Eagle Force Returns

[Luthor]

Hey guys,
I'm not sure if they were available in the UK or not but Eagle Force were something of a cousin to GI Joe & Action Force. They were small die-cast figures featuring the adventures of an elite military group brought together to topple a terrorist organization(R.I.O.T. - Roving International Organization of Tyranny) bent on world domination. Sound familiar? They were made by Mego and launched in 1982. They were considered a hit but Mego went under the same year, so only one wave exists.

There's a Kickstarter currently running trying to restart the Eagle Force brand in the currently popular 1:18 format figures. Fresh Monkey Fiction & Zica Toys have big, long term plans for the brand including more toys and video games. They've even hinted that 80s style animation might be in the works. I'm pretty stoked about this Kickstarter and thought some of the folks that hang out here might be too.

Here's a link to the Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/54 ... on-figures

Here's some in depth information about the original Eagle Force - http://www.megomuseum.com/misc/eagleforce.shtml

This is not lip service but I always enjoy stopping into Blood For the Baron. There's a lot of bitterness on most toy forums on the web but you guys just seem to love what you love and that's incredibly refreshing.

Hope you check out the kickstarter! If you pledge, let them know that C Kevin sent you!

The campaign reached funding last week. All in funders are guaranteed 25 figures but there's 9 days left and a bunch of stretch goals to unlock. The more money the campaign raises, the more figures funders will get. If you haven't checked it out yet, I implore you to do so. I think you'll really dig these figures.

Only a few hours left, if you're interested.

These look pretty good.
Def interested in a few of the baddies.
Any idea how much these will go for on the open market?
The marauder and hacks figs are outta my price range

I'd imagine they'll be similar prices to Marauder and HACKS. A single figure on the Kickstarter was $25 I think (plus shipping).

[Double-Tap]

Wow.
The cost of these figures is killing me.
No way I can justify paying that much for a new figure when I can buy vintage star wars figs for a fraction of the price.
Afs are you getting any of these?

[action-figure-supplies]

No, not at present. Personally I'm not interested in them and the only retailer package was sold to SmallJoes (I think). I couldn't justify spending $1000s on figures I'm not going to get in stock for 12 months or more.
