As a sometime lurker of the HISSTANK news site, I remember a long time ago about a heads up for Eagle Force doing some Action Force hommage characters and pre-ordered them. They are still a long time coming.

As I have scrolled over the listings on BBTS, I've noticed other homage characters.

I don't know if many people have paid attention to this- or talked about it. But I've recognized some and others I was trying to figure out if they were homage figures or not.

The Black Terror figure I think is pretty clearly modeled after the Black Terror- a character that Alex Ross resurrected for a comic some years ago.

There are the Bruno Brothers- which are clearly Mario and Lugi.

Lt. Griffin is the Invisible Man

This guy- Blockhead- he's Charlie Brown! A Charlie Bown action figure!?!?!

Frank Walsh- tell me that guy isn't Kurt Russell from Big Trouble in Little China

Agent Grimm Reaper appears to be John Wick

Prince Sarxek- Ming the Merciless???

R.I.O.T. Aerospace Strategic Patrol Soldier- Cobra Soldier? Cobra Commander?

Jet Powers - Steve Ditko Captain Atom?

I'm not crazy about these guys, right?
Are there other homages I'm missing? There are a few of them I think I should know, but I can't seem to place.

Any help in ID-ing which characters they are or are almost would be appreciated.

i mean, how can you not want a Charlie Brown badass soldier?

There is a main Eagle Force thread in the News and Rumor section. We have discussed but it?s been a while. Most of your guesses seem spot on.

There are a lot more too. Tons of homages including Mario and Luigi, Charlie Brown, Danny Trejo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, TMNT, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, European Outback, Red Shadows and more.

Thank you.

That's a lot of posts to look through. I did suspect the Arnold, but I wondered if he was too small.

There are a few other maybes I'll see if they are mentioned in the posts.

Be cool to see thought on more EF and Dime Novel Legends.

Their are some translucent colored figures, some will be available soon, that look like the Micronauts figures from the 70s.
