Earth Force by Pace Toys

[10incher]

Well after some searching, it looks like the original Earth Force thread has disapeared so I will start a new one.

Recently saw a carded example of the dark green Earth Force figures sell on Ebay. Would have bid, but it was a US only auction. Still now we know that series is called "Star Ranger". I updated the site's Earth Force page to what we currently know

www.action-figures.ca/earth_force.htm

I have that figure and his teammate in my collection both are complete.

I noticed the pic in the guide did not load.
i can shoot it for you, or shoot pics of both figs.

Good spotting on the auktion Chad now there's just one EF team left to identify, the tan ones.

lmk if needed

Which tan ones are you talking about, the Camo looking one? I think I might be the one that bought the figure you are talking about. I did buy one on ebay a week ago that was listed. Do you need names or a scan of the card back?

A scan of the cardback would be great. that would identify my two "star rangers" and the complete fith team.

I thought there was also a sixt team or are there more than 2 figures within the star rangers?

I have two dark green ones but i know there are at least two tan, brown greyish characters out there that have not been identified.

I sent you an email, let me know if you got it.

got it

Sent you guys a PM. Would love to see a pic of the cardback on this series of figures and maybe add some new pics to the guide. LMK

Thought this was an interesting find. This helmet on the right seems to be a re-use of the green/red helmet from one of the Star Rangers in the Earth Force line. The middle one is from another one of the star rangers (not sure on the name) and the left one is from Major Barton. If I had to guess, I would think the right helmet came from the bootleg series of the "Last Warriors" but I could be wrong. I know "Space Patrol" used similar helmets, so I guess anything is fair game.

[thekurgan81]

I remember having the one on the right molded in beige/sandy colored plastic with red and black painted details it came with the Last Warrior with the green cap and pants. I also remember the olive green beret, vest and pants guy and silver beret, vest and pants guy also came with the same helmet. The other 3 Last Warriors came with a helmet similar to that one in the centre. I remember having to put a little blob of blue tack in the helmets because they were quite loose!

[victoryleo19]

Yeah I never quite got how Earth Force designed all of their helmets to fall off practically by looking at them. The one on the left seems to fit the best, but still falls off immediatly when touched.

[victoryleo19]

Found this guy the other day. The plastic on his body seems a little different but I cant tell for sure. He's only labeled ENGHAN. I'm assuming he came with some kind of orange helmet also. Must be a knock off of Earth Force, unless they made another wave of figures?

[10incher]

Very cool, my guess is some type of foreign knockoff but you never know. Where did you pick him up Victoryleo?

[victoryleo19]

Got him in the US actually. Weird because I rarely check it, but he was just sitting in a mixed lot for about 12 bucks.

[victoryleo19]

Got this lot off ebay recently. Whenever I find my camera I will try and take better pictures. The most interesting part of this I thought was the blue foot armor, and the blue shield. Not sure if it would go with the neon series of figures, or some other kind of bootleg entirely. I'm also undecided how I will try and reconnect the broken figure's legs.



This was also a US domestic purchase by the way, which leads me to further believe these neon figures were available in the US

Could you post your pictures on to this thread so we all can see. I'm interested to see else this line has to offer.

[victoryleo19]

Finally got these neon guys together for a photo. The legs are in really bad shape on all of them, so I'm still wondering how to do repairs on designs like this.



I also have another set of armor and weapons that seem to go with a knock off of Earth Force. If you notice, the shield,boot, and armor piece are all of really crappy quality plastic, and are smaller than the usual weapons they are molded after:

[skullbooska]

the armor goes to this prize. sadly you are missing his terrible pink friend.

[rawlin]

Omg what the hell is that!! what is that purple "friend" LOL

[10incher]

Lol, thats quite a superhero duo!

[Terrible Tony]

I recently picked up these 2 guys. The blond guy is in great shape, but other guy needs some touching up. Both came with complete chest plates, 3 boots, attachable back piece for one, but no helmets. Which one is the one referred to as Ned E. Utron, the blonde one or the brunette one? The picture on the Action Figure Guide is still missing. Also, does anybody know the name of the other one?

[galaxystarshooter]

Nice line Looks kinda like Rambo & the Squad guys morphed to make this line. Nice weapons as well Always like when they have little buddy figures

[uks]

Did they ever do a follow on from this range? I have a figure that looks like a cross between the Rambo in the above photo and these guys. He is mostly black with yellow trim and is definetly a bad guy!

s30.postimg.org/dqm8zv2gh/image.jpg - Note the similar helmet..

in fact, thinking about it. Is Earth Force a knock off off a preexisting line? Those helmets are VERY familiar, but do not look at all what I would call "premier toy" quality!
