Voyagers was shown off this weekend at Powercon and it seems to be taking some of the sci-fi and space characters from Fresh Monkey Fiction's Eagle Force line and reimagining them for the 1/12 scale.

Yeah this line is pretty interesting to me, as is all of the current Fresh Monkey stuff. The way they're getting reuse from different lines is intriguing. I noticed the hands from Cyborg Santa on Dracula's body for Peter, and it's a great pairing with the TV set head. I was very tempted, and still am, by a lot of the Monster Force stuff, and I do have that cyborg Santa, but this might be the line that really drags me in.

Any kind of Micronauts, even psuedo-Micronauts will drag me in. Can't wait to see more.

I have all of The Hidden in 1/18th scale and I'll more than likely buy them all again in 1/12th. And I love the screen-headed mofo.

They said there'd be another lore book for this line to explain who the characters and factions are, and I'm really going to need it. 

Looking at the 4" figures in the line, I'm getting kind of a Flash Gordon, Earth man on a strange, pulpy alien world. 

In any case, the TV head guy suggests this will be way more gonzo than I was expecting, so maybe more Farscape than Flash Gordon.

@ibentmyman-thing though I do wonder if the 1/18 ones might be more appropriate at the 1/12 scale lol

@fletch I don't know why there would be. but there are some very small micronauts (the hidden are micromen/micronaut "homages") in the Revolutions SDCC set Hasbro did back in 2017

I was kidding. Just riffing off your comment about 1/18 scale Hidden.

To be honest, I wasn't prepared for you to come through with mini-Micronauts.

I wish I remembered more important shit than part of an SDCC set I don't own that was made to tie in with a failed comic book crossover universe.

OK.... so the thing is... when I'm admiring 1/18 figures from afar and saying - I'd buy these if they were 1/12 -  that's me being relieved I don't have to spend more money.    It's not me asking for them to make them in 1/12 and pick my pocket  😆 

 

These look fantastic and I won't be able to resist them - especially the Micronauts homages.   Not that I needed another boutique 6" line to be spending money on.   Sigh.

Yyyyyup.

Gonna have to get one or two of these, for sure. Luckily, I don't care about the goofy Micronauts nonsense so I'm okay there. But the other designs look like they're going to be a lot of fun.

@theknightdamien I don't like the Marvel Legends style buck being used on Wild Bill. It's fine for the Hidden but Wild Bill needs texture.

Peter is where it's at for me. That design is the right kind of wild.

But you're right. I'm pretty indifferent to Wild Bill, but I think if he had a more textured costume I'd almost certainly be more interested.
