I'm on the fence with this. Part of me wants to jump in and throw money at it I really should be saving. But it's been so long since there has been anything this scale to really get excited about. This has a bit of everything, cool vehicle and interesting characters/figures. But the thing holding me back is how to fit these in with my Joe collection. Can anyone direct me to a good site to learn about the Red Shadows ?

I was amazed with how great a recently purchased Pachyrhinosaurus Lakustai turned out, then the next day the T-Rex kickstarter began alongside the the MTF Vietnam campaign. Seems like there's been more 1/18 product available over the last couple years than in the previous couple decades. Looks like the average campaign backing is $424. Almost enough for 2 Roboskulls. |

Not knowing anything about Red Shadows really doesn't bother me. The thing looks like it is straight out of a Heavy Metal comic. It could easily suffice for a space bounty hunter's custom ride, or as a standard fighter in an army of evil do-ers.

Your other option might be to swap with another All-Inner for the regular version they don't want to get a second SE warpainted one. Quote:
I wish I had that problem. It seems like it's been non-stop excitement for the 1/18 scale for the last couple years. The retail toy makers like Hiya, JoyToy, Bossfight, Marauders, Acid Rain / Annex 2179, Hasbro, and Jazwares have been keeping a steady stream of new stuff coming out. Plus the crowdfunding guys like Creative Beasts, Marauders, and now Skeletron have all piled on in the same couple months. The Eagle Force stuff pairs real well with this Roboskull, so hopefully the complimentary brands will each see a sales boost.
It's good to be an 18th fan these days. Expensive, but good. Quote:
They need to rig motion-sensitive soundboxes into the wings so it does an industrial metal guitar riff/engine whoosh as you swoop it by. Last edited by Ozymandias13; 10-21-2021 at 02:25 PM.. |

bloodforthebaron.com is such an amazing site. Most of what I've learned about the Red Shadows and Action Force comes directly from there. I still spend hours perusing the toys and comics.

I'm going to add it to my Marvel Legends, Red Skull/Hydra army. Can you imagine Captain America facing off with that thing? Hell, it could even work for Masters of the Universe.

They just revealed the 1/18 scale accessories for the pilots and troopers. It's a jet pack and a set of claws.

Yeah, it's an issue with telling Kickstarter to change their accounting software for this one guy or one of the Marauder guys slapping a Post-It note that hopefully stays up until they're all ready for shipping and that one guy remembers to look.

I really want to do a display with the Mandalorian and cadre making a mad dash for the Razorcrest while the Roboskull is coming in for a strafing run. I started teaching myself Python and Arduino years back so I could integrate LEDs and music/sound effects with motion sensors. The ultimate goal is to automate 90% of the lights and 100% of the sounds on the displays once a long long list of renovations are completed. |
