Click that link Fresh Monkey left us.
Those look great, and thanks for answering all the compatibility questions with some great photos. Those are going to be Awesome. I need to raid Toys'r'Us for that last bit of True Heroes vehicles for Eagle Force and RIOT.

"Originally debuting in 1982, Eagle Force was a 3" die-cast action figure military-themed toy line created and designed by Bill Baron and Paul Kirchner. Even though only the initial assortment made it to toy shelves but it was enough to introduce us to Captain Eagle and his team of top military specialists with codenames such as Sgt. Brown, Big Bro', Harley, Turk and The Cat. They battled the evil forces of R.I.O.T. (Roving International Organization of Tyranny), lead by the evil General Mamba, assisted by Baron Von Chill, Beta Man the Arsonist, Nemesis the Saboteur, Savitar the Ninja, and an army of R.I.O.T. Shock Troopers. Fresh Monkey Fiction and Remco Toys are teaming up to bring back Eagle Force. The long retired Captain Eagle is recruited back into active duty by his old teammate General Brown. Together they’re recruiting the next generation of Eagle Force team members to combat the re-emerging forces of R.I.O.T., a terrorist organization driven by revenge and desire for global domination. These modern military action figures will bring back the sense of realism, action and fun that has been missing from toy shelves for the last few years. Each Eagle Force figure stands 4” tall (1:18 scale) and has 14 points of articulation. They are intended to blend in perfectly with other figures in the same scale that share similar themes and designs." So yes, in some ways like MTF - Kickstarter campaign of 1/18th scale figures but based on a little known property from Mego that debuted in 1982 and picking up the story in modern day. |

I sound like a broken record - but I really thing EFR is coming into a great window to launch out from.
All signs ppint to them delivering fantastic product at a time when the GIJCC is closing and Hasbro has Joe on hiatus until the next file. I love and appreciate MTF - but having a good storyline and interesting unique characters really add to EFR. I think future KS campaigns could be a really special success and give all us 1/18th fans something well made, enjoyable and affordable to rally around.

What are you alluding to Wedge? I can see that too. Especially with the suits, and the Contractors, and the EXO suits. I think I know a guy who could help them with that.

Interesting. Love MTF, but they need some fairly evil looking dudes and ladies to build a good storyline IMO.

The more fantastic world building and story-driven toy lines the better! I look forward to hearing about it and the best hypothetical luck with it. ;)
