Anybody have an idea what brand or manufacturer this figure is from?
I found it loose for $1. It didn't look like anything I was familiar with, so I grabbed it. I don't see any info on the figure that hints at who made it--no manufacturer name, no date, not even the obligatory "CHINA". It's really not very good--it's got more articulation than one might expect for a cheap figure, but the majority of the joints are loose (especially the hips; the legs literally swing like a pendulum), and it can't exactly fall back on looks. Oh, and his hands are mitts, so he can't grip a damn weapon. Hmmm...what to do with this thing? At least it was only $1...

What is it's height? So we can determine scale.
A lack of quality, coupled with the costume and a lack of a company logo indicate a generic brand where the figure was included as part of a crew or vehicle. Since its designed to just sit and be in a driver position, probably some sort of vehicle driver, either boat or helicopter. If it doesn't have O-Ring then it might be more modern 1990s- to even today. Anyways this one has me stumped, here's a specialist website that could help. The Action Figure Archive Home Page I use it to look through Remcos back catalogue. It is glorious. |

Also, Kmart still has a working site? Oh, and if it's of any interest...the figure is NOT O-ring; it's a bit taller than ARAH; and, it uses ARAH peg holes in the feet.
