Small Scale Military Headquarters

Dime Novel Legends

I didn’t know where else to put this, but since it’s a non-military stuff, I guess this would be the right thread.

This company called Chicken Fried Toys is announcing the launching of its Western theme line of toys named Dime Novel Legends in 1/18 scale (or may be 3.75”) of old west fully articulated action figures.

Apparently in October they will start with a kickstarter campaign in which they’ll launch their first series of 15 figures and also say there will be a second wave later on of another 15 figures or so.

Obviously I instead would like more military stuff on this scale rather than cowboy figures, but nowadays producing new 1/18 items it’s so scarce that I’m kind of happy with this western line because you never know, this company might eventually will get into the military toys-hobby market if their sales with this line of figures in 1/18 scale are good.

These are some of the first wave of figures:

The Marshal


The Trail Boss


The Territories Lawman



The Saloon Bartender

Those are some really awesome figures and perhaps Western-themed action figures will have greater appeal to a larger audience. But this could lead to some other period military figures... In a western line, I could easily see a Genera Custer, 7th Cavalry soldier, and Souix Indian warriors

You're right buddy! I really hope so.

Actually on their FB page, they said that on the second wave of figures they will have some cavalry soldiers and Native American characters

The prototypes look outstanding!

I saw these at JOECON and they are very neat.

Wave 2 is planned and will have military figures.

To me that vigilante looks like Lone Ranger but anyway

Don't forget this Kickstarter starts this weekend!

I haven't seen a Kickstarter link yet so again here's their Facebook.

I posted this in June...
