Wild Arctic Preservation Mission Playset

Great set with a great looking figure, a fantastic searchlight vehicle also present in Wild Quest 2 Deep Expedition Gorilla Tracking.

A great set here. Figures, animals and vehicles, they are all right in the money.

Maybe it´s just me, but this alignment of items reminds me of the middle 80s G.I.Joe (and other lines) golden age.

Included items.

Included accessories.

Animals. A wolf and what seems to be a type of lynx. Maybe the extinct Lynx issiodorensis, but I may be completely off.

Figures.

When reviewing the Vikings Warrior Playset - Bearskin Jarl post, I made reference to this figure here.

"Wild Arctic" figure very similar to the 2002 G.I.Joe "Snow Serpent" and later "Snow Wolf" in 2004 for the Valor Vs Venom line and movie concepts." This guy does actually look like a Cobra trooper. Agressive-looking, and yet, the chosen fluorescent color makes him somehow a prospector instead of a hunter. Wild Arctic theme had another variation of this figure in a "brick" color.

The other figure. Also present in the "Wild Arctic Mammoth Transporter Playset".

Another very interesting figure, a lot more scientist-looking. The jacket logo is very similar to Bering´s.

Cage. Present in a lot of themes and subsequential sets.

Searchlight vehicle.

2 ways of turning on the light on this one. Either sliding the switch and it maintains itself on...

Or you activate the top switch which keeps the light on just while you press it. Also, an extra "yellow cover" for the light.

The "Snowmobile".

Detail shots.

Moving steering bar. For better figure poses.

Removable fan attaches to figure´s back.

Scale shots.
