Those sets look awesome! Your suggestions would be great additions. I guess to be "true" representations, some of the figures should be a bit overweight & balding. Let kids get used to heroes of other shapes even if they're all 1/18th scale.

Thanks for info! I remember stumbling on their police station last year and being fascinated with it. It was everything I ever wanted. But for some reason, back then, I got the impression the figures were 7". But it looks like they are 1/16, so 4.5"? Which is close enough, when there is nothing else! And I do love that RAM truck. Agree on the priciness though.
The 4.5" figures wouldn't be much different than the GI Joe Retro Roadblock. I never held a ruler up to him, but geez he seemed huge. Like 5" huge. But it was probably just open box shock on my part. Bruder is definitely over-scale, but their vehicles are of really good quality. The figures are kind of odd. They feel somewhat like oversized Playmobil. Also sturdy, just...weird in function. The figures do not fit in very well at all with Joe scale but with the vehicles you can just kind of ignore the size difference. With that said, since you have a couple of years before you bump the kiddo up to 1/18 scale, Marauder has parts available right now that can get you a "good enough" generic police officer. They have more parts coming from their Vietnam kickstarter that will open up the options even more. EDIT: Whenever this comes back in stock, Marauder has a police gear set for $9.99 (a bit much, honestly, but it's all-in-one): https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/wzs-pol001.htm And then you can get upper and lower bodies to build whatever color police uniform you prefer. One example...body ($5.99): https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/mtf-az-bb030.htm Legs/feet ($4.99): https://www.marauderinc.com/product-...bl001-male.htm Find a head you like ($1.99) and you're all set. Out the door for around $23. Not cheap, but it's as close as it comes unless/until Bossfight releases a non-zombie version of this guy: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...Details/151062 That is built off of a retooled figure from Locker Toys, who also made it in a non-zombie version, but their quality was much lower and the non-zombie cop is especially hard to find at a reasonable price. They didn't bother giving him a badge or patches like Bossfight did, but here he is: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...nDetails/79942 If Bossfight ever releases a non-zombie cop I recommend you buy while you can. I don't think it will ever get better than that.

I would like to see a line of Mad scientists in 1:18th scale. Figures in lab coats with some kind of Frankenstein movie science lab prop or monster accessory included. Tesla coils, giant alchemical glass vials, vats of chemicals, etc...
These would be great to pair with so many lines, they could be Cobra scientists for Gi Joe, lab workers or villains for super hero Spinmaster hero lines, people working on the master chief for Halo, etc... |

I guess I'm a few months late to the discussion, but since the thread has been bumped I'll chime in.

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...nDetails/79942 Man, the Boss Fight figures are so amazing to me. I didn't get my first one until just a few months ago, and I am officially addicted now. They are some of the only figures that seem to look better in hand to me than in the digital preview renderings. Those, and the Marvel Universe ME 1/18 have been the most impressive to me in person.

I would like to see Bravestarr get some figures in that scale. Although I'd settle for a ReAction line from Super7. Also, I'd like to see a line based on the characters, enemies, and bosses from the Ninja Gaiden game series for the NES, which is my favorite one for that console.
