 something i found...
my uncle is a packrat, and the whole extended fam was helping/forcing him to clear out some junk and i found 2 of these guys (one with a black leather coat, one with brown) in a box in the back of a closet with a bunch of inter-changeble heads. I asked my uncle what they were, and he said he never seen them before. His son isn't involved with family ever, and, guessing they were his, he gave them to me. anyways, they ended up sitting in my closet for a couple of months until i started cleaning up the house and found them again. I don't know what they are other than pretty kickass. Just curious as to whether or not any of you know something...

p.s., sorry for the shitty photo. it's a little 6x9 or so one sided sheet that was in the box with the figs. i'm guessing has something to do with the backing card or something. anyways, my scanner sucks. i'd've taken a picture, but i have no camera. man, i'm really out of the technology loop...

i will probably be willing to trade one off, but i haven't yet decided which i want to keep between the black and brown. once i can get a hold of a camera, i'll take some shots of the extra heads...

 something i found...
they are jointed at the shoulders and elbows, and the hands rotate, the legs are jointed the top and the knee. and i think the feet move, but the boots are hard to get off, so i didn't check. the boots and the coat appear to be a leather-like material. the sweater and pants are cloth.

They look like Puppetmaster figures. I'll try and find a reference photo from the movies, but that's what jumped into my mind immediately.

It is a character from Puppetmaster 4, the Decapitron.
Here's a link that shows a picture

Also, here is a link I found in Google Image search that shows the cover to the movie with the Decapitron wearing the funky thing in your 2nd picture.

I vaguely remember seeing this movie a long time ago. I loved the cheesiness of the whole series. I thought of it right away too when I saw your picture because I remember this guy kind of freaked me out with his blank face and the implied eyes. Nice score.
