Despite having one of the most insufferably cutesy code names, Justin Case is one of my favorites of the later o-ring Corps! molds. Like many of his line mates, he was repainted and repackaged for a variety of series. The STAR Force sub-line presented him in a very unique color…
Justin Case, owner of one of the goofiest code names in the Lanard CORPS! line (and that's saying something) made another appearance as part of the STAR Force line of astronaut styled action figures. He looks quite dapper in white and silver, especially when photographed against a 70s Kenner-esque backdrop.…
Now, before you roll your eyes at the name, consider the figure before you. As a Lanard CORPS! character, one might expect something along the lines of a GI Joe of the 80s. Speaking of which, although this figure was released in the late 90s, it carries a real 80s…
Nice how his massive sound-attack backpack is easily removable. The QC tag sortof looks like it has a big “X”; maybe he wasn’t the right color for the Lazer Force?
As a Joe lover, I’ve always hated the CORPS! figures. I just don’t like the construction, accessories and anything about them. They just seem like really, really cheap knock offs. The fact that many friends and acquaintances have said they had a set of “G.I. Joe’s” to give me that turned out to be nothing but CORPS! has also soured me on them greatly.
But, I have to admit that if I had kids in the days when these and Joes shared the shelves, I would have probably bought them many, many CORPS! figures. The great amount of gear and eye catching design would have surely made me a fan. When I saw the lower price point, I would have been sold and my kids would have played with the two lines in concert.

I remember getting more CORPS figures as a kid as most of my reletives couldnt tell the differance and secondaly they were more affordable. I remember getting the CORPS figure “Junkyard” when i asked for Mutt.
I would advise not to open him too. That version of Mr Case is made of gold plastic
One of the nicer Corps figures. I have the dark grey version.

They’re still not for me, though.
