Size of Centurions on eBay?

Post by Shaunyboy »

Anyone on here collect Centurions figures? I like the look of them and I think I recall the cartoon from the 80s as being one of my favourites, not sure.

Anyway, I saw this auction on eBay and wanted to clarify the size of said Centurions. They are bigger, right?

This picture makes them look the same size as a cobra trooper!?!

Hi & thanks Shaun,
I know Kenner sort of released a few different Centurion related licensed products (I'm in way an expert in the subject or would ever claim to be) & I've seen item such bicycle horns & life sized toy weapons for kids turn up on ebay in the past, but I've never seen any smaller sized figures... may be it's a spin-off or maybe even a knock-off of some kind, it would certainly be interesting to see it in the flesh.

Centurions are a wonderful toy to collect, surprisingly fairly cheap too considering how hard to find they are here in the U.K....as most people don't seem to know what they are I guess. I've still yet to have find one of the weapons systems & would like to have a couple more of the figures as you really need about 3 of the main characters to show off all the weapons systems properly, I have the same problem with Transformers, if I had the money I'd like to have two of every thing one for the robot mode & one to display as the vehicle...but if you followed that logic you'd have to 3 or more in some cases & I doubt even Bill Gates could afford it :lol:

I know the guy who replied (Gort) from other threads, if he says they're McDonald's toys, I believe him. Almost makes me want to get a few and customize some articulation into them :)

I had the blue one. Ace, I think. Agreed, they were very cool. Another thing I'll have to search for in my parent's loft.
