 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
I like the idea of re-doing the 2nd line of MOTU figures so the Optik rules. That 2nd line SUCKED but had some solid ideas. The 3rd line was the worst (fake anime style.) I just bought 4 original figures w/weapons with no paint wear for $10, I love thrift stores!

Man-E-Faces...great. Two-Bad...now that sucked. And, of course, the main He-Man and Skeletor figures were meh... I actually dug the (third) cartoon. The backstory they added to the mostly-freak-show characters of MotU was pretty hot.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
The best stuff to come out of that 200X line was the cartoon and the stactions by NECA. Not sure how familiar everyone is with them, but they were really nice! Check it: http://www.grayskullmuseum.com/necaindex.htm

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
I picked up the staction of Snout Spout (c'mon...the fucking thing looks like Ganesh!). Love it...but I'd prefer an actual *action* figure...
Hopefully, we'll see a MotUC based on it like with Hordak.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
 Here's an image of a virtual mockup of a custom Horde Trooper that someone did based upon that Snout Spout staction. He was going to do produce this thing on a 3-D printer, but I don't think that anything ever became of it.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
Damn...pretty inventive...but a little too much artistic license for me. I'd rather wait for a MotUC Horde Trooper.

I was pumped about them. Anyone got an extra Mekaneck armor or club sitting around?

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
Picked this bank up at Target for 10 bucks, the eye lights up and it has a weird voice, I like to buy any creepy toys I find, maybe they will start making more. Fizz n FInd had cool halloween toys with zombies too.

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
I actually really dig this Toy Story 3 figure:  Oddly, I've never seen any of the movies. Although people have told me that they're pretty good.

Is that thing a made-up toy or real toy?

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
Sorry - These are made out of wood, I tried to get some good pics but they all came out super shitty. I went to have fun with my kids Bakugan instead..

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
What "details" do you need? I mean, they're interlocking (well...inter- balancing) panels of wood that are painted real sweet. They have other such stacking toys like robots and creepy clowns. But you know what are some of the most bitchin' non-vinyl American toys out right now? The fucking Hasbro Snake Eyes/Stormshadow foam swords from the recent movie. Holy fuck, these things are fun as shit! I've messed around with the other Nerf N-Strike swords (and axe) before...but they're kinda meh. These are actually two-handed and well-balanced so you can swing hard and whoop the shit outta your buddies! So good...

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
I know this probably won't be for everyone but I recently picked up the Big Daddy Bouncer from NECA and I love it. It's a lot of toy for $20.00.

Oh, huh, the Bill Ding stuff is still around. My parents gave me a set of the clowns as a gift a few years back "because you collect toys." ;P

 Re: Non- Vinyl American toys
Well, I have to say I didn't read your response to that, so it was not reading comprehension thing. It's more like I felt so excited that I need to post my message without reading the messages after the one I quoted. Sanjeev wrote: Axolotl wrote: :shock: Who/when/what are these?
