21st Century Toys insurgent figures

[Dropshipbob]

Does anyone have a source for the two Taliban/insurgent figures made by 21st C toys? I thought smalljoes.com still had them, but I looked yesterday and don't see them listed.

3/4 prizes for the new contest contain those two turds.

Are they really that bad?

 

[K-Tiger]

A case study in mediocrity. Boring 21st articulation, goofy expressions and an underscaled MG in the one case.


Personally I'd rather build insurgents from Indy parts.

 

[NSA]

I always thought they looked okay for static stuff.. the indy figures don't move very well either.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, but their heads will fit on a Joe body.

 

[NSA]

I need to find more.. most of the ones I've seen have a very large hole (huh huh), where the Joes' have a small peg (huh huh)

 

[K-Tiger]

Customizer of your skill and you can't fill a head hole (heh, hehhehe)?


THe one with the completely covered face would pass as a woman if I could get the eyes painted right.

 

[NSA]

True.. Guess I should actually TRY before complaining about it. Playing with the Sahara figures.. but they seem even more useless than anything else.

 

[K-Tiger]

Jesus, what a pointless line that thing was.

No Huey and no Patton = Waste of time.

 

[K-Tiger]

What did we actually get, the two figures? I dunno why they even bothered. Flyboys would have been a better line.

 

[NSA]

Yeah, wonder why.. seems like it'd take some investment to even make the figures/packaging.. why not make the vehicles too?

 

[fogger1138]

Sounds like we need someone to cast some insurgent heads.

 

[NSA]

Or just case some turbans that fit over Joe heads.

 

[K-Tiger]

Sounds like we need a visually interesting OpFor.

Broken Arrow Toys has some of these...I ordered some in my last order. It should ship one of these days...

Like Ruskies! Or Chinese.. oh wait, we did get Short Round

 

[K-Tiger]

Doctor Jones!

Typical 21st blundering.

 

[Fled74]

Speaking of OpFor, does anyone know of any figures I can customize into Somali militia?

 

[K-Tiger]

It's really all about the right paint job. second hand BDU trousers and a t-shirt would be a good start.

 

[Fled74]

Yeah, but there appears to be a shortage of bare-armed fodder figures (to my limited knowledge, anyway).

 

[K-Tiger]

Starduster/Duke/OG Tunnel Rat/Chuckles/Viper

Backwater African militia are probably one of the easiest, as just about ANYTHING will work.

I'd love to do one with a life perserver and a hyena.

Oh this is getting done!

 

[K-Tiger]

You know the photos of which I speak, I see?

 

[NSA]

I need some 1:18 gardening gloves.. and maybe an umbrella

 

[ThunderDan19]

Wow, this thread is so gonna be Eddieism fodder...

 

[K-Tiger]

Hell, those lousy Tunnel Rat/Starduster hands will work as garden gloves.

There's another photo of a different militiaman wearing a life vest.

Oh, snap, it's the same cat!

 

[NSA]

Some of my faves...

 

[NSA]

HAHA! Awesome!

 

[Fled74]

I've seen those photos too.

I might pick up a few Dukes or Tunnel Rats for fodder.

My quick and dirty militant custom of the day!

Inspiration LOL

Still got some fine tuning and cleaning up to do, but the idea is there.

 

[Fled74]

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Brilliant!

What is up with the life jacket….?

What is up with the life jacket….?

... it saves lives?

 

[K-Tiger]

Oh my god where is that life jacket from!? I NEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

This should be a fucking custom contest.

Cutter from the TRU exclusive "Sea-Fuckers" 3-pack that came out in the 25th line.. I had him bouncing around my extras box for years and you totally made me find a use for it!

 

[ThunderDan19]

Heh, is that a Marlon-cord head I see before me?
