Not to mention the Charlie Brown figure.

Seriously, I can't be the only person who thinks this line is the lamest shit ever, right?

ShabbyBlue · 11-03-2021, 04:46 PM

Yeah and "Frank Walsh" vaguely resembles Jack Burton from Big Trouble in Little China, and "Maverick" is definitely based on Barry Bostwick's character from the 1980s movie Megaforce, and "Leon Kelly" is probably supposed to be Black Dynamite

Tony_Bacala · 11-03-2021, 04:59 PM

I'm down with the Blockhead fig.

Riddick · 11-03-2021, 05:14 PM

I think these are awesome.

I really want the Mario, Luigi and Charlie Brown.

CameronFrye · 11-03-2021, 05:19 PM

There’s a few British Action Force references in there. Characters such as Baron Ironblood, Red Shadow troopers and also the Kraken action figure. Brings back some fond memories. I’ll stick with my originals though!

Dolemite · 11-03-2021, 07:06 PM

Possibly the gayest character ever?

jabalong · 11-03-2021, 07:56 PM

So much awesomeness!

icematta · 11-03-2021, 07:59 PM

We need more Monster Force, I already preordered them, but I need more...

NeoDarwinian · 11-03-2021, 08:42 PM

I love the Danny Trejo headsculpt but that gold suit ruins it. Give me a Trejo from any of his movie appearances and I'm down though

NeoDarwinian · 11-03-2021, 08:43 PM

The Jackie Chan head ain't bad either, but again, not a fan of the gold

niknak96 · 11-03-2021, 08:51 PM

Not much of a fan of the gold figures but I've got my preorder in on the not Red Shadows figures and the Monster Force figures. I hope the figures can each hit the 500 necessary to move forward.

Sean C · 11-03-2021, 09:09 PM

Retro Eagle Force I understand. Though not much appeal to me.
Joke figures at $27 each, like Mario and Luigi? Shouldn't Blockhead have a beagle?

He will come with a dog at least.

IzzyTipsy · 11-04-2021, 05:57 AM

Are these 3.75 Joe/Star Wars compatible? Because some of these would be hilarious to through in a Joe diorama.

That's fine if I'm in the minority. If you're happy, that's awesome. Enjoy!

I was trying to figure out if there were homages I didn't know, thanks for those. One of them, Baron Von Chill, seems to have a head that looks a lot like Ed Harris as well but I don't recognize the outfit.

Yeah, I 100% think that he's Black Dynamite. Same hair, moustache, kung-fu chop alternate hands, and a pair of nunchucks. The only thing he's missing is a great big revolver.

He's an homage to a story in the old Marvel GI Joe comic. Destro and Cobra Commander are on the run and in disguise. For some reason, CC dressed like a sleazy porn director.

EDIT: If the beret is removable, he could make a passable Father Guido Sarducci.

I think he's supposed to be Black Belt Jones, not Black Dynamite. He's definitely patterned after Jim Kelly, not Michael Jai White.

40th anniversary of Eagle Force? I never even heard of this toyline. Was this some GI Joe knockoff?

It came out before the 3 3/4" GI Joe. These were smaller and made of diecast. It was the last toyline Mego made before going out of business so most of these went straight to closeout stores.
