Remco Sgt. Rock Appreciation Thread

[TrueDave]

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 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 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.

[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.

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.

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

I saw them in toy city back in the mid eighties, Irwin released them.
