Here is a thread to discuss Operation Monster Force by Fresh Monkey Fiction.
Will add more info to first post
BigBadWorkshop and Fresh Monkey Fiction present Operation: Monster Force!
The Forgotten King has returned. Once a sorcerer pharaoh whose reign was so vile his name was erased from Egyptian history, the Forgotten King pursues a sinister agenda, gathering mystical artifacts from around the world for some unknown purpose. Every soldier sent to stop him is killed and re-animated into an undead zombie that is under the Forgotten King's command.
Worried the Forgotten King’s rein of terror will not be able to be stopped, the military enlists the help of monster hunter Declan Van Helsing. Seeing no other option, Declan goes against the Van Helsing family’s wishes and opens Tomb 13, freeing the worlds most powerful vampire…Count Dracula. His rationale - it may take a monster to bring down a monster.
And so, Operation: Monster Force is formed! Under Dracula’s direction, a unique vampire strike unit is created called “Delta Red,” whose undead condition makes them immune to the Forgotten King’s powers.
It’s a race against time for Dracula and Van Helsing to discover the Forgotten King’s hidden lair and destroy him before his mysterious plan reaches completion.
Each 1:12th Operation: Monster Force action figure includes over 20 points-of-articulation and includes accessories such as: alternate portraits, interchangeable hands, plus an Operation: Monster Force gravestone base for easy posing and display!
I was already liking this line but The Donner Party has me hook, line, and sinker.

@robokillah honestly wasn't sure about the figure but the bio sold me
Seeing these in person at Power Con was a real treat. Was already excited for the line, but the physical pieces look phenomenal. Spent a solid 20-30 minutes talk to Chris from Grindhouse Toys who does the paint masters and he seemed to let on that there’s some pretty neat stuff still to be revealed.
This line was definitely a highlight from Power Con. The prototypes looked incredible! I had already pre-ordered a few of these, but I have a feeling I'm going to spend way too much money on this line.

Exactly. I mean, it's already a cowboy and a frankenstein, but to be the sewn together remains of the Donner Party dead and eaten? C'mon, that's just cool.
The Donner Party as a figure is just frickin' brilliant.
This week's figure never went up for order. A weekly release of preorders is gonna help me make some poor decisions
I want a Frankenstein in my Monster Squad, but I think I want him more military than frontier. It's a cool idea that doesn't fit the look is the rest of the shelf.
There's a good chance I'll cancel that pre-order at some point.
On the other hand, Dr. Caligari and his Sleepwalkers have me SO excited. What a great enemy faction. I'm a real sucker for a good brain-in-a-jar foe*. I love the creepiness of his troops being mind controlled and their "what's a Nazi?" aesthetic. AND they're making a conversion table I can threaten other figures with. So neat.
* I need to get my hands on the pigeon brain-in-a-jair from Super7.
Does anybody feel like the Donner Party figure gives out Doc Frankenstein vibes? Instant pre-order on that one.

Considering we're getting a Creature's Commando show on Max, might be worth seeing what McFarlane does for Frankenstein

I don't collect McFarlane, but his previous take on Frankenstein almost got me to start. It's pretty great looking and plays to his style.
But Creature Commandos is exactly what's inspiring my Monster Force. I know I'm a bit off-lore, but that's the baggage I brought with me.
For those of you also very interested in them continuing their Red Shadow homages like they did in their 4” line, I was given the impression to not worry. They’re coming.
