Continuing on with the 90’s theme,today we have everybody’s favorite masked (or in this case not so masked) swordsman Don Diego A.K.A. Zorro! Here is a figure i knew nothing about until one day while looking at some of the older vintage Zorro figures on line, these 1990’s version of Zorro’s made by Playmates popped up .I thought what better way to start my 1990’s collection of action figures than with Zorro!Granted there were other versions of him from this line but something about this one really stood out to me.I think the battle scars and wrapped arms is what did it for me, and needless to say he now adorns my(very small) 1990’s section of action figures.As much as i like this figure there are some things about it that kind of bug me.For starters- the fact that the arm which holds the sword is permanently straight and outward.It would have been cool if he would have been able to hold it out in front of him. The arm does twist around but that’s about it.The other thing is that this is Zorro and i think that his trademark black mask should have at least been painted on.Other than those two beefs everything else about this figure IMO is pretty cool.The “slashing sword” feature is pretty cool and can be activated by turning the wheel on Zorros back.I really like this line and might have to go looking for other versions of him.Enjoy the pics!
Classic!
Thanks jb 😉 !

I don’t think I’ve ever run across that or any of the figures from that line!
I hadn’t either BDD but when i saw it i just had to pick it up.BTW-Great Galactus figure,i’m still having trouble leaving comments on your site.I’m wondering if the problem is on my end? 😦
Dunno…I had issues leaving a reply to a couple of people. Had to reload the page a few times. 😦
Zorro has been using steroids I see… lol! It would have been cool if they included the mask or if it was “painted on” as you stated. That Classic Zorro looks cool as does the Barbed Wire Zorro.
Good eye JDub!Those are the two i’m really digging!
