And the Winner is
ExoSquad.
I wish this toy line still existed, it was one of my favorites from the 90's. This is the best toy line that Playmates has ever done to date. They are on the same level of quality as Coleco was with its whole line of toys and games. ExoSquad gave me the same feeling that Starcom, of the 80's, gave me, quality and imaginative design. When this toy line died, I was in the dark because it was still hitting the stores in my area, so I was able to collect most things including the rare Neosapien Warriors, NeoCat and NeoLord. I still have these two but only one each, so I left them on the card. I also obtained an Exo Squad, Troop Transport Light Attack E-Frame. Which was very hard to find in my area, but not as hard as the Neosapien Warriors. The Troop Transport was the piece I was anxious to get, but it turned out to be a disapointment. I'm sure it was because the toy line was nearing cancellation and they just rushed it. The Troop Transports paint scheme was all wrong, so I just gave it a new one and was very pleased with the outcome.
The Jumptroop figures that came carded are some of the best detailed figures to be found and can be found still, if you look very hard. ExoSquad can still be found here and there, in particular Kaybee is a good place to check. The images and information tend to grow as the days pass till the next "Toy of the Month", so please stop by every once in a while and you'll be pleased to see more information here about ExoSquad.
