Hi Guys,

What scale would you say the MB guys are? 1:44,1:72 etc?

The CoD guys are about 54mm which is 1/35 scale, the same a green army men which is pretty cool.

Thank you! Looking for some cool vehicles to match the figures.

Sadly, because of the stylized proportions of MB figures, LGAM heads don't look good on them.

The weird proportions can be a good and bad thing.

While the Mega dudes might not fit traditionally-scaled vehicles, they might work with other stuff just slightly bigger. Some of the Playskool/Fischer-Price/Playmobil vehicles might work. I usually eyeball it... if it looks like it might go well, I use it with my Mega Bloks/Mega Construx customs. Worst case scenario, you can always build your own out of LEGO/Mega bricks, then either cover the nubs with flat tiles, or sand them off.

Oh, we'll just have to see about that ;-)

I've tried a couple so far and they looked like the victims of the "I'm Squishing Your Head" guys from Kids in the Hall. Shame, too, because that'd be a good way to get some quick army builders up.

Funny you mentioned it because I found a Little Green Army Man in my fodder and thought it might be a fun tribute if bashed onto a Mega Bloks body. While LGAM heads might not be perfect for every head swap, I think you cats really might like what I'm cookin' up.

Pics coming soon. Literally watching paint dry...

I've been searching for you AV. I've not been able to find a translation that provides a name yet. Twitter is the best source for images thus far though. I'll provide the hash tag later (I'm at the gym).

It's a nice "Warduros" stand in though.

Here's my take on Robo-Joe, a military support mech built to assist the Dianaut branch of GI: JOE (Galactic Initiative: Joint Operations Elite), a special missions force that has outposts throughout the galaxy.

Robo-Joe is not only combat-ready, but he's a liaison between the Dianauts and the other JOE mech units that help the team. Like many of my customs, he's a blend of multiple Mega Construx HALO and Destiny minifigures, topped off with a Green Army Man head (as a tribute to JOEs and the soldier toys that came before).

More pics in my thread:

Some of the TMNT and CoD figures nad sets hit Five Below. Single figures $3, small vehicle and figures sets $4, and small multi figure sets $5. None of it new, but might be good for fodder. I got this guy just for the guns.
