Marauder Gun Runner, Marauder Task Force, Marauder Inc. whatever name you identify them with has been the best thing to happen with “military” collectors of the 1/18th scale. Many might not even know, but they have been around for 15 (fifteen) years. Everything changed when they started making figures back in 2014. While the big guys at Hasbro and Mattel were phasing out 4” figures, Marauder stepped in and pretty much took over the 18th scale for us military collectors. Fast forward to today, we now have Valkires the female sector of MTF. We have private military contract operators. Heck we even have guys in three piece suits that can be average civilians, corporate businessmen and even secret service for POTUS and other dignitaries.
MarauderInc began releasing Geared-Up/Deluxe figures last year at conventions that eventually ended up on their website. In the past month they have helped us cope with today’s world pandemic, by offering weekly assortments of geared-up “not Joes” figure. These figures pop up Saturday nights and sell out tremendously fast. They’re done in low quantities (about 50 per character) but you have to understand they are working with what they have available. They’re waiting on the huge restock ship from China just like we are. These guys go way beyond for us their customers with quality work and customer service. These weekly “Escape the Crisis” figures are just another thing that makes these guys(& gals) so great. I appreciate everything they’ve done for us and I’m grateful for them keeping me sane when Hasbro dropped the ball on my beloved 4” G.I. Joes. Okay, if this were to be a regular thing in the future, where they would release a “not Joe” figure once or twice a month. What characters would you like them to make to feed our Joe needs. List the parts of said character, if you want. You HAVE to go with parts that have been released and up coming in the restock this summer. This is NOT a parts they need to produce thread. We have a Vietnam Kickstarter we’re waiting on. I am sure they won’t disappoint us. Come on use your imagination and let me know what you’d like to see them make. These are what they have released so far: Alley Viper: Alley Fighter Cobra Troopers: Blue Trooper Duke: NCO Falcon: Night Green Beret Firefly: Infiltrator Flint: Shotgun Officer Glenda: Argentinian Pilot Greenshirts: Green Trooper Hardtop: Ground Control Lady Jaye: Intel Operations Lifeline: Medic Low Light: Night Sniper Major Bludd: Mercenary Mutt: K-9 Trainer Outback: Wilderness Scout Recondo: Jungle Recon Repeater: Steadi Cam Gunner Roadblock: Heavy Machine Gunner S.A.W. Viper: Night Gunner Shockwave: S.W.A.T. Breacher Tunnel Rat: Explosive Ordance What would you like for them to release as “not Joes”? Heck what can you come up with the current available Marauder parts?

Awesome thread.
I came in very late to MTF and as a customizer , I have grown to appreciate their build kits. With Vietnam kickstarters, id like to see a lot more True OD green builds . Vietnam equipment: Claymores, smoke Grenades, packs we can harness kit to,tomahawks, double barrel shotguns , medals , they make similar items to this , but I’d like to see them dialed in for the Vietnam kickstarter

I did a complete OG13 but had to use some Joe parts for certain weapons and accessories. I think Stalker, Snake Eyes, Grunt, Hawk, Rock N Roll and Clutch were the ones using just Marauder parts:
Some updated pics:

Save away sbarty, but I got 3 pending orders with parts to update some of them. I’ll post new pics when I’m done.
