Remco released G.I. Joe-style knockoff figures under several different brand names, including American Defense, National Defense, and U.S. Forces. They are generally not worth as much as genuine G.I. Joe figures, but some collectors do enjoy and collect them.

I'd be interested to take a look at what you have there. I used to have a Remco robot guy and an arctic guy when I was a kid but lost them a long time ago. Kind of wish I still had them.

Yeah, ERTL didn't do a lot in the 3 3/4" scale outside of that jet and O-Ring Kirk, Spock, Scotty and Kruge from Star Trek III, so they aren't the first name you think of.

I'd echo what Josh said about the Remco guys, most of them aren't worth a lot, though there's a guy with a trench coat, a Wolfman and, IIRC, a clear ninja that I understand usually bring a bit more.

I'd also be interested in seeing what you have in Remco figures, though I don't have a huge budget right now.

A piece of advice I just remembered- if your Wolverine and Mauler have their tow cable accessories intact, don't try to clip them on, or store them with the cable clipped on. The cables break super easily. I had a Wolverine complete with tow cable that I stored that way, and just from temperature fluctuation the cable broke!

The third picture is the remaining pile of figures I still have to identify so maybe there are a couple of the rarer REMCO guys in there.

I do actually have those tow cables and I'm surprised to hear they are fragile! Honestly I've been pulling on them to try and get them to fit on the sides of a few vehicles. They all seemed very sturdy to me but hopefully I didn't just jinx myself! The bigger issue with the mauler is the owner seemed start drawing a camo pattern all over the top of it lol

Drool. Man oh man, that's a really fun couple days.

On a different note, Can anyone help me identify some of these missiles/bombs? The black ones on the left of the left of the first photo are especially confusing me. I am unsure if they are even GI Joe at this point.

I might be interested in the Mauler, would love to see a pic. I like having a mix of "lightly customized and loved" vehicles in my motorpool XD

Thanks! I am pretty sure that just completed a few things.

I can post a picture of the mauler tomorrow! I happened to be moving stuff around to get pictures of the flagg for someone and now the Mauler is pretty well buried in the shuffle lol

I always wanted that as a kid and I was also considering making a bid for it, but I really don't collect 3 3/4" anymore, so I decided to pass.

I might have the driver in the pile of unidentified figures.

Damn, no robot or arctic guys.

I'd still be into them if you figure out a price.
