    8" scale helicopter, car, and figures at Toys R' Us

    Spotted these yesterday. I imagine the scale choice is due to the GIJoe Sigma 6 line. I hope more knockoff/crap-toy companies make more stuff if that's the case. Figures are crap, and the sadly the heads are too small to transfer over, though they might scale to Lion Rocks okay. But the vehicles might thrill someone. The car is 19.99, and the helicopter is 24.99, and different boxes had different figures included. The brand is 'Elite Operations.' I wish they'd used a different chopper design though.

    I also hope they make a jet plane in this scale, like they have for their smaller sets.

    One FYI, three of the 3 3/4 scale sets have been recalled due to the use of lead-based paint or sharp edge concerns, but that's it as far as I know.

      that copter has some interesting possibilities (Batman wouldnt have to fly around in the Mego bumper car version anymore).

      Looks like there is a lot of weapons for customs fodder in those kits too.

      Heck, you could even repaint the figures for background thugs/cops/etc.

        Yes, I saw these at TRU not long ago. I really like them as custom fodder... problem is I don't know EXACTLY how I'd use them. Still, they are excellent, and may someday come into play. I think I will try to snap them up when they go on clearance, cause I don't think they'll sell as well as Sigma 6 (of which they're a knock off, of course).

        Who's got ideas?????????????

            ^^^ Is the helicopter big enough for 9 inch figures? If so, Batman's got a new ride.

                The car would be good for Action Jackson, and there are more than a few guys here that have done customs of the Adventure team in Mego scale.

                  The suv looks really small,
                  I wish American plastic would release the hummer again.

                      Any chance yoiu can get a pic of the dune buggy? What colors does it come in? I've had some desire for a Mego scaled Dune Buggy lately.

                        Yeah I got some of those I was going to order More But the window for ordering summer toys was past.
                        I gave one as a mego Meet prize with 2 figures.
                        The one I have is light green body with a royal blue chassie, and BIG puddle stomper tires.

                        the copter is hard plastic so customizing it should be easier.

                            T-bolt,

                            IMO 9" figs are to big... I really think standard megos are also to big... Definately Lionrock custom material. However the jump-pack looks perfect for my 40K Space Marine I have on the workbench.
                            Don't be sorry. How would you know? You've been watching MTV all your life.

                              If you can squeeze a 12 inch figure in it,Than 9inch should also fit!
