Fair point, but it would have been a silly list to NOT include the most popular GPS figures in my opinion. In my MP list, I didn't include MP10 for that same reason, and I was met with similarly confused replies.Sabrblade wrote:I think omitting common victims of GPS and GPS-like syndromes would have made for a much more interesting list, as the common GPS victims kinda go without saying.

The others in this list I felt were more original and creative as well as informative. Otherwise, this whole list could have been comprised of casual GPS victims.
Though, that Supreme Cheetor in that honorable mentions pic doesn't look "broken" to me. He looks more like he just has several of his pieces popped off that could easily be popped back on.

You know does not have GPS and translucent plastic.

It is a similar issue, yes, but it seems to be a different yet eerily similarly fragile kind of brown plastic.william-james88 wrote:Kurona wrote:That's how I'd have done it anyway; still a nice list regardless
Thanks man!
I do have a question for both you and Sabr. Is the only reason TM2 Megs doesnt cont as GPS because the colour isnt gold? Because I find it to be a very similar issue.

Yeah, I think the TFWiki GPS article mentions that "Sparkly Plastic Syndrome" would be a better name. (BTW, that's where you'll find a good GPS figure list; or is there a more complete one elsewhere?) TM Megs is one of my fav BW designs, I even went out of my way to pick out the rare-ish pink/purple chrome variant when stores were overflowing with him in '98, and then years later, the exact same hinge in the pic broke on mine when I was attaching that Golden Disk reader accessory to show a friend. Got the Metals version, but still sealed in the 2-pack, and kicking myself for not buying the KO 2-pack I saw in a K-Mart Easter basket back in the Armada days; the colors were off, but it might still hold up today.Sabrblade wrote:It is a similar issue, yes, but it seems to be a different yet eerily similarly fragile kind of brown plastic.william-james88 wrote:Kurona wrote:That's how I'd have done it anyway; still a nice list regardless

I imagine if a figure made of blue or purple plastic were to be discovered to have the same kind of GPS-esque crumbling problem as GPS victims, it too would be categorized as a very similar but still different case by virtue of the plastic being different (and would likely be nicknamed something like "Blue Plastic Syndrome" or "Purple Plastic Syndrome" in this cases ).
