Marty, If I can find some play do for real cheap I can show you on here. Basically you place two small pieces of play do on each side of the armor mold. Clamp the mold around the figure and remove the mold. Remove any access play do. You will now have a nice Bio Armor cast around the figure. Works the same on the tips of the missiles too. |
Monstro-Viper
Monstro-Viper's are perhaps the most terrifying Joe figure ever to come out. They were big, nasty, and they had a "Monster Smell". They kinda remind me of the Fatal Fluffies seen in the Pyramid of Darkness mini series. The Monstro-Vipers are the land based cousins of the Bio-Vipers. They were once Range Vipers who Cobra Commander volunteered for Dr. Mindbenders genetic experiments. Using the DNA of grizzlies, rabid werewolves and bigfoot (yes apparently werewolves and bigfoot do exist), the Monstro-Vipers were created. The Monstro-Viper had a really disgusting gimmick of creating "gut bombs" out of its excriments. A play do mold was built right into the belly of this beast and when play do is mashed inside the mold it creates a gut bomb. The right hand is a action lever that tosses the gut bombs at Mega-Marines and other victims. Aside from its nasty action feature the Monstro-Viper includes a spike ball and chain and laser rifle. |

Oh my God!
Weirdo people. |
Monster Blaster A.P.C.
The Monster Blaster was the official tactical transport of the Mega-Marines it stored over 20 figures inside and around the vehicle. The Monster Blaster also has the distinct pleasure being in the Marvel Comic run during the early 90s. It was seen in several panels during military exercises conducted by Gen. Hawk. However aside from the Monster Blaster and Cyber-Viper no other Mega-Marines or Monsters were featured in the comic. The Monster Blaster had all sorts of bells and whisles, from the lock and load missile launcher to the elevating hatch for storing six Joe's. The vehicle features opening hatch for the driver, a swivel turret for the gunner and two pivoting rear gunners stations in back. The Monster Blaster is the ultimate weapon for fighting genetically engineered monsters. |
Great vehicle!

Thanks for sharing your collection. I don't own any of these figures or vehicles, so it was good to see each of them close up with a review. I'm looking forward to more 90's sub-team reviews!

Thanks Marty I'm glad you enjoyed them. I have more 90s sub teams and what not coming down the pipe and a few that are out of this world ;) |
I would love to see the molded bio armor in action! That’s such a sweet concept! I remember the first time I found out about play doh was when my brother brought home the play doh factory. It was really cool.
Hmmm, gung ho looks so different without his exposed chest. He almost looks like dr. mindbender. The helmet looks very cool for a 90s helmet. Sorry you are missing most of the accessories. Sorry if ya don’t mind me asking but I’m having a hard time finding the #1 on gung ho’s armor. Thanks. Blast off looks pretty badass even with those 90s bright neon colors. You know when you’re a kid, you don’t mind those neon psychedelic colors but as an adult, I can’t help feeling dizzy from all the brightness lol! Blast off sure is packing a lot of heat! Helmet even though orange looks cool. I always liked those missile launchers. Again, I’d love to see the play doh armor and missiles in action! I’m not digging the color scheme on clutch. It just looks dry and boring. And the green doesn’t make sense with the orange and yellow and black. Yikes, it looks like a color disaster. The weapons are cool. How come blast off only came with one missile and clutch came with two? That’s cool that the joe figures had machetes back then. Mirage was a cool o-ring figure. I had it in another paint job. The visor was my favorite part. The armor especially on the legs and feet was very awesome. Nice that he came with a lot of big guns. And that baby blue paint looks great. For the third time, I really hope you update this mega marines review with pictures of the play doh armor and missiles. The cyber vipers look badass even with all that splash of colors that look straight out of a salad! Cyber vipers look futuristic and somewhat post apocalyptic. It would be terrific to see them in more realistic colors. The mask/visor looks cool, I really love the single shoulder pad sticking out, and the gray gun looks interesting. I also like how his legs are different colors and styles. I like how he has one machine hand and one human hand. Tons of weapons. That’s what I loved about the 90s figures. And of course the missile launchers. “missile really shoots!” Mega vipers, you know the color scheme doesn’t really bother me. Heck, for me the cyber viper colors and clutch colors are worse but that’s just my opinion. I really like the oval circular shape of the mega viper visor. For me, the colors kind of work. I like the way the green-yellow and pink is distributed throughout the body. Bio-Viper looks massive and bloody awesome. The tentacles action feature sounds freaking cool. The monster smell, not so much. Really like the scales detail on the skin and the color scheme. The sculpting on the head make the eyes look fierce and angry. Bio viper would make an excellent army builder! Where’s the GUT BOMB from the monstro viper??? I really want to see that excrement bomb! Sounds hilarious. Reminds me of the giant mutated hamster from the movie, The Nutty Professor. That giant hamster shoots its poop like missiles! The monstro viper does look terrifying. I like that it has tufts of fur spread and dispersed throughout its body. The face and eyes look scary. The mace club is awesome. Another excellent army builder. Say hello to the sasquatch monster! I had the monster blaster. I remember my mother getting it for me at toysrus. I was always more into vehicles than figures. Too bad I had no figures to use with my monster blaster. It was a great vehicle though. Lots of space and tons of weapons. That canopy for the driver was awesome and sleek looking. The foot pegs on the sides and back were cool. The missile launcher mechanism was a lot of fun though you have to wonder just how the figures reloaded the missile launcher lol! |
These are great figures! I have all except Cyber Viper. I gave Blast Off the flamethrower from Marauder.
