2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year 🎊 

The Mighty Crusaders line of action figures is as campy and cliche as they come and I absolutely love it! Everybody's name starts with "The" and the exaggerated, super bright aesthetics of each figure harkens back to the golden age of comic books !  "Joe Higgins A.K.A. The Shield! F.B.I. agent with super strength, the power to leap great distances and withstand 2,000 degrees of heat! " There's not much to these figures. 6 points of articulation, and an action feature that allows you to pull back on the right arm and release for mighty punch action! They have a real 70s feel to them even though they came out in 1984.

The one thing that stands out to me about this figure is his handle. The Fox! Off the bat I'm thinking covert, sneaky but deadly. According to the card back profile, Paul Patton is a freelance photographer who is skilled in the martial arts and is considered to be a living weapon. I love this guy already! He screams "Solo Mission!" Here he is all decked out with accessories. Luckily, the figure stood the test of time and came out in one piece. The holster was pretty stiff out of the packaging but nothing a blow dryer couldn't fix. Overall I'm very pleased. I love the costume design and color scheme. He's like a cross between Black Panther and The Phantom. Also, that yellow logo rocks!  I also love the fact that he's able to carry all of his accessories. The rifle strap fits nicely around his torso and the blaster fits snug into the oversized holster. The shield doubles as a whistle and works great. I tried it😁 And then my dog start...

This is kind of a weird thing. I feel like  I either owned or knew someone who owned this figure as a kid but can't remember exactly when this all happened. Heck It might just be a false memory for all I know. I could be confusing it with the Voltron Robeast Scorpious figure. Regardless, I'm really digging this line right now. Much like their Lost World of  Warlord line of action figures, REMCO took a not so popular Mighty Crusaders  comic book franchise and made toys out of them! From what I gathered, the original Mighty Crusaders comics of the 60's were written by Superman's co- creator Jerry Siegel. That lasted only 7 issues and then in 1983 Archie Comics affiliated Red Circle Comics revived the series. REMCO then produced an action figure line. The Fox is my favorite of the  8 that saw releases. I paid a little more than what I wanted to for it but I just had to have a complete specimen. The card back, even in poor condition is also nice to have for reference. I...

It's hard to express what this figure means to me.It's not because I loved this line as a kid,heck I didn't even know who they were when I got them for Christmas back In  1984.At that time I was an avid watcher of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.I think my mom had caught on because soon after we made a trip down to the local public market where she let me pick out an action figure.I believe I chose Fisto. That Christmas ,there was a huge box under the tree with my name on it.It turns out the box was filled with He-Man MOTU.......no....It wasn't He-Man at all.There was a guy with wings on his head and a cape.Some  native american  looking dude and a bunch of monster hybrid warriors.What I received that Christmas was a box filled with Remco Lost World of Warlord and Warrior Beasts.Ouch!My parents must have thought they were MOTU figures.I liked them,but knew they weren't anything I had seen on TV.There was no Lost World of Warlord cartoon and I knew nothing abo...
