Magpul/Costa 1/6th warrior action figure.

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…

No Magpul stock?

And just when I thought I’d seen it all…

(someone has to show this to markm)

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

Okay, now I’m interested!

they did a pretty weak job on the beard…

it should also talk…

New magpul dynamics instructors?

Count me in for that class!

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! :smiley:

Will it say “Retentiation” and “Ambidextrious” ? :wink:

“+1”

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

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. :smiley:

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:

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 :wink: )

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?

I’ll allow it. :cool:

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 :wink:

no, that’s totally allowed.

This is just wrong…

On.

So.

Many.

Levels.

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