J.T. Marsh Aerial Attack E-Frame-Exo Squad, Playmates Meat and Potatoes; 5.0 Perks; 5.0 Homer Factor; 5.0
				Description; Ah, COOOOOOOOOOOL powered armor.  The J. T. Marsh figure is approximately 3" tall and dressed in a jump-suit of orange and green.  The armor itself, called an e-frame... well, think of the loader from 'Aliens' but on steroids, with folding wings, and tons o' weapons.  Ooooohhhh.  The e-frame is 5" tall, grey with blue high-lights.  The e-frame is covered with wonderful details; panels, vents, thursters, missiles, guns, the works.
	'Exo-Squad?'  Ah, one of the forgotten toy-lines from the '90s.  The toy-line was based upon a short-lived syndicated cartoon series.  Basic stuff; humans, aliens, rebellion, lots of bad-ass weapons, blah, blah, blah.  However, taking a cue from 'MS Gundam' among others, the emphasis was on continuity and creating characters you cared about.  So what's the big deal about the toys?  Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh.  The main weapons were basically powered armor, knows as e-frames.  Good start, right?  It was a GREAT start and a great finish....  Meat and potatoes?  Oh boy... this piece is amazing.  Usually, when you create a piece of powered armor, something falls short; less detail on the 'pilot's' figure, the armor looks lame, no accessories, something.  Granted, over-all a good figure, but the armor just doesn't quiiiiiiiiiite meet up to expectations.  Well, this SURPASSES expectations.  The articulation and sculpting on the J. T. Marsh figure alone is the usual amazing Playmates job; umpteenth points of articulation leading to a ton o' posing possibilities.  What makes this piece rock even more is the e-frame; tons to detail in the sculpt, with panel lines, vents, and other little extras all over the place.  AND, the articulation is exceptional.  Ok, so the piece isn't going to be doing splits.  Nonetheless, the range of motion on the arms and legs is very impressive.  Perks?  Oh yeah, babe.  You want perks?  Ok.  We have missiles that fire, we have an assortment of little weapons that J. T. Marsh can handle, we got even a funky little 'clicky' noise on the auto-cannon on the right arm.  ...ok, FORGET that one.  You still have a ton o' very cool extras to keep you very busy for a long time. Homer Factor?  Well, bad news is the cartoon series was only available in syndication, i.e. good luck finding out when this was being broadcast in your area.  There goes one very big source of exposure.  However, from talking to a few folks who saw it, they were very impressed with the story-line and the over-all work involved.  And, being from Playmate, you could expect a very nice piece of work. In the end, this was a rocking piece to have on your shelf; great craftsmanship from a very cool animated series.  Granted, not as long-lasting as say 'The Transformers' or 'G.I. Joe,' but still a very good piece of work.
