ACTION FORCE 1985 (THIRD SERIES)
SCRAP IRON
Scrap Iron
Cobra Anti-Armour Specialist.
Born: Lima, Peru.
Scrap Iron designs and tests Destro’s weapons. Careful and precise, he expects everything to be perfect. Dreams of one day destroying the world.
Scrap Iron came with a handgun and an anti tank missile launcher. The launcher came in six parts (including the remote activator/wire trigger) and had two red missiles with it. I really like the idea of this figure and the accessories he came with.
