Red Planet Toys Has Boots and Harry
The latest newsletter from Red Planet Toys clearly illustrates exactly why 12-inch scale action figures interest me. Between fantastic accessories and the number of characters available, the 12-inch scale is open to almost any type of characters and genres that could possibly interest you. And I haven’t even taken a shot at customizing 12-inch action figures — yet. It’s gonna happen, guys. But we all knew it would.
“Greetings and welcome to the first newsletter of 2010. There’s lots of great stuff coming out this year, so get ready!
First up is the latest release from ACI. The US Army/Special Forces Duty Boots in Black. ACI continues to bring us 1/6 works of art. These boots look so real you’d swear they were 1/1 scale! Grab a few pair today!”
And if boots aren’t your thing then take a look at this clearly Clint Eastwood-inspired 12-inch scale action figure from Brother Production.
“”Go ahead. Make my day.” Brother Production is going to make your day with this amazing figure of Mr. Eastwood in the classic film, Dirty Harry. This “Hard-Boiled Harry” comes with street base, .44 Magnum (the most powerful handgun in the world) and a headsculpt with an amazing likeness of Mr. Eastwood himself. These sets are very limited, so grab one today!”
The head sculpt on this guy doesn’t look as good as we’ve seen on other unlicensed action figures like the “Jack Bauer” figure (mentioned here) but it’s okay. I’m betting some customizer out there is gonna take this figure and push it that last little bit to make it perfect.
