The whole MGR Announcement of "Dino Hunters" for Joefest 2025 is neat and has me wondering if inspiration was taken from any of the 15 Marauders Dino Hunters figures I built over 2023-2025...

We will have to wait and see...

NEW RECRUITS!!!!!
WAVE 113: TOY LORDS OF CHINATOWN (SUCKLORD) Wave 4!!!!
(10 year anniversary wave since TOY LORDS OF CHINATOWN episode 4 in 2015!)

561.VECTAR THE INTOLERABLE
Home World: Chinatown, NYC
Born: 1969
Lives Life: As A Cockroach
Affilation: Gone rogue, Ex-Sucklord Minion
Original Villians/S.U.C.K.L.E./Suckadelic

*"The Toy Lords of Chinatown, a '70s-sploitation New Jack City spoof in which toys are contraband instead of drugs. In those videos, there are so many references to kung-fu movies and Japanese samurai films and to cheap toy ads we all saw as kids, and it's mixed in with street culture...? - Paul Budnitz (Kid Robot)

**This wave celebrates 10 years since the last episode of "Toy Lords Of Chinatown" was released, episode 4 of 7 (now possibly 6)... I don't know if we will ever get the rest of the episodes, even if most of it has been shot at this point, but I remain hopeful. ;-)

You didn't think I'd make a "Toy Lords Of Chinatown" series and not have a figure of the main character did you lol? ...Vectar was created specifically by the Sucklord for the "Toy Lords of Chinatown" series (& also the demo "Original Villains" shorts), because he needed the main character to emote, as the Sucklord himself wears a solid mask, & also to avoid having the main character (as he hoped this would be made into a TV Series) not be an infringement on Lucasfilm. Vectar's mask is a comic-style Iron Man mask cut up to resemble a cockroach & painted purple. The Vectar character is played by, & takes on all of the actual Sucklord's (aka Morgan Phillips) mannerisms & persona, which is that of a lowbrow fast talking salesmen. When making this figure, the build ideas came together fast, I just needed to pick the best head representation from Avac Labs! For such an important character, other than the common S.U.C.K.L.E. figure, Vectar rarely seems to have had much actual art figures made of him, as I've only actually seen him come in 2-packs with the Sucklord!

BIO: Once the beaten down servant and toy replicator of the SUCKLORD, VECTAR has gone solo & is trying to get a piece of the hot action figure empire all for himself! Jealous of the SUCKLORD'S success & tired of his treatment, VECTAR'S disillusionment started when the SUCKLORD took his action figure manufacturing out of Chinatown & into actual China! He started his revolt by quietly selling SUCKLORD'S own bootleg figures on the street, then quit his job working for him, & finally started crashing SUCKLORD events with promoting his own bootleg figures & proclaiming the SUCKLORD is a hack! VECTAR'S girlfriend SPOOKY BOOTY only really has eyes for the SUCKLORD & has become impressed with his new success & status, causing VECTAR to become ever suspicious, & also wanting to impress upon SPOOKY BOOTY that he is even better than the SUCKLORD in the mighty action figure racket!

562. ANOTHER B*TCH YOU DIDN'T GET TO F*CK
Born: usually around 2005
Found: Everywhere (in Chinatown), Asian Karaoke bars, Chinese Restaraunts, etc.
Suckadelic/S.U.C.K.L.E.

A classic Sucklord character, Another B*tch You Didn?t Get to F*ck, is a perfectly proportioned Barbarella-type figure sold backwards. Then, when you turn her around, she has the face of a monster! I have seen this character with a few different faces... A Star Wars Duros face, a General Grievous face, & a gas mask... I went with the latter. I also based my build more on the actual cosplay (& 12" figure) of the character rather than the 3.75" figure versions. Since there are several versions of "Another B*tch," & she is not just one girl, she could even be used as a troop builder!

OFFICIAL VILLAIN DATA FILE: "Isn't she beautiful? Here is yet another smart, sexy, stylish, & sophisticated woman who has somehow failed to appreciate your charms. Add her to your growing collection! She must have some flaw somewhere! Take a closer look!"

*As part of the "butterface" joke, you always display her backwards first!

OG History: The APF Microcomputer System is a second generation 8-bit cartridge-based home video game console released in October 1978 by APF Electronics Inc. with six cartridges. The console is often referred to M-1000 or MP-1000, which are the two model numbers of the console.

