Joe Brazil Falcon Torak!

I would have been all over that as a kid, but I wasn't even aware of this figure until I got the latest Cotswold mailer last week. They have a repro up for pre-order.

Falcon stuff is great, they reissued Gijoe/Falcon Muscle body figures in 1994 but they are long gone. Great they they have reissued so many great sets even a few original. The Falcon line had soem great original figures and sci-fi themes too! I love the 12in Super Joe type stuff they made and some of the originals by Loucobones(sp?)Comment

I received it yesterday. I'm clueless about pix, sorry. It is very close to the original: The box is large with great diorama-style graphics. The new figure's colors are a bit lighter and brighter. The cloak has a flocked/velveteen collar instead of a vinyl one, and lacks a securing chain. The figure body is sturdy but not nearly as durable as a repro muscled Geyperman. Considering the rarity of the original, the price is excellent.
I actually like it better than my vintage one, and I hope they do CONDOR as a complementary figure.Last edited by PNGwynne; Dec 13, '18, 5:37 PM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

^ Glad to hear your thoughts on this. As a kid, I had no idea about this line and as a result, I don't feel the usual pull I have toward the things I had or remember being on shelves or in catalogs. However, it's JOE related and so darned cool that I am leaning toward getting one, myself. Cotswold keeps adding Geyperman, Falcon, and Group Action Joe inspired items and it has me thinking I may be chasing after some figures from all of those lines in the near future.Comment
