Great new Action figure line from Britain!

[Captain]

These figures just came out a short time ago, but were shown at the UK toy fair last winter. A great 10" action figure line, with scale vehicles that would make excellent Mego custom fodder. (especially the jet fighter...Batplane anyone?)
Sadly, they are not available over here (yet!). They also are a bit pricey. Havent been to Britian for about 2 years now, but last time I went the exchange rate was roughly 2 pounds to the dollar, so a 20 pound figure is $40.00 roughly.

UH, Emce NEEDS to do a few videos like that!
Emce also needs a cool website unless they are waiting to relaunch a great Mego one.
Which will need Videos!
They should do a contest.

I wish someone would create a "World 8in Action Figure" Standard so these things could be interchanged...

And I have to admit, I LOVED the Micronauts, and there are articulated toys in that size now so there should be a standard set to that scale too.


By the time any of this happens, I'll be in a Nursing Home and I'll need stuff to do.

To Be honest these figures are a bit Dire IMO and The stuff may be good for mego scale like the tank and plane but If the quality on the figures are any indication they are bad, the parachuteist is £25 and is completely moulded and has solid legs from the waist down, I would be cautios about getting these if I were you guys with out checking them out firat

Yikes! Thanks for the update Boris. I was going off of the little films to judge articulation, etc...from that view they looked pretty good. Of course...thats the point of the commercial isnt it!?

I can sort of understand the paratrooper having solid legs if the expectation is that kids will be dropping them from heights to see if the parachutes work (which they no doubt will...I would've), but that doesnt justify the cost.

Hey i got the Jet !, It was Market to J.C.Penny's about 5 years ago in there Wish Book
Under company name of Peterkins
The Light tank looks like a Modified Cherilea/sunny smile scorpian vehicle

[Boris71]

Some look ok but they are light on accessories for the basic doll at £15 only having a gun, and then the others go up to 25 to 30 for the figures and they are sparce IMO on accessories, and very expressionless faces, I was looking at these when I saw the ads but once they hit the shelves I was dissapointed and the whole 10" scale seems a bit odd to me
