Remco Sgt. Rock Appreciation Thread

[The Sentry]

God, I love these toys, I have a whole lot of loose peices now. Only had Sgt. Rock then.

Remco had some great stuff when I was little. Sgt. Rock would fight the Universal Monsters, the help GI Joe beat on Cobra, and helped the Hulk jack some stuff Baron Karza a few times too!

Yeah, I was a caaaaaaaaa-razy kid.

I never saw these on the toy store shelves of Western Canada, otherwise I'm sure I would have picked some of them up...if for no other reason than the Kubert artwork on the packaging, and the fact that I kinda saw Remco as the Mego wannabe of the eighties.

I had a bunch of Sgt. Rock figures as a kid. Still have a few from back then. I have often thought about picking up some carded examples but have yet to go there. Cool line.

I bought a bunch of Sgt Rocks as a kid. Just Rock. It was my firts attempt at "army Building" as nice as the First wave of GI Joe RAH was I wanted WW2 guys.

I REALLY should have been born in England. ACTION FORCE

I find it interesting that DC's actual logo is featured so prominently on the packaging. That certainly wasn't the type of thing that was common back then.

It's the best thing about the series IMO.

I had tons of them, they had these in 4 pack mailers at the flea market for a buck.very poor quality, and the back pockets? we can't sit down sarge....

I'd have never noticed this but I've read somewhere that a lot of the military equipment Sarge comes with is modern day, yet the character was set in WW2.

Or right huge open pockets. WHY?

STill with a little work you make some Last Starfighter customs out of those sucky enough no one would ever see them.

If you remember most of the accessories had a hook (Knives,Radios, and Grenades) so you could hang them on the pocket.

Is the Rock figure in scale with GI Joe RAH?

Yes thanks to my army building attempt my Joes had plenty of extra Grease Guns.

I had that Action Machine Gun Nest set when I was a kid. I think I had another figure or two from this line.

I remember seeing tons of them on sale at kaybee as late as 1985-86

I had the machine gun nest,and a bunch of figures too used them as background filler-Also had the generic bad guy figures that remco made from the same molds(just repaints)-I really liked remco's assorted lines from the 80's
