Those are well KEWL.

I thought World Peacekeepers were a super cheapo line. That figure is boss!!! Can you dig up more? I would love to see other styles and colours.

Well spotted as always!

Anyone see this before? Looks pretty damn kool

Thats really cool id get a few of those

They are based on a Chinese cartoon. I haven't seen these available yet other than eBay. I was hoping they would show up at Big Lots like the other figures that company does (the cheapo figures).

M&C Toy Centre Ltd.
Here are the rest of the figures and vehicles in the line.

The old website I had bookmarked was changed to soccer toys.
I found their new one for these. And they have a new mobile mastiff.

LordMudd · 12-08-2015, 12:25 PM

Got this Imaginext set for, well you get the picture.

I am also into Universal Monsters in 4" scale. This Pyramid playset I found at the Houston Museum of Natural Science is in perfect scale.

CCC.

ukmu · 12-08-2015, 02:26 PM

Well cool LM, what Imaginext set is that? Can we see the front?

Arch, those are really nice! I dig them, are you getting one to test the waters to see how they scale?

Sweet baby Jesus their beautiful! If those showed up at big lots I'd get the whole set several times over

LordMudd · 12-08-2015, 07:23 PM

The only other pic I have of it in Photobucket. Called the Wizard's something (tower, castle, lair, whatever.).

CCC.

theArchivist · 12-08-2015, 09:23 PM

Check out the dungeon on that tower. its the Castle Greyskull dungeon sculpt.

EDIT: found a picture.

Ninjinister · 12-09-2015, 12:03 AM

How the poop do you get GI Joe character legs to pop onto those dang metal hip joints?

EDIT: NM... just ended up unscrewing the legs.

Pilkster · 12-09-2015, 04:42 AM

The black armour would be great for red skull and the little speeder bike would be great for Hawkeye.

Captain Action prototypes

ukmu · 12-09-2015, 11:21 PM

I heart BossFightStudios.......

theArchivist · 12-10-2015, 06:23 AM

Isn't that the truth! There are in collaboration with ZICA toys. I know Boss Fight designed the CA Head and body but ZICA did the heads for Captain Evil and Action Jackson. The Kickstarter should start in January for these with a couple more figures added that have not been announced yet.

Speaking of Kickstarter there is a campaign ening in the next 2 days for a Shark Hunter creature if anyone is interested. It has already met its goal. Kind of a retro form factor with modern sculpting and painting.

Another reveal today.

Jet Jungle. I'm not familiar with the character yet but I like the look of the figure. Has an Aquaman feel to him.

ukmu · 12-10-2015, 10:07 AM

I really like the retro Kenner look to 3.75" figures. I know a lot of people here don't like the ReAction line, but I really like them. I don't really buy any but I do like them. I did get a Freddy and Jason last Christmas for my (then) 8 year old son. Because every young lad needs a Jason and Freddy in their school bag!

theArchivist · 12-10-2015, 11:23 AM

I like some of the ReAction figures. Some are certainly better than others. The humans are what suffered the most from the soft sculpts. But I'm a glutton for anything 1:18ish scale...
Funko is coming out with a new 1:18 scale line of figures that will be more modern properties and better sculpts and articulation (9POA). No details more than that have been provided though.
More info will be provided at Toy Fair as to what properties were granted this treatment.

Mezco did a Freddy and Jason a while back in their Cinema of Fear line.
But with a lot of Mezco figures their hip pegs are subject to easy breakage

Gosh dang it, why does it have to be 5 POA! Maybe it's because I'm a kid so I can't understand the nostalgia factor's behind it but its so annoying when I find a really cool figure kickstarter that I really wanna back but it has that retro articulation that just ruins it for me.

So what's with the fists? Do they come with interchangeable hands for their weaponry?

ukmu · 12-11-2015, 02:58 AM

Maybe they are just angry a lot?
