Came across these odd figures by Archie Mcphee. Very odd little figures but I kind of like them.

Oh cool!

I hope these are a success and maybe they'll redo their older 5 inch figures in the scale. Who wouldn't want a Shakespeare or Crazy Cat Lady figure in this scale?

No horse mask one?

If I can figure out a place to put these, they are as good as bought.
So odd, they are cool as "LASER BLAST", and must be had.

They look like background characters from "Ugly Americans".

I would love their 5" figures in this scale.

The link to the store is in the first post. Their site is easy to buy from and they have decent shipping. I should get mine tomorrow.

I don't know how much they really cared about scaling with other lines, but when their first figures came out (I think Fuzz-based on a real employee was first) 5 inch was the default scale..that was almost 15-20 years ago.

They've had a lot of figures I wish were 3.75" over the years.

I think I bought a bunch of those "Cubes" playsets from Archie McFee, because the accessories scaled correctly.

These are fairly cool! Their backstories are goofy, but shows that the makers have a good sense of humor. Are the masks removable, or are they the actual heads? I'm probably going to pick up two Roscoes, just in case the heads are solid. Need a mask for my figure-self, so might hollow one pug noggin out...

Yes the company does have a pretty good sense of humor.

Here is the caption on the side of their box.

The masks are not removable but you could probably pry them off. They have a ball neck joint but it would take some work to get it off.

Here they are in all their strange glory

And a scale image

Now the squirrel girl has a crotch bulge. I found that an odd detail to include...
