Write a Review link for that item. Air Raiders (Hasbro)Air Raiders. Quite the obscurity these days, it was mostly just 5 issues of a comic I've never seen anywhere, and a gimmicky toyline. But it had a lovely swooping aesthetic, rather like pulp sci-fi art, with oddly detailed figures. And the best part was, there were troop builders. The Enforcers are the rank and file troops of the Tyrants of Wind, who tyrannically rule a large colony on an otherwise airless planet. They're totally brainwashed, and live to subdue, terrify, and enslave. Our daring rebels have their work cut out for them. And what figures they are! In simple blocks of desaturated purple and grey, without a lick of paint, they still look great. A visored helmet tops a knight-like environment suit with heavy gauntlets, thick boots, and concave pauldrons. Bits of hose peek out at the knees and curve up the chest. It's right off the cover of an old sci-fi periodical. The hands are particularly well-sculpted, and there are several textures in play. Since they're so small, articulation is light- swivel shoulders, and hips that move as one. There's a slot in the heel rather than the usual peghole, which is interesting. But hey, there's four of them! For like a buck back then, which was alright. And there's an officer, too! This guy definitely looks the part, in a much darker gray with purple and bright blue accents. He's got a far tighter, more militaristic suit, with asymmetrical chest greebles and a conquistador helmet. And of course, the respirator dome. A small laser is mounted on the back of his glove. Now, five bucks for mowing the lawn could net you a small vehicle in this line, or at least ten mooks to cluster around it. Either way, if you were a diorama kid, this stuff was plastic gold. And they really are impressive.   by Karl T. Face |
