French Indiegogo user Blackcherry Special wants to know:
Do you miss the long-defunct M.A.S.K. toyline from the 80’s like I do?
If so, this campaign is for you. From their Indiegogo campaign page:
P.U.N.K.S. is a retro M.A.S.K. style series of 3 inches articulated action figures with accessories, the first series in the 1:24 scale Laser Punk toyline!
P.U.N.K.S. means “Powerful Useful Nasty Kommando Scums” (what would be a tribute to M.A.S.K. if not named with an acronym?). Like every Laser Punk figures to come, they’re 3 inches tall / 1:24 (yep, that’s the classic M.A.S.K. scale!) action figures with mask (let’s call them “Power Helmets”), weapon and have 5 points of articulation.
How cool are these figures? Right now, there are 3 different P.U.N.K.S. characters nicknamed after their haircuts (Mohawk, Celtic and London). Looks like he plans to produce 99 different figures in this line, provided the project gets fully funded.
Let’s help make it happen! Click here to read about the entire campaign and all of the goodies available, including a P.U.N.K.S. comic book! The goal and contribution numbers are in euros, so here’s a handy dollars to euros converter if you’re thinking of donating.
(There’s no shame in looking it up, I taught Global Economics less than 5 years ago but had NO IDEA how much the dollar is worth relative to the euro.)
So go back P.U.N.K.S. and get yourself come rad figures!
That’s pretty fucking bad ass. I need to start earning some real money so I can buy cool stuff like this.
Me too.
