G.I. Joe Fans, Here Are 6-Inch Scale Action Figures For Your Shelves
Back in 2014, there were various rumors running that Hasbro was going to produce a G.I. Joe “Black” line of 6-inch action figures. Considering what we have seen make it to shelves, it’s looking less and less likely that Hasbro will do anything major or significant with G.I. Joe until there’s a new movie headed for theaters. Too bad, because both movies, I believe, harmed the G.I. Joe brand more than helped.
Fortunately, the Army Alphas project at Kickstarter is here to give you a chance at 6-inch GI. Joe-like action figures. The project has about $90,000 to go before it meets its goal, so if you’re looking for 6-inch scale modern military/police — as well as a skeleton in this scale — then check the project and jump on in. Hell, maybe if this takes off like mad then Hasbro will take notice and dust the cobwebs off of G.I. Joe. Nah, that seems unlikely.
These figures are 1:12 scale (6â€) and in scale with with Marvel Legends, DCUC, DC Multiverse/Movie Masters, and many other collector lines. Some parts such as removable vests, removable heads, and weapons will also be compatible across various lines. The heads, for instance, fit on the mid-size Marvel Legends male body. The heads, necks, and vests from all Soldier and SWAT figures are compatible with any of the Soldier or SWAT figure variations offered in the line. Part swap to your heart’s desire!
