Non- Vinyl American toys

...well my mind is blown.

 

Yes, The stuff in the action figure museum is only 10% of the owners collection. It is a awesome sight if you are passing through.

 

Found a couple more pics of these guys. From what I've read, it looks like they'll be available at Toys'R'Us this fall:

 

well that means im going there at least once a week until i capture these beasts... ADVENTURE TIME!!

 

Thanks for the pics silver_lining_man. I forgot that museum was there. I definitely need to go some day. So awesome!

 

Those Adventure Time toys look awesome.

 

not american, but not vinyl either. only one of my new obsessions: APES ATTACKS!
there is nothing not to love about these, except i don't have the weapons. and this figure line doesn't hide the fact they are missing their weapons to well. with the whole invisible 40oz grip and all.
these apes are from a toyline called Apes Attacks! by Mannix, out of Argentina (and i have learned packaged under different companies in different parts of the world). For a knockoff line, the heads are highly detailed and well painted, made of rubber, as are the legs. the torso and arms are plastic. there are four points of articulation: head, both arms, and waist. i love how these feel like "mash ups." i mean, high-detailed heads, the plastic mid section with metallic paint, and the rubber unarticulated legs, usually in neon colors....and with wrestling knee pads n' shorts! this company is well known (well, as well known as an unknown company can be) for making bootleg ko's of wrestling figs (hence the waist-down sculpt). i've learned that they have actually aquired and used uncirculated head sculpts for scrapped hasbro wrestling figs. and yes, the wrestling figures have the same arm sculpts, complete with the weapon holding hand, even though they were packaged without weapons. ANYWAYS, my first 3 mannix figures are from the Apes Attacks line. I've had a hell of a time hunting down weapons. i found a dude with a pretty impressive collection of mannix figures, and after contacting him, he was kind enough to e-mail me close-up shots of his apes moc collection, but told me never to reveal those pictures to the public. a couple other lines by mannix utilizing the same body mold, but with different animal heads are series with these super original, deep-thought names: Sharks Attacks! & Dinos Attacks! so yeah, after my rant, here are the apes:


i also recently scored this lot on ebay and am waiting for them to come in. this lot was an awesome find, and thankfully the seller mislisted them as another toy line:





still unsure which series some of these figures from the lot go to. but figuring it out is half the fun!

 

Those are awesome!!!!!!!

 

Well, Argentina's part of the Americas...just not the US!

But who cares about geography when you scored such amazing stuff??? Each better than the last!

 

my bad. i have no idea where the hell argentina even is (sorry to all the argentina residents on this board). I DO know argentina has some awesome toys to offer though....isn't that where the Tops Toys Camo Kobra Khan came out of?

anyways, glad you are digging my toy posts Sanjeev. always trying to bring some toys into this artist-based section of skullbrain .

 

Hell yeah. Art is what it is...but all the various bootleg toys from South America are absolutely amazing. Of course they're rip-offs, but they still add so much creativity to staple toylines we sorta take for granted in the US and other first world countries...

 

more american fodder!




!!!!!

 

For some reason, the armored dudes in the back of the first pic remind me of Power Lords.

It's a good thing.

 

ok i need some help when i was like ten i believe maybe 11 so this is mid 90's anyway, i went to k mart with my mom and saw a toy that was a playset style toy like mighty max. This set of toys came with different body parts as the playsets and the good guys were stuff like white blood cells and the bad guys where germs and viruses... i want them please help me figure out what they were called

 

How about this?

Is the guy with the sword, and blue helm, and chain mail, some sort of Frank Franzetta tribute figure? I've never seen that anywhere... I'm guessing it could be a D&D figure, but I'm probably wrong. It just really looks like everything Frank had ever done...

 

The character is Warduke from D&D.

 

i fucking love you!!! Now I must own them

 

Heh...actually it was asterphage from TBDX who came up with the id. We had been discussing these a few months ago over there!

Good luck with the hunt!

 

nah. that stay puft is a toys r' us release coin bank. so wish it glowed.

and thanks for bring the body wars to my attention! i've accumulated some complete mighty max sets recently. would love some of these body wars to add in!

 

dude i have been looking and the only thing i foudn so far was a heart play set on card for $40 seems a little steep for such a out of nowhere toy... if you find any or manage to score doubles let me know... i have wanted these since i was 11
