Remco Sgt. Rock Appreciation Thread

[palitoy]

I'm not really sure why i collect these, never read too many Rock comics but I am a huge fan of Joe Kubert so maybe that has something to do with it.

Whenever I have an extra $20 in my pocket I seem to scower ebay looking for deals on these guys.



For now I only collect Rock himself, seeing as none of easy company are a part of this series, the rest of his crew are generic.



The Play set is recycled from the Universal Monsters set and works just as well.

Anybody else an admirer of this line?

[Nostalgiabuff]

you know I have not seen these in years. I actually used to have some of them but had forgotten they were from Sgt. Rock. I thought the figures were crappy as a kid but used them with GI Joe's back in the day. They don't have enough articulation.

[palitoy]

I agree, I'm not overly fond of the figure itself either, just love the esthetic of the package.

I liked the line when it first came out, but like you was disapointed that the rest of easy company was not released also.

I really the playset. The artwork really sets it off.

[jwyblejr]

I remember seeing these in K-Mart back in the day. Never really thought anything about them.

Ha! I knew somebody would race here thinking it's a fake but no, I'm taking thius forum seriously again.

I was sorely tempted to buy this guy the other day because I've never seen him before.

I know these were released in Canada as I had many of them as a kid. Have you laid eyes on some Canuck Rocks, Brian? I wonder if Irwin released them

A friend of mine , Andy Price , went to the Joe Kubert school . It helped him incredibity in the business, He has done several comics and his art is incredible these days.

I spoke with Andy at Wonderfest this year. He has been setting up there for several years now. To say he's a very good artist is an understatement.
