Released in 1993 as part of the SFII line of action figures to capitalize on the popular arcade/home video game of the time this is a version 1 release with a second being released in the color blue.
Blanka came with all your standard weapons you would find with any of the G.I. Joes of this time frame.....
I scored this one complete and on card at a indoor flea market late last year along with Chun Li also from this line which I will be showing on the blog next time.
I always thought it was weird that they worked SF into GI Joe.
ReplyDeleteIt is but it works in some regard.
DeleteAhhh! The Green Goblin stole Lion-O's hair!
ReplyDeletelol Ron.
DeleteBlanka is a very cool character, nice pick-up!
ReplyDeleteIndeed he is JD and thanks!
DeleteThis were awesome toys! I had a bunch of them back in the day, but had the "movie" version of Blanka.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty cool I think too.
DeleteI always wished he had the hairy chest.
ReplyDeleteThat is something that would been a nice extra to make it closer to the arcade rendering.
DeleteThat first pic scared me !! Looks like he's ready to jump out of the pic !!
ReplyDeletelol Mike imagine if it was in 3D.
DeleteVery interesting figure. He can double up as Hulk. Must be great for the whole team to form up together.
