Hero Force-new CANADIAN action figures-
« on: December 29, 2011, 11:21:20 PM »
Hi folks, caught wind of this in the news today:
http://www.heroesforce.com/Examiner/
http://www.heroesforce.com/
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/story/2011/12/29/ns-action-figures-canadian-military.html
 They seem to be selling quite fast, might be the start of something promising and popular.

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. ;-)
