However, I'm considering increasing my backing as more figures get unlocked.

How do you feel about a 6" military line?
Does Action Force give you hope that us collectors can fill the void that GI JOE (HASBRO) just does not seem to be providing the fans?

I'd love to hear what levels others funded at and if a 6" military line excites you as a collector? I know I cannot wait to get my hands on them. I love 4" figures, but 6" is kinda the way of the future. Even Star Wars has killed their 4" mission figures in lieu of Vintage and 6" Black Series. How do you feel about Action Force?

For me, military lines (I include Starwars in this) are all about the vehicles. When I bought GI Joe stuff as a kid, it was all the real vehicles. I stopped once they started making ridiculous sci-fi vehicles. The only unrealistic stuff I ever got was the Terrordome w/ Firebat. Other than that, it was all realistic tanks, jeeps, SR71 blackbirds, helicopters, F14, etc.

6" lines for military figures take away the vehicles aside from motorcycles. That kills it for me for a lot of fun. If I wanted detailed soldiers, I'd go 1:6 scale. Some of those are amazing.

Thankfully, there are lines for everyone. Me, I got out of GI joe in the mid 90's and haven't looked back, started collecting marvel superheroes.
These Action Force figures do look well designed. Glad for those that want them!
