This is absolutely zero news to anyone collecting action figures. I'm really not sure when this happened, but Marauder has created some amazing new 1/18th scaled figures over the past couple of years.
Just so I don't seem like a totally out of touch moron, I thought I would just offer a couple reminders. (Gee, thanks, Capt Obvious!)
Yes, I'm getting this stupid blog rolling again...
Marauder made suited figures that they dubbed "Agency Ops". Male and female figures in suits. Honestly, they aren't very posable due to the constraints of the jacket, but who cares? They make for some awesome CIA, FBI, MIB, or other agency figures. Marauder even made an exclusive "Theodore" figure (3rd from left) inspired by John Wick. Works fine for me!
Next up are the Contract Ops figures. Basically, they are just guys in t-shirts and pants. No specific uniforms. But once you gear them up, they become a highly skilled team of operators that will take care of your dirty deeds. But for a price!
Then there's the Vals (or Valkyries). With the t-shirt torso and generally military pants, they can also easily become a part of the Contract Ops teams. When Marauder first introduced female action figures, i wonder if they had any idea of the awesomeness that they had created.
There are other sub groups of MTF figures that have been created, but these are the main ones, with addition of the standard soldiers, that I'm interested in.
Marauder has also created an amazing subgroup of MTF figures that are inspired by World War 2. They've done some incredible work and the soldiers look amazing. US< German, Japanese, and British are the biggest categories of WW2 figures. They look amazing, but I'm not really interested in spending boatloads of money on them.
And then there's the dogs. And the Exo-Suit gear. Damn, they do awesome work!
