Skeletron - Modern Updates To The Classic UK "Red Shadows"!

(1/1)

The Spectre:
A new toy company called "Skeletron" (https://skeletron.com/), named after the final mail-away action figure from the 80s Palitoy "Action Force" line, has teamed up with one of the original Palitoy designers to breathe new life into updated versions of some of the "Red Shadows" villains from the classic UK toyline.

They have already released several action figures, both in modern 4" construction and "retro" 3.75" o-ring construction, all available on their website, with more figures, including 6" versions, on the way!

The main draw of this line is a fully modernized version of the highly sought after "Roboskull" vehicle! It is scheduled to arrive sometime after May of this year.

I have both items pictured below on pre-order and cannot wait to have them in my hands!

The Spectre:
I just got home from work so I have not gotten to open this yet, but the Skeletron action figure dedicated to my late friend Gary "Goggles" Head arrived today! Gary was a longtime member of the collecting community, a "G.I.Joe" historian with a massive collection of prototypes, and a good friend that, sadly, left this world at way too young of an age in 2014.

The likeness is pretty great at this small scale, and I am very impressed.

The proceeds from the sale of these figures ( https://skeletron.com/collections/frontpage/products/4in-red-shadows-gyre-wolf ) go to Gary's family, so you can get yourself a great action figure and contribute to a great cause at the same time.

Tamer:
Nice. I have to get this to the front pages.
