It's a toss up between Altitude and Drop Zone. But since this is best figure and not best character, I voted for Altitude. I don't use these two as is however. I swap Drop Zone's head with the 1991 Grunt figure to match with their characters. Altitude's body I use for an LBC Grand Slam |

I went with Airborne. I always liked his design and colors. Altitude would be a close second.. from there everyone else looks like space figures. |

Airborne, probably one of the greatest repaints ever in my opinion. Drop Zone also had a great design, but much more retro, almost a Crimson Skies or Sky Captain look. |

I went with Static Line, although a close second would've been Drop Zone. Really, I liked the whole team, and thought that it was a great concept figurewise. Instead of just repainting existing characters, they created new characters with repainted uniforms and new headsculpts. From a business standpoint it made perfect sense -- minimal effort for maximum result. I know what sounds a little cheap, but hey, it worked, and essentially created six new characters, and an impressive team. |

Skydive for me. He has one of the most distinctive headsculpts in the line. The other characters tended to blend together, with all the alliteration in their names. Still probably the best sub-team/repaint line they ever did! |

Altitude is my favorite. Airborne might have been, but the use of another character's code name always irked me. Drop Zone is also high on the list. Then there's a big gap... and then the remaining characters are just silly. |

Airborne. Cool colour scheme and he looks mean. He should've gotten a different name though. The other members are also very nice, too bad Airwave's gun is oversized. Tim 121RVC |

I'm totally biased but I love Static Line. I love what he did to prove the worth of the Backstop mold. The head's distinct too, one of the few African Joes with hair and no headwear. |

Sky Patrol Airporne IS my Airborne. I didn't even really *know* about the original Airborne until as an adult. Everything about Sky Patrol Airborne is awesome- repaint, head sculpt, helmet, gun, awesomest file card. |
