HISSTANK.com has just received a few production samples for the upcoming Marauder Task Force Kickstarter release. First up is the Command Ops Trooper and we wanted to show all the fans who purchased figures, just what you are getting with one color deco. I can tell you right now it was worth the small delay to get things right.
Check out 40+ images of the Command Ops Trooper and our quick thoughts after the jump.
Marauder Task Force Command Ops Trooper
Pros
Unlimited customization
Each figure works with each other
Tons of gear
Above average articulation
Solid body design
Quality paint
Cons
Each figure is a repaint
No media support
Overall
For those of us who enjoy action figures in general, this is the start of a new Era. With small business being able to lead the way using crowd source funding options, that are driving new ideas into the market place. The Marauder Task Force figures have proven to me, that we can get high quality action figures, with new ideas that work with fans.
The Marauder Task Force figures bring customization to a new level. Each part can be used with any of the gear packs included in the sets of action figures. It’s amazing to see just how much you can change up one body type, just by adding different sets of gear and heads.
The quality of plastic and paint also seem to be top notch. I don’t think anybody who purchased a set will complain at the type of plastic used or the durability of the paint decos. The gear and the ports that were used to hold the custom parts in place are perfect for people who keep figures on display. The ports hold the gear fine when static, but you will have issues if your tying to play with these like your a child. I am not one of those people so glue is out of the question for me.
Overall the new Marauder Task Force figures are a step forward in action figure design. People who supported this line should be proud they funded this project. This line is how every G.I. Joe fan wants their figures to interact with each other in this size class. I’m not sure that big toy companies will ever care to mass produce a toy line like this, but if the action figure community continues to fund quality product like Marauder Task Force, the future of action figures is limitless.

Hey Folks!
Marauder “Gun-Runners” is excited to introduce the MARAUDER TASK FORCE Action Figures!
Highly detailed, fully articulated figures with multi-role customizable designs and featuring a wide variety of “modular” interchangeable accessories. The nameless, faceless, minions are ideal “army builders” or perfect "backup" troopers to use with other currently available action figures. “Night-Ops” Marauders, “Desert-Ops” Marauders, “Urban-Ops” Marauders…whatever mission, the Marauder Task Force figures can fill the need.
The Marauder Task Force figures feature multiple designs, several color options and a large number of accessories. REMOVABLE Helmets, headgear and vests coupled with a wide variety of INTERCHANGEABLE accessories (holsters, sheaths, ammo pouches, pockets & more)…leaves the final figure & accessory combination up to you!
Each fully assembled, factory painted, 1:18th scale action figure is produced at a high tech manufacturing facility using modern ABS & PVC materials (NOT handmade “castings” made out of “resin”). We were fortunate to work with the incredibly talented designers and sculptors at Boss Fight Studio on this project. Seriously, the figures need to be seen in person to really appreciate the level of detail (pictures DO NOT do the figures or accessories justice!).
We’ve launched a Kickstarter pre-order project to help get the required funding to start production. Designs, prototypes and paint masters are COMPLETE…all that remains to do is tool up and produce the actual figures and accessories. Please visit the Marauder Task Force Kickstarter project page for more pictures and greater in-depth details about the project.
