leave them go.
