Boss Fight Studio’s Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. Action Figures

Boss Fight Studios are the designers behind many of the Modern G.I. Joe Figures and now they are branching off to create their own line of Highly Articulated Character Kit System. To get started they have created a Kickstarter campaign and need the support of the community to get these awesome figures out into the world. Their first series is based off Greek Mythology.

These seem to be more marketed toward the Custom Builder Community, but can certainly be enjoyed by any collector out there!

Our First Figures: Greek Warriors and Gorgons!

The theme for our first assortment of Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. action figures is Greek mythology. We were very excited by the huge scope of these particular mythos.  Our plan is to release an initial wave of four figures, plus several exclusives.

Female Action Figure Kickstarter “I Am Elemental”

May 162014
 

frontpage spotlight

Fierce female action figures that embody the Elements of Courage: Bravery, Energy, Honesty, Industry, Enthusiasm, Persistence & Fear.

IAmElemental Action Figures for Girls were designed to accomplish three goals.
First, they are intended to be a positive and fierce re-interpretation of the traditional female action figure.

Second, IAmElemental action figures encourage girls to reinvent the superhero myth by creating their own empowering stories. In the traditional, male-dominated superhero universe, action figures are endowed with powers from without (via a spider bite, mutant DNA, or some sort of “accident”). In the IAmElemental universe, the girl herself is the superhero – and she has all the superpowers she will ever need already inside of her.

Third, we set out to create a toy that is super fun to play with and collect. We knew from the outset that if the figures weren’t well-designed, nothing else would matter.

Thanks to the Creative Mind of OG13 member VanHammer, we now have a great Custom Group Project Contest for our Customizers!!!

“The goal of this contest is to create a new Oktober Guard member from a communist country other than the USSR.”

You have plenty of time to enter as the deadline isn’t until, June 16th.”

Here are the rules:

  • A bio must be submitted with your custom figure.
  • The character has to have a place of birth in their bio. Their real name is not necessary.
  • You must include their primary military speciality as well as their secondary military speciality. Be creative with these. I don’t want to see 20 heavy machine gunners.
  • You can submit as many entries as you want but only one of them will be included in the poll to decide the best custom. Tell me which one you want in the poll.
  • Be sure when you list the character’s place of birth to include the official full name of the country. I.E. People’s Republic of China, people’s republic of Bulgaria, etc.
  • The deadline for entries will be June 16th, 2013.
  • I will select the top 3 best bios.
  • The top 3 best figures will be decided in a poll taken part by the members of OG13.com
