Visually similar to, but legally distinct from a certain British toy line.

I didn't know about these until now, as an Englishman, King Charles demands I get these. Such an imaginative use of parts too.⚡️

As an Englishman, of course!!
I really want to talk about these figures. I got a bunch of them and judging from the few I've opened, these are the best 1/18 figures ever made when it comes to the quality of proportions, construction and articulation.
@Its.Chad.

They are great for sure!! Eagle Force is easily the best thing going in 4” figures these days.
Boy if you didn't know about them and are interested now, you are SOL. Lets hope fresh monkey fiction runs another batch for all the new fans.

I was initially only mildly jealous when I saw the thumbnail but that only lasted until you started to pile up those troopers. What an awesome set of figures in God's scale. I was OG Action Force back in the day and it was Red Shadows over Imperial Stormtroopers by a country mile.
@Its.Chad.
Ай бұрын
I cannot agree with everything you said any more!!
Wolf-Man Head is a decent bad guy name btw. It does NOT need to go! I ordered these way back as well, and they are in the Pile o Loot currently. Waiting for a few more items before I hit "Ship". These look AMAZING, and the ones I ordered will augment my small Red Shadows forces from OG Action Force. I'm keeping my original Black Major and Baron Ironblood on display, so I'm going to shift the figure heads around to get some cool looking characters. ALSO I've got "Totally Not Jack Burton" ready to go in the order a well, and will be using that Fortnite semi truck as his "Not Quite Porkchop Express".

I got mine a couple of days ago. OMW are they fantastic! So much fun swapping all the bits around to get Baron Ironblood, the Black Major, and Red Shadows troopers. I used the black helmet and an RPG from the weapon set on a RIOT Urban Commando to make a heavy rocket trooper. They all look so frikkin sweet! I got my Goregills/ Kraken as well. Love love love them!

Dear lawd but these guys are amazing! I think I've been excited for these more than any other figures I collect. They look like they were well worth the wait. I hope there is another production run. I only got three kiloworgs and need at least a couple more. Now I need my Roboskull Mk II to put with them.

Do not get rid of those wolf heads, especially the white-striped one. If you can find a suitable body, and with some minor adjustments, there's a chance you can do a good custom figure for Michael Jackson in "Thriller" :D

I just started collecting action figures this year and went heavy on 1/12th scale. Kind of kicking myself now as these look fantastic and are so much easier on space for vehicles. Guess I'll just have to make more space.......... Cool video.

Haha. Thanks! Yeah, 1:12 isn’t space friendly and is all about just dollies.
Nice! I was sooo psyched to finally get these. I'm glad I ordered three Kiloworgs because they're all sold out now (I went back to get more). I also like using the Black Major body with the all black trooper head - I got two black bodies: one of the major and one as his personal body guard.

I pre-ordered some of these last minute with some extra spending money I had at the time, Apperently I grossly underestimated the pockets of what are hopefully other collectors and not the ebay scalpers that are now squatting on these because when I went to get more a while back all of them were sold out like shortly after they actually came in stock. The legionnare and ironmoon came back in stock and then vanished just as fast again. I got an extra of both of them when they did because I liked ironmoon's design enough that I wanted to leave him as is, but also wanted a traditional ironblood figure. I got like 5 kiloworg, 2 of ironmoon and his legion, and 1 goregills. Wallet's in pain but I at least got a small squad going. That's not even counting the skeletron stuff I got months back which amounts to 4 more guys and 3 drones, and even THAT's not counting other eagle force guys I got like mamba. By the way, the heads of these are also swappable with the skeletron figures and probably some gi joe and marauder bodies. My initial ironblood head and helmet that came with the legionnaire is on a wolf trooper body now, really striking combo. Was going to buy some joe and marauder bodies for the rest of the alternate heads but the ones I wanted to use are all either out of stock or not quite available in a normal way right now. Maybe someday...
@Its.Chad.

Thanks for that awesome comment!! I’m hopeful they’ll restock these like they have other FMF runs after initial releases. And yeah, they’re definitely compatible with the Skeletron & Marauder figures!!
Great video! I love the homage to Palitoy's Red Shadows baked into these figures, but I also dig the wolfman spin also. Lots of great world building possibilities with everything fresh monkey is putting together. How well do these figs fit into original Palitoy vehicles?

These are awesome! I didn’t get these exact figures but I did get my BBTS Pile of Loot alert for a bunch of their other ones that finally arrived. I’ll wait until after DFW to ship. Grabbed the various “staff generals”, “Mega Force” and mercenary looking ones. I kinda regret not ordering these as well, but at the time I was saving up for the Delta-17 figures. Great review and maybe if they ever run these again, I might have to go hard in the paint. Can’t wait to see you review the MF homages! 😘👍

That’s one of the drawbacks of FMF toys - preorders take a long to be fulfilled and they sometimes don’t make enough extra to sell after the fact (as with these). I can’t guarantee it, but I’m pretty sure they’ll restock BBTS as fast as they can with these.

good review bro wow, the figs look pretty good, but their system is awesome for 4's and the articulations... as good as 6's yep, I admit, my ol 80s joes are beaten now, how to go back to no ankles now? those possibly can t mix with them either, perhaps 25 th, as they were taller and had more articulation? I d really like to see the eagle s good guys, and also compare with dif types of joes the action man experience I ve only read a few comics, I liked them, except I cringed a little for Destro the jackal maybe there was a better suspense and atmosphere than marvel it was more mature and action oriented, less of a soap opera the vehicles designed by Hasbro were interesting colour changes, but the stickers seem almost 70s inspired, ouh... so kitch and those by palitoy... crap to be really blunt. the worst to me has to be the 2 different types of construction for figs, and yeah, pali s figs were desperately crap. and their pose, ready to party at the blue jay from police academy or something or is is it always tea time there? ha, ha so I m not attached or even familiar with the characters, but... I like their style and system flexibility I could see many variations that look very good and organised. a couple of jeeps and red hiss tanks should make a pretty package. I d just get rid of those awful stickers. so now you know... good show bro

I muted you for 24 hours because you specifically came to pick a fight. You wanted to start crap on behalf of a guy who abuses the copyright strike system to silence his victims while he plays nonchalant about it and cries victim the second his actions are called into question. Either you are one of his fake accounts or you really need to take a few steps back and analyze who you are supporting, because at the end of the day, truth and justice prevail. Viper Island is suffering the consequences of his own behavior now.
