AV - how you feeling about their height? I know you, like me, value height variance in our figs and customs, but for their stated purpose aren’t these more like a set of Action Boy figs?

They're perfectly SW height so if you're cool assimilating those in these should be no problem. I think I'll be using most of these guys alongside Flash once he hits and just say they're aliens.

I do hope Action Lady isn't Leia-tiny; though.

Can't see much of it here but I painted the Striker's neck black for better head-swappin':

Are they gonna sell these online now that the KS is over. I like them I was just strapped for funds then. Well now too but not as bad

Look for some comparison shots though, for real. Compared to HACKS and MTF they are teenager sized.

AV - what do the heads look like on the aforementioned rival lines? I agree those sculpts look good.

I've got them in hand, man; I know they're SW-sized. It just doesn't bug me as much it seems to you guys. I wish the 4" stuff would come back down to 3.75 so their proportions aren't so wack. All the 25A Joes did was add a quarter inch to the calves and ruin the large majority of everything that's come afterward, esp the ladies.

I gave the bad guys the red-striped swords:

I received an incorrect figure in my Backerkit delivery (extra Henchman) and missing my Jet Jungle. I reached out to Zica on FB, explained my side, showed a picture, he/they identified the problem, and are shipping me a Jet Jungle. It's been a long slog, but Zica has the right attitude about the future!


And Jet Jungle has arrived!

I give Zica an 'A' for customer service, especially after everything they (He) went through.

I'm starting to see them as good custom bucks for teen dudes, imagining who I might make. Terry McGinnis, SpiderBoy, the Legion of SuperHeroes...

I got my Sectaurs in, and I love these MFers too! I'm wracking my brain trying to come up with good stuff to give them to play with, vehicle/mounts esp. I imagine the Avatar movie animals would work well with them, but I skipped most of that line because: Mattel.

I already have 2 more SpiderKnights on the way.

These are very nice figures indeed. I just wish I had more to both toylines to fully appreciate their potential: more figures on more bucks, vehicles, playsets, etc.

If anybody knows the name of the big chamelocust beast or its toyline please speak up. The li'l guy with Mantor is a custom MegaConstrux grasshopper fella.

I hope to find these at a discount store one day. Good generic monsters aren't easy to find outside of mega construx breakout beasts.

The new Mega Spitters are decent stand-ins for Sectaurs' companion bugs, imho. The imprinted code in the rear bottom right says 350993TC. Per the instructions sheet the traditional last two digits let you know which one is inside.
