I love the character names, Major Muscle, Sergent Skinhead........... erm, John.

Thanks for the identification. Just as I think I know a thing or two about 3 3/4" figures, up pops another figure line I know nothing about!! Dammit!!

One more question... where was Andy in all of this?
I'd guess Jaye is your man for the most likely to have these! He's the King of Obscure 3 3/4 inch figures!

And as for Andy - well, them there Zargonites dont make themselves you know Shaunyboy!!! :-D
You mean they don't have self-replicating chips Steve? :shock:

Quite a lot complete, but not selling as they come from my original childhood collection. In the eighties figures from Remco were rather common in the Netherlands. It was a typical 'me too'-product floating on the succes of Hasbro's GI Joe. Remco toys were very poor in quality. In toyshops you could buy them for under a pound if I recall right.

Nowadays, loose figures go for close to nothing: most of them have defects or are broken, finding accessories is a disaster. If you want some complete, search for MOC.

If you rather have Andy answering your questions, next time you when you have questions you can stuff it! :-P

It takes one to know one! ;)

Seriously, I really love crappy/sh*tty/unknown/obscure military action figures. When I run into them I cannot refuse to buy them! Then I find it a sport to find out about them as much as possible. A guy needs to have something on hand on a lazy Sunday afternoon, now doesn't he? :D

Did anyone bid/win this auction?

I tried but it's just the wrong week/month/year to be laying out that much cash :D

Easy now Jaye, I respect your knowledge of figures and I expect you look hot in a mini skirt. :. I just meant Andy is usually quite quick at this kind of thing. I think he is up to something... he usually goes a bit quiet before a custom is revealed... remember the lull before the training tower.....hmmm.

Any chance of some pictures posted of your loose Remco figures Jaye? I'm interested in a look, not to buy. I'm skint anyway!!
