The latest Dime Novel Legends Kickstarter is now live, and well on its way to being funded. Their latest offering is “The Cavalry“, featuring more classic Western 1/18 scale action figures. This assortment is geared towards army builders, which will include new figures, gear, and horses. They are looking for a total of $76,000 to fund the campaign, with numerous stretch goals planned. Check out the Kickstarter Page to back the project. You can see some images after the jump.

Like the proverbial bad penny, Chicken Fried Toys is back again, with more spicy authentic Western sauce, as you like it! This time around, we are presenting our first Army-builder centric lineup: The Cavalry!

The history of the US Army Cavalry during the 19th Century is full of great heroism, greater foolishness, and grim tragedy. Used as a tool of the Federal Government during the push to expand Westward they were responsible for protecting settlers as they moved across the plains towards California seeking homesteads. They also had the task of relocating the Indigenous Peoples towards reservation lands as they were forced further and further away from their ancestral homes. Many terrible tragedies occurred during this time, and atrocities were committed to this end. Sadly, this leaves a checkered legacy behind whose repercussions are felt in lives of Indigenous Peoples even to this day.

A positive outcome of this period was the inclusion of free and freed African Americans to the Cavalry ranks, creating such storied units as the Buffalo Soldiers. These men served with pride and distinction in the pursuit of a better life and livelihood for themselves and their families. Their descendants meet in Clubs and Associations even today to celebrate the influence these brave men had during a time when they were at an extreme disadvantage.

The history of the Cavalry today is filled with tales of glory and adventure. While the pageantry and camaraderie are fondly remembered, we want to present these characters with warts and all for you to enjoy, and perhaps even learn a little something more about the period in which they all lived and died as Legends.

Comic book writer Larry Hama is now an action figure from Fresh Monkey Fiction!

Los Angeles, CA (August 2021)

Back by popular demand Fresh Monkey Fiction is re-releasing their 1/18th scale Larry Hama action figure.

Larry Hama has been many things: a storyteller, illustrator, rock musician, storyboard artist and actor, but he is best know for being the major creative force behind the popular G.I. Joe comic book and action figure line.

This figure fits perfectly with other 1/18th scale action figures and is suited for adventures at a convention, on a stage, or even tackling the might of a deadline. This version 2 figure also includes a set of interchangeable hands and removable hat.

Extreme Sets have been producing great cardboard based dioramas for years now. Most have been at the 1/12 scale, perfect for Marvel Legends, Black Series and now G.I. Joe Classified. They have however produced several 1/18 scale pieces that work great with our vintage and modern era 3 & 3/4th scale Joes.

Today we are taking a look at two of their newer 1/18th scale sets – The Cabin and The Bar. Each are smaller versions of 1/12th sets. The Cabin seems to be inspired by a classic movie featuring evil and dead things. The Bar is a unique set featuring a counter, multiple seating booths, opening bathroom door and tons of signage you’d find in a local dive bar. Both give you some new environments beyond the standard warehouse or warzone rubble buildings to display your figs.

Read on to check out our shots of both – there are some basic overview shots and we hired the Dreadnoks to show off a bit too.

These are both out now over on Extreme-Sets.com, who also sent these through for us to review. I’d also suggest scanning their 1/12 sets now that G.I. Joe Classified is in full effect!

Extreme Sets 1/18th Links: The Bar, The Cabin, Deranged Alley 2.0, Building 3.0, Police Station (Pre-Order), Building 6.0 (Pre-Order)

Extreme Sets 1/12 Links: Wave 9 Pre-Orders, Dojo 2.0, Building 4.0 (Pre-Order), Ground Pack
