Magpul/Costa 1/6th warrior action figure.

[Iraq Ninja]

You know that you made the big leagues when fans start making action figures about you.

I really don't understand the allure of these 1/6 action figures. But one collector decided to pay homage to Magpul dynamics with this...

Hmm, now this is interesting if not a bit strange..

At least it is a fan job and not a serial production by someone like Dragon.

Ken might as well join the French Foreign Legion, once Barbie gets a load of this! :D

Will it say "Retentiation" and "Ambidextrious" ? ;)

"+1"

I hope it's their new line of unarmed defense classes, hand to hand or ground-based grappling, or something.

[jaydoc1]

There is no part of this thread I don't find disturbing.

That being said I'd sign up for every class taught by the girl dolls. :D

[chadbag]

disclaimer: I am NOT in to this hobby at all. However, I did for a time try and sell the Dragon 12" 1/6 scale figures as I find them interesting. I was talking to someone last year from the forum that these seem to be taken from (as I was trying to close out remaining items). The guy explained that most people take the figures and mix and match parts to create new custom figures.

So I suspect that this "fan" mixed and matched parts he had in his collection to make an approximation. So the beard would have been whatever head the guy had lying around with a beard. Not custom done just to match Costa.

Dragon is only one company that makes these "historical" action figures. Here is a gallery of some of their figures:

http://www.dragon-models.com/catalog/figure_pics/

I have been giving my son 2 Dragon figures each year for his birthday. He was born in Jan 2003 so the first several years I gave the modern Iraq figures but am now giving whatever WW2 figures I have left in stock. He is not allowed to play with them though until he becomes a teenager. He has gotten some el cheapo 12" action figures to play with until then (and promptly destroyed them ;-) )

Chad,

Did you ever do a gun show in Houston with these toys? There used to be a guy who sold them and my son got a few.


BTW, I found a great photo of a 1/6 scene that I want to post, but it shows exposed plastic breasts. I assume that is not allowed?

[chadbag]

Chad,

No, only the local Utah ones. Was never a traveling show person.

I find the realistic weapons and equipment to be fascinating on these sorts of figures and the historical contexts they are put in. But alas, my customer base did not find them so...

I guess that is what Photoshop is for ;)

[bkb0000]

no, that's totally allowed.

[KellyTTE]

This is just wrong..

On.

So.

[chadbag]

What is interesting is Google has already indexed this thread including IraqNinja's 1/6 scale scene he found and wants to post.

After spending the last 3 days with Chris in San Jose I'm just going to go ahead and say it:

Good god. The gay porn that will be made by fanboys with these is unfathomably retarded.

[GermanSynergy]

These would be great for my 2 y/o cousin once he gets older. His parents are San Francisco type leftists and would probably flip....:cool:

Dude, you can get a whole army of such things... Dragon Models is one vendor of them dragon-models.com (click on the action figure icon in the middle bottom). (I am not associated with Dragon Models directly -- they are just the only manufacturer I remember). Give his parents a massive heart attack

Wait, I'm confused. Isn't that your doll Derek?

[Shane1]

There are several companies that make various 1/6 kits, figures etc. Toy Soldier, Hot Toys, DID and others. I would call this more like 1/6 model building than toys at this point. The detail on some of these have to been seen to be believed. M4 with charging handles that move the bolt, metal m16 mags with springs and ind. rounds, etc. I have kitbashed my team as we were kitted in Iraq as gifts when we got home. Ive also kitbashed fellow officers, etc. There was at one point a 1/6 display in the ASOM in Fayetteville.

Absolutely, i got the pre-releases. I keep them in the boxes, to keep the value up.

Correct. I actually have a few of the aviation related ones as well and the detailing is simply amazing.

These aren't the G.I. Joes that you remember from your childhood. The detailing is amazing and the prices reflect that. There are several people that make works of art out of these "dolls" as well. Here are just a few:

Whats really sick is that the doll looks like the lovechild of Chris AND Travis...

Thats just freaky man.

[Derek_Connor]

Im sorry. I just can't follow this doll shit. They are dolls. Not toys, or collector items.

For the other 2 guys in this thread, especially whoever posted pictures of their dolls, go to your closest male friend, and surrender your Man Card to them. Its been revoked.

And also dont forget to put your testicles in a mason jar, and give them to your wife, if she doesn't already have them.

I doubt they are real. My guess is if they were, they would have created little magpul CTRs and stuff for the gun... the PMAGs look legitimate though. It's a very nice fan made custom, IMHO.

Your male insecurities are no reason to be a prick, even if you were joking. ;)

I highly recommend that you remove that grain of sand before it causes an infection... ;)

P.S. Those weren't my figures but do admit that the artistry involved is amazing.

To paraphrase Jules:

Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf**ker.

Just because you can make it 'detailed' and 'cool' doesn't make it any less a 'doll'.

[organdonor]

original plans were to produce a 1/8 scale model but during product testing kid's heads were exploding. they scaled it down to 1/16 to limit the exposure to Costa's beard.

[chadbag]

They appear to be "fan" creations using variou 1/6 scale 12" figure pieces and accessories.

[Titleist]

Simple rule of thumb, if you can change the clothes on it, it's a DOLL!

I was going to show these to Chris on friday, but I was afraid he'd just get too skeezed out to teach the class.

I don't give a sewer rat's ass if it's a "doll", "action figure", "statue", "model", whatever. All I said was that you can find an amazing level of detailing on some of these custom made figures.

For example, I've got a miniature 1/6th scaled flight helmet, (HGU-55/P with MBU-20 mask) that the detailing is exact to the 1:1 helmet, which I also have.

There's no need to feel like your "man-hood card" is threatened or at risk... ;)

Simply appreciate the details and craftmanship found in the displayed figure.

No one "plays" with these "dolls"... :rolleyes:

[JonnyVain]

Is that sun block on his nose?

Of course they're not real. Why would they put an ACE stock on a Magpul guy?

[Moose-Knuckle]

I'm sure someone from TOS made these...stop it with the faggotry already!

I LOL'ed when I saw The Simpson's character Jeff Albertson (a.k.a. Comic Book Guy) with his famous "worst toy ever" quote....bravo sir!

[Col_Crocs]

No Magpul stock?

I know right? Looks like an ACE stock. Who actually makes these?
Nice avatar BTW. :D

[c3guns]

I don't know how old most of you guys are, but as a child of the 70's, I can tell you with definitive certainty that:

a. G.I. Joe can kick the ass of any of these fancy boy "toys" shown here.

b. G.I. Joe is an action figure, NOT a doll.

c. A real G.I. Joe is 12" tall... Those dumb little 3.5" things they came up with in the 80's were a pathetic bastardization that brought about the downfall of "The Real American Hero".

In all seriousness though, I'd rather see kids out in the back yard playing with "dolls", including all the realistic guns, boobs or whatever, than sitting on their dumb, fat asses playing video games for 23 hours straight.

Just FYI. The fancy "toys" shown here are all 12" tall. These are 1/6 scale, 12" action figures. The ones shown in this thread (Magpul Dynamics, Confederate soldier, American Indian, Roman) are one of a kind hobbyist creations based on production parts. Companies sell whole lines of these 1/6 scale figures with all sorts of realistic gear, historical clothing, etc. They are basically fancy and expensive GI Joes.

Having grown up in the 70s (born in 66) and having had a whole platoon or so of the 12" GI Joes, I can appreciate these ones.
