Post by: ARROW on December 29, 2011, 11:21:20 PM
Hi folks, caught wind of this in the news today:

 They seem to be selling quite fast, might be the start of something promising and popular.

Most excellent find indeed, great new action figures to look forward to and to pay tribute to our forces. Thanks for sharing ARROW!

The guy who designed these is a Joe Bro from Barrie.

I've run into him several times and was over at his place checking out his collection.

He is a great guy and I am glad to see there is some support for him.

Neat. I'd grab one.

Though he'd probably end up getting eaten by zoooombieeeees.

I'd buy a set, if I could find them on line. Maybe one of our sponsors wants to get a few cases in?

Awesome!
I would like some Canadian forces too.  ;D
I wonder what manufacturer the article talks about.
It would be cool if it were Unimax. http://www.unimax.com.hk/product_inside.php?cid=C42&sid=S56&type=toys
Anyone get any yet?

Here is his Kijiji ad for the Hero Force figures.  If you contact him he may be able to tell you how to get a hold of the figures.

Yeah I just caught the story too, good piece........I'd expect the furore over these figures to ramp up to a high tempo. They'll be sold out by Monday. ;-)
