Modern Era : Cover Girl

Wolverine Driver



Well i made this after seeing the Rise of Cobra Cover Girl Released with little to any traits to the 83 figures so i just had to have the Original Version in my Modern Era Ranks and whipped this Up !


Cover Girl was released as part of the second series (1983), packaged exclusively with the Wolverine Missile Tank.

Cover Girl and the Wolverine Missile Tank were also sold in 1984. Cover Girl was discontinued in 1985.

Modern Era : Steel Brigade

Special Forces


When the Incredible Hulk Line was laying on shelves i noticed some of the figures had Steel Brigade helmets and so i now had a way to create a SB Figure, this was before the ROC Pit Commando came along with these helmets making them alot easier to get

Steel Brigade was first available in the sixth series (1987) as a mail-in offer from Hasbro Direct. The offer was hyped as a "personalized" figure, and came with a personalized bio certificate. It essentially was a figure made up of repainted parts from other figures with the head being the only original piece.

From the years 1987 through 1994, Steel Brigade was offered off and on from Hasbro Direct. As the years passed, different parts of different figures were recolored and used to create new variations of the Steel Brigade figure.

Modern Era : Skull Buster

Range Viper Leader

Another guy that i never had as a kid but once i seen him i loved his design and came up with this paint less custom of the Sub Viper with the help of my Good friend and well loved Customizer of the Hisstank Boards "Kalibus" who Dremelled out the Helmet so SV could have a Removable one that the OG never had.
