LIked the hat though. They have some cool ideas for molded-on gear I must say. Too bad the figures suck |

Green outfit, beard... Indeed they suck as figures. Sculpt is very detailed tho, so for just a buck you'll get a bunch of weapons, a useful gearhead, and a ton of pockets to cut and paste on your joes The rip off of Beachead is awesome. He's called "Justin Case" LoL (no joke)

That's awesome. Kenny's getting love! I don't know too much about them, but I'm pretty sure they were from the UK. That's sick man! Nice work on this and the BAT! |

Oh there are others too. Too many to name honestly.

They were all funny, and had the O-ring construction style very much like the ARAH joes. Back then they weren't blatant rip-offs, they actually had some very original ideas for the figures. Its only after they copied the VvV/ST style of figure that they started the blatant ripoffs. |

Pity they went for the cheap way, and didn't do removable gear. Quote:
I saw somewhere a character named Frank Einstein Quote:

I had some, but the only one i still have is the Gas Man! That lime green bastard was really though, since nothing broke of. They're showing up here, with a chain key holder on their heads. I bought a bunch of them (something like 0.25 or 0.30 cents) and replaced a lot of Joes O-rings. The previous "Wave" of these key holders were a bunch of slaughterhouse-style figures, made of different joe parts. One of them was a rather awesome bbi figure that i instantly bought (oddly, it has the ball articulation on the legs).

Like one arm different from the other lol Some of them also have custom casted torsos. I have a blue Tunel rat torso, and a lime green and pink Lifeline torsos. The others are Heavy duty (sveral), and some guy with a small tank on the chest. the heads seem original tho, got like 4 Nunchuks (with the black fabric and all), Bushido, Ken, and some others. Interesting but not really useful to me.
