Heroes Force
Heroes Force is a line of action figures produced by promotional products specialty company Think Drink Inc. The initial product offering (First Edition) represented the three branches of the Canadian Military: The army (represented by the figure Sperry); the AirForce (represented by the figure Thibodeau) and the navy (represented by the figure Watson). Each member of armed forces is decorated with the Canadian flag on their uniform and is approximately four inches tall and realistic in all aspects of uniform and gear. The figure is a tribute to the Canadian military, and $1.00 from each figure sold is being donated to the “Soldier On” fund. Initially the product was done as a tribute, but success in its popularity has developed into a series of new figures with military accessories.
