Heads up, Eagle Force Fans! The all new Fresh Monkey Fiction Fans Facebook Page has just shared a teaser image of the head sculpt for Sgt. Brown, the Eagle Force Demolitions Expert! This upcoming line is shaping up to be spectacular and I for one can’t wait for the kickstarter campaign to begin!
Just in case you’re not familiar with Eagle Force (but by now you really should be!), here’s a quick refresher from the Eagle Force Wikipedia Page:
Eagle Force was a 2 3⁄4-inch-high (70 mm) die-cast action figure military-themed toy line marketed by Mego Corporation in the 1980s in the United States. Produced during Ronald Reagan’s first term as president, the Eagle Force toy line was marketed to send the message that the United States wasn’t going to be “pushed around” anymore.[1] Designed by Bill Baron and Paul Kirchner,[2] Eagle Force was similar to the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy line, which was being developed by Hasbroduring the same period.[3][1]
The primary concept of Eagle Force is that it is an elite United States Government counter-terrorist task force organization composed of special forces experts. In their fictional universe, Eagle Force was created to combat the Roving International Organization of Tyranny (R.I.O.T.), a terrorist organization driven by the desire for world domination. Eagle Force is commanded by Captain Eagle, who wears an eye patch. The ethnically diverse cast of Eagle Force members include Big Bro, The Cat,Harley, Kayo, Redwing, Sgt. Brown, Stryker, Turk, Wild Bill, Zapper, and the female figure Goldie Hawk. R.I.O.T. is led by General Mamba, assisted by Baron Von Chill, Beta Man (an arsonist ), Nemesis the Saboteur, Savitar the Ninja, and a Shock Trooper figure.
There’s sure to be more reveals in store for us, so make sure to check out the Fresh Monkey Fiction Fans Facebook Page and join us after the break for more Eagle Force discussion already in progress!

Didn't see it mentioned here so I'm posting this today. The good people at Boss Fight Studios are designing new figures in 1/18th scale based on the 1980's Mego property Eagle Force. Based on their collaboration with MGR's, it can mean nothing but great things to look forward to in 2015.

Kinda surprised Boss Fight would directly compete with both Marauder and Hasbro. Well, maybe not so directly in Hasbro's case since this won't be mass-retail product, but still!
It'll probably be pretty awesome...wonder if they're using the HACKS system on these?

Holy smokes...I loved these as a kid. Fantastic news! Eagle Island is still a great iconic playset.
I missed out on the MTF Kickstart as I had unexpected car repairs the week it closed. No way I'm letting this slip by.

Oh yeah! Hope they're 1:18th-ish scale!

Ha! This is awesome!
I remember being excited seeing the commercials for this line back in the day and becoming disappointed seeing them in real life at the store as the scale was incompatible with the Joes. Finally the scale issue has been corrected, only took 30+ years.
Enemy Leader says
Wow, I was thinking about these recently. "What were those little metal Joe-like figures with the plastic heads that had a blue ninja?".... I had a handful of them, thought they were cool.
RolandofGilead says
According to Boss Fight, these will be similar in design to Modern Era Joes. No mini metal figures to be had.

I only had Stryker as a child. I'd like to get these in all in Joe scale though.
I'm hoping for the good folks at Boss Fight to make us some 1/18th scale Buck Rogers, Battlestar, Sectaurs and Crystar figures.
