    Playing Mantis Action Jacksons are so bad...

    When the PM AJ's came out I bought up several of them in the hopes of using them for customs but the bodies were so bad I give up on them. But the accessories where nice.

    Well a few days ago I found a few unopen boxes of PM AJ's in a closet and to show you how bad these figures were....



    And if that wasn't bad enough



    I had two boxes with headless agents. Their little heads just popped right off in the boxes. After opening the boxes I discovered the rubber bands holding the figures together had snapped. Oh well, now I've got body parts for my zombie diaoroma.

          Yeah, mine are breaking up too. I love the spy accessories though!

                          I actually don't know anything about these. Were they reproductions of the Mego AJ line?

                                  It is such ashame too. They were actually close to being great. If the bodies worked better they would have been nice. The heads were decent and the clothes and accessories were nice. The worst part is, these were the model for more figure and lines in this scale. Had they done well we could have seen alot more.

                                      More like "inspired By" action Jackson

                                      bodies were not mego style and were closer to 9 inch with large hands and very muscular build. face was kinda goofy too but not as bad as our old frein AJ. Each one came dressed in an outfit with nice accories.

                                          Wow, Bat that is a great looking figure.

                                          Spotter nailed the description of the figures Del. While the figures sucked the accessories were nice and they work well with Megos.

                                              the hands are a good replacement for Superjoe's (if you can get them out of the AJ arm socket without braking them)
