Remco Mighty Crusaders - The Fox (Loose)

The one thing that stands out to me about this figure is his handle. The Fox! Off the bat I'm thinking covert, sneaky but deadly. According to the card back profile, Paul Patton is a freelance photographer who is skilled in the martial arts and is considered to be a living weapon. I love this guy already! He screams "Solo Mission!" Here he is all decked out with accessories. Luckily, the figure stood the test of time and came out in one piece. The holster was pretty stiff out of the packaging but nothing a blow dryer couldn't fix. Overall I'm very pleased. I love the costume design and color scheme. He's like a cross between Black Panther and The Phantom. Also, that yellow logo rocks!  I also love the fact that he's able to carry all of his accessories. The rifle strap fits nicely around his torso and the blaster fits snug into the oversized holster. The shield doubles as a whistle and works great. I tried it๐Ÿ˜ And then my dog start

That lasted only 7 issues and then in 1983 Archie Comics affiliated Red Circle Comics revived the series. REMCO then produced an action figure line. The Fox is my favorite of the  8 that saw releases. I paid a little more than what I wanted to for it but I just had to have a complete specimen. The card back, even in poor condition is also nice to have for reference. I'
