Remco...The Bad Guys.

[salvatore]

Hey guys, i've been away for awhile....wedding plans = no cash for toys. Anyways, i'm back in the game and hope you guys can come through for me again. I recently purchased a Remco Bad Guys Shark figure. My first time seeing this line, they look great. I'm wondering total # of figures in the line and if they're were any vehicles or playsets made available in the line. Any pictures or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanx guys.

I just found a site with what looks like the entire 3"3/4 line-up. I believe the one i purchased is a 5" version. Still wonder if they made vehicles for the big boys. Hmmm.

Remco made 4 of the larger Bad Guy figures - Shark, Snake, Buzzard & Wolf as well as 4 Sarge Team (or Sargeant Rock) figures. I don't think there were any vehicles or accessories for the larger versions.

I still need a Wolf figure and have an extra Snake to sell or trade. Also need Srage & Gunner from the Sarge Team.

These guys are on ebay all the time and usually go fairly cheap. The Sgt. Rock figs seem to be a little harder to find, ell except for Sgt. Rock himself. I'll post links here when I run across some.

Does anyone own the 3 3/4" Vulture, Grizzly, Wolf & Hammerhead. Just wanted to know if they are packaged with the same accessories as the other 4 figures?

so, i just got a bunch of Sarge Team/Bad Guys on ebay tonight. I was trying to find a pic somewhere on the net for Gunner, one of the ones i got, but couldn't find one anywhere. figure-archive.net doesn't even have it listed as one of the figures in the series (unless the misnamed it with the name Bull, because i can't cross reference that one anywhere). afa figure guide doesn't have a picture. anyways, my reason for searching it out was that i was wondering (and hoping) this is some type of camo paint job on the guy instead of discoloring:

Remco seemed to like to change the names from those listed on the back of theior packaging for the 3 3/4" figures, so changing the larger ones' names would be no surprise to me.

that's what i was thinking. well, i just picked up 7 of the 8 moc for pretty cheap on ebay. now all i need is Sarge! pretty stoked!

the 3 3/4 figures look kind of junky. are they?

[figurecollector]

I always liked army men from when I was a kid, so I have picked most of them. Some tend to be loose jointed, but my biggest complaint is that they cannot hold their weapons well.
Many of them are repains of others also with just a difference in uniform (or which side they are on). You can get them to pose to some degree, which differentiates them from the regular one position army men.

its always hit or miss when it comes to remco quality. i feel that the motu ko lines are very well done and durable, but on the other end, stuff like mighty crusaders are kind of junkily built. i've never seen one of these 3 3/4" figures in hand. some of the figures that i have found via image searching reminded me of those dollar store figures we have now, poorly painted and 90% of the time broken inside the package. the army men nostalgia is shared, and i do see that in these. that may weigh in on maybe getting one sometime soon and try it out. thanks for the input!

I had quite a few of the Sgt. Rock figures when I was a kid. I buy them now, when I come across them for cheap. In my experience, the Sgt Rock 33/4" are pretty darn sturdy.
From what I remember, I NEVER had one break on me when I was a kid.
They got a lot of play time too, being the enemies and allies to my Joes.

I recently got my first Sarge Team figure. He came with a backer card, unsealed bubble, backpack and a Mego POTA machine gun. So he was clearly removed and put back into the bubble. He has this weird cord around his neck that almost looks like it's for dog tags. I haven't seen this on any of the Sarge Team figures I've seen on the internet. I didn't want to remove it if it was original. Anyone seen this before?

I have Snake, Shark, & Buzzard all MOC. I've been looking for a while and can't for the life of me find a Wolf MOC.

I have a theory about these guys- I think they're pretty rare, but nobody knows they exist. Even as a kid I knew about the 3 3/4 Bad Guys, but had no idea the larger scale figure existed until a few years ago.

These guys are so weird, like a strange He-Man/GI. Joe hybrid!

I have some of the 3 3/4 inch ones as well as some Sgt. Rock. They were great no-names for G.I. Joe battles. The Sgt. Rock vinyl house thing was a ton of fun!

There were boats which are plentiful to find, but the vehicles are most difficult to find.

I got one of the 5 in figures carded for $30 a few weeks ago. I think its snake. Back in the 80s i got a snakeyes gijoe and s rapidfire bike . But i was tight on cash so i got a few sgt rock figures to help snakeyes. And i got a enemy figure with ack ack gun too