Unlike the first 3 waves (& the upcoming waves 5 + 6), wave 4 was mostly developed on it's own... Except APF, who was developed during the first 3 waves & was just basically a helmet (for a time) without a body, as MGR was out of stock on the black bodies... He also was held back because of the visual similarities between him & ColecoVision in wave 3. The original figure appears to be a Battle Armor Cobra Commander Head on a Battle Force 2000 Maverick body. This gave me my first opportunity to try out Avac's repro BA CC helmet, as I was curious if it would work for a possible future CoCo modern build, which FYI it is good, but only to cover the smallest modern heads.

BIO: APF is MARY PAPER$' cyborg field commander in the action figure wars. Whether in NYC or in outer space, this guy is armored up with a cross of retro & what seems to be alien tech, making him difficult to assess, & by the time you do, he's already squashed you like a bug!

564. LITIGATOR 5000 and DOUCHE-BOT 2000
Created: 1962 and 1978 respectively
Suckadelic/S.U.C.K.L.E.

Our C-3PO & R2-D2 of the Chinatown saga lol. For Litigator, one of the great things about this Chinatown series is that because Sucklord crosses over so many of his own parts & molds on the originals, I get to do the same with my builds. Litigator has the same ColecoVision head & arms, but with a Sucklord 43 suit body in different colors & an added cape.

This wave has been finished for a few months, but holding it back allowed me to add a fun +one to it. This mail-box shaped droid originates form Galaxy Laser Team, a 1978 static figure line that celebrates a funky mash-up of space movie characters from the old black & white serials to that famous space opera in a galaxy far-far away. Reproductions by Tim Mee toy company are still available today. For some reason Sucklord included a smaller keshi replica of this Laser Team droid in his S.U.C.K.L.E. figure series. I was at first perplexed as to why he did this, (seeming like a waste of a coveted S.U.C.K.L.E. spot), but as the OG droid is a bootleg idea of R2-D2, his S.U.C.K.L.E. figure is a bootleg of a bootleg. So my version shown here is a bootleg of a bootleg of a bootleg... lol! I bought this figure as the perfect accessory to compliment my "Chinatown/Sucklord" collection, having shown up in the original S.U.C.K.L.E. series, credited as "MA-RX7 Droid" (a Mazda RX-7 reference) & created by Plastic Vomit Customs.

BIO: With MARY PAPER$ constantly getting sued for her underhanded business ventures, she needs her own personal lawyer... LITIGATOR 5000 is the best lawyer droid there is. He represents MARY PAPER$ exclusively & handles her cases by preparing the legal documents, conducting discovery, negotiating her settlements, & even acts as a proxy during her trials & appeals. DOUCHE-BOT 2000 is his totally rude & loyal sidekick. He's just there to record & playback the defense, but mostly also to hurl insults at the plaintiffs/victims!

565. ROXY SUNBLAZER
TOYMAKER SLAVE GIRL to VILLAIN-KILLER
HOMEWORLD: Los Angeles, CA (Philippines decent)
BORN: 1982
AKA: Sam-Suck, Needle Knocker
"I'm throwin' shade like it's sunny!"
Suckadelic

The 2nd of The Sucklord's notable girlfriends (after Spooky Booty), Roxy Sunblazer seemed instrumental in The Sucklord's operations during the 2011-12 era. Although only having an exclusive art figure & a Suckpak card, she is probably the best documented of the Sucklord's girlfriends, by showing up in the Sucklord social media at the time. Although never actually appearing in the Chinatown video series (as of this writing, as the footage was shot before her time), I still wanted to include her in my own Chinatown series tribute as both the art figure representation of her & the actual artist seem pretty awesome. The biggest challenge was figuring out how to replicate her masquerade mask & head/hair combo, luckily Avac's & Boss Fight helped out with that... Then I completed the rest of the Boss Fight parts build for her & also modified an MGR leg pouch for the final touch!

BIO: ROXY SUNBLAZER was an artist turned "Toy Maker Slave Girl" by the SUCKLORD himself. She eventually escaped & dedicated her life to becoming the Chinatown "VILLAIN KILLER." Now a villain to the villains herself, ROXY SUNBLAZER captures those who wronged her over the years & destroys them in a sexy S&M style execution! Beautiful but deadly, some of the villains seem to get captured by ROXY on purpose!

Roxy and the vader robot guy in the suit are absolutely my favorites in this batch.

[Ponygt50]

Yes!! Vader meets Wall Street is my favorite difficult choice! Absolutely insane group again, but I love em!

[rob]

I agree, some Gonzo gems in this wave. Of course they are all wonderful, but my fave has to be Armored CC fig.
