Help Update the Argentina Archive!

[Monzo]

Hey, Stil! That's a great list! But I'm wondering - could you change it to list the Argentinean character names, too? Like Agente Secreta SPARTA, or Cobra de Hielo NINJA? I think a lot of people confuse the foreign military jobs with the character names... I can remember when YoJoe used to list Antorcha as Lanza Llamas, for instance.

[Monzo]

Hmm... okay, after digging around online, I've come up with this list of Argentinean military specialties/codenames, based on Stil's toy list.

First Wave (1988/89)
_ Ranger CHEETAH (Stalker)
_ Cobra Invasor EL ENEMIGO (Snake-Eyes)
_ Oficial de Inteligencia SCARLETT (Scarlett)
_ Frente de Batalla FRONT (Grunt)
_ Cobra ENEMIGO (Cobra Soldier)

_ Cobra Mortal EL ENEMIGO (Not in catalog - Argentinian exclusive)
_ Copiloto de Helicopteros GLENDA (Not in catalog - Argentinian exclusive)
_ Comando Paracaidista MANLEH (Not in catalog - Argentinian exclusive)
_ Comando Estrategico SHIMIK (Not in catalog - Argentinian exclusive)
_ Comando de Espionaje REDMACK (Not in catalog - Argentinian exclusive)
_ Comando de Comunicaciones TOPSON (Not in catalog - Argentinian exclusive)

Vehicle Drivers
_ FALCON PILOTO: Ala Delta Camuflada GIJOE (Falcon Glider, V1: Tan Grunt included as pilot, V2: Tan Ripcord included as pilot - Not in catalog)
_ COBRA PILOTO: Ala Delta Camuflada Cobra (Viper Glider, Cobra Soldier included as pilot - Not in catalog)

Second Wave (1990/91)
_ Médico S.O.S. (Doc)
_ Lanza-llamas ANTORCHA (Blowtorch)
_ Agente Secreta SPARTA (Covergirl)
_ Destro FUERA DE LA LEY (Destro)
_ Cobra de Hielo NINJA (Stormshadow)
_ Soldado Halcón SOKERK (V1: Tan Grunt, V2: Tan Ripcord)
_ Mercenario CALAVERA (Torch)
_ Red Cobra SATAN (Argentinian exclusive)
_ Cobra Black NINJA-KU (Argentinian exclusive)

Third Wave (1991/92)
_ Quick-Kick SIGILO (Quick Kick)
_ Comando Paracaidista ALADO (Crazylegs)
_ Capitan del Aire CONDOR (Airborne)
_ Soldado de Asalto FUEGO (Rip Cord)
_ Escalador de Montaña RISCO (Alpine)
_ Infantería Pesada COYOTE (Footloose)
_ Cobra Hombre-Rana COBRA DE AGUA (Eels)

Yes, it inexplicably appears that "Destro" is the *specialty* of the character named Fuera de la Ley, while "Quick-Kick" is the specialty of the character named Sigilo.

Anyway, that leaves the following characters whose Argentinean names or specialties I could not confirm, so... anyone have access to the backer cards or boxes for any of these guys? Or the filecards?

First Wave (1988/89)
Figures
_ Oficial de Comunicaciones (Breaker)
_ Soldado Bazooka (Zap)
_ Soldado Laser (Flash)
_ Soldado Mortero (Short-Fuze)
_ Soldado Ametralladora (Rock'n Roll)
_ Oficial Cobra (Cobra Officer)

Vehicle Drivers
_ ???: Cobra HISS (HISS, Cobra Soldier included as pilot)
_ ???: Turbo Submarino Aereo SHARC (S.H.A.R.C. Flying Submarine, Deep Six included)

Second Wave (1990/91)
_ Soldado de la Selva (Recondo)

Vehicle Drivers
_ ???: Jet de Combate XP-14F Skystriker (Combat Jet Skystriker XP-14F, Tan Grunt included as pilot)

Third Wave (1991/92)
_ Comando Anti-Fuego (Barbecue)
_ Flint (Flint)

By the way, I didn't see Back-Stop or the Persauder listed anywhere... what wave do they go in?

Hi there, great idea Monzo, when I have a little time I'll update the ones who you are mention; also will scan the filecards for some Figures and Vehicle Drivers.

Oh, filecard scans would be great, Stil! It seems to be much harder to find scans of Argentinean filecards online than Brazilian ones... I've been trying to collect them all on my computer, but it's been difficult. If I make a list of the ones I can't find, can you see if you have them?

By the way, Stil, I'm confused about something - do you know why these Cobra filecards are so different? They're both supposed to be from Argentina.

The first one is from the regular carded figure of the Cobra Soldier, the second one can be from the HISS driver or the Viper Glider Pilot.
Tell me which ones you need?
Regards!

[Monzo]

Ah, that tan and red filecard must be the Cobra Soldier/HISS driver filecard - the Viper Glider Pilot had a yellow filecard and was called "Cobra Piloto". http://www.yojoe.com/international/a...dercobra.shtml

These are the filecards I can't find... I don't think they're anywhere on the internet! YoJoe DOES have the cardbacks and card-fronts for a few of these toys, but either the backs are too small to read (like Sigilo and Sgto. Slaughter), or they have scans of the front but not the back (like Front and Ninja).

Wave 1
Oficial de Comunicaciones, Soldado Bazooka, Soldado Laser, Soldado Ametralladora, Frente de Batalla FRONT, Oficial Cobra, Turbo Submarino Aereo SHARC pilot, Cobra Piloto (Ala Delta Camuflada)

Wave 2
Lanza-llamas ANTORCHA, Cobra de Hielo NINJA, Soldado de la Selva, Jet de Combate XP-14F Skystriker pilot

Wave 3
Sgto. Slaughter, Quick-Kick SIGILO, Comando Anti-Fuego, Flint, Capitan del Aire CONDOR

If you could scan any of these, Stil, that would be great!

Thanks again!
