I think I have this one, actually.  I'm sure I do.  He came with a little pipsqueak Kangaroo that was unpainted, right?

Always hated how cheap Playmates was with their paint jobs, and still freaking is.

Yeah, he has a little, solid orange roo guy. I thought about doing him as well but I didn't feel like figuring out his colors. This image could be before he met Walkabout or something.

I hate how the refusal of paint application on pack in characters carried into the Earthworm Jim line as well.  That was worse.  You had to choose between an inaccurate red Snot for accurate colored weapons, or inaccurate green weapons for Snot.

I always thought about painting Snot's eyes.

A mutated Aussie roo was such a epic idea, Playmates sure knew how to have fun with the merchandise. Also, nice Foster's can ref. *The How to Speak Australian thing for G.P.S. is a fun one to watch.* Though I doubt if that roo needs any stinkin' G.P.S.

Oh yeah, that was the Foster's slogan. I've heard real Aussies don't care much for Foster's. I really liked Playmates different mutant characters. They used to pull the from all sorts of different TMNT material.

Dunno if that saying is true for the Aussie's. I mean if you are stuck an island that *going from what I heard* is halfway to mostly desert, then you would want anything to wet down a parched throat. Even a Foster's. But that is just what I would think. Foster's ain't bad but I too a liking to Busch and Shiner. If you want a rougher beer, try Arrogant Bastard or Dead Guy.

Back to your piccy now; did Walkabout ever make an appearance in Mutanimal's?

Heh... I usually drink Milwaukee's Best Ice.... heh.

I don't think Walkabout appeared in anything. I think he was just an action figure.

I might Milwaukee's Best Ice if we carry it here.

And that is too bad that roo didn't appear in the comic; he might have made for another neat character.

I dunno why they never used him, but oh well. Maybe he'll make a come back.

That would be cool if they ever did bring him back.

I saw that Ace Duck got a slight mention in the new cartoon so maybe Walkabout is on the way.

The pic itself is really nice, with a great atmosphere of him waiting silently for something to shoot with aforementioned dope-looking orange gun.

He was another really cool looking figure. I remember that sweetly-designed orange gun.

I spent some time looking at his gun. It's not really as whacky as other figure's accessories.
