They're marked 1985, but may not have come out till 86. Direct competition with the Coleco Rambo line. I remember seeing them on store shelves side by side. The carded examples don't seem to show up very often. I imagine the second series is probably a lot harder to find. Along with the deluxe boxed sets. I don't think demand is that high though so prices are usually pretty reasonable.

So are Slam, Snake, Rizzo and Zack all brothers or cousins, lol, they look suspiciously similar, lol. Great figures, I hope to hunt them down. Do they appear more online or have you come across any in shops etc...?

Three brothers and one sister. I'm not sure witch one is a female though...Probably Slam or Rizzo.  I've only seen them online. Actually there's still some on the shelves at the local Rite Aid. Unfortunately I got kicked out of there for playing lightsaber and attacking the druggies at the pharmacy counter.  |

I saw those too, but I'm fine with my loose ones for now. Nice group DrBo a couple of HTFers in there, LOL. I've got a few weapons so my loosies probably won't look too bad on display either. Not many Dog Tags though.  I'm still working on displaying some of my collection, but It looks like crap, so I haven't taken any pictures yet. |

Just like Toyboxraider so far I was lucky, I got Rizzo and Lightning on a big Rambo lot and the rest I found on a E-Bay store who also sold Rambo stuff and listed them as knock-off if I remember well. I tried to look from time to time but they have such a generic name and are not widely known its hard to pin-point a search about these! |

I know, it is so hard to find them listed, usually to find the carded I type in Marchon and for the loose I look through the Rambo collections. I really like your collection Doc, and like Dal said you have some hard to find ones.
Griz I hear you about Shadow and Blood I want those two so badly!!!!!

i believe so but theres little regard for marchon so its hard to confirm. i recall coming across loose figures in the wild so they made it here somehow.

Great pick ups, Raider. Your M-Force collection is coming together rather nicely.

Thanks Griz!
Pyro is one of my favorites Dal, I need to put him out front.
I think next I want to find Mean Jo Ling and then move on to some of the figures that DocBo has. I like the fact that in this carded group (if you can call those cards - they really are beat up) I got a cross-bow and another bow and arrow set.
Were the accessories randomly packed with figures or did it differ between the first and second series?

Great collection dude!
I tried to have the right weapon displayed with mine but with your carded Rizzo it look most figure came up with any various weapon set!

The cards are beat up, but you already have them loose. Doesn't look like you have Ace's hat though. I wonder if it even fits his head?

Who made them and what year are they from? Can't make it out from the cards.
You guys should be able to get them up in the archive soon. Seems like we've got a few M-force collectors here.

Hey Centurn, they were made by a company named Marchon and they were put out either in1985 or 1986.
You are right Dal, I still like having these on the cards and I do not know if that beret fits him or not.

I have the 6 figures from the first series MOC, just waiting to track down the second series, or at least a few of them before putting up a section on the site.

Thanks for the info! Which figures blong to the 1st series and to the 2nd series?

Post by toyboxraider on Sept 12, 2007 11:48:24 GMT -6
That is what I think too 10incher, which is why my next hunt will be for Mean Jo Ling to finish my 1st series. As others have stated here, I believe the second series figures are a little harder to come by. This is one of my favorite lines now!

Post by Centurn on Sept 13, 2007 2:34:15 GMT -6
OK, so...
Series 1:
Ace
Mean Jo Ling
Rizzo
Slam
Snake
Zack
Series 2:
Blood
Ivan
Lightning
Pyro
Slasher
The Shadow
And all series 1 figures were re-released on the series 2 cards.
Is that about right?

Does anybody got a list of M-force figs with weapons or know of a website archive. I have 2 figures but unsure who they are or what goes with them.
Thanks
