The original Sonic Fighters are a really good and often
overlooked subgroup. Their colors are mostly excellent and it’s easy to find
uses for the figures. Sporting a grey and black outfit, this version of Falcon
is a great looking figure perfectly suited for urban settings.
When I first got back into collecting, my brother and I went
through his old collection of 90’s Joes. At the time I didn’t appreciate those
figures much, but a few stood out to me that used classic molds, but in
reasonable colors like this figure does. Falcon quickly became a figure I
looked at often, even upon acquiring an original, this Falcon remains as one of
my favorites.
His accessories aren’t among the greatest, his backpack
being an awkward piece of junk and his guns being downright strange. Unlike
many figures of the era, Falcon’s parts were new and unique to him. One of his
guns is a very sci-fi looking underarm riffle type thing; I don’t really know
how to describe it. Generally speaking, I’m a bit of a realist when it comes to
these figures, but I can get over it if it improves the figure. I don’t really
see any play value added by this gun however. His other gun is large and kind
of forgettable. I think this is the kind of figure who isn’t bad to acquire
sans parts given all of this.
