Could you remove the stitching on Auz's belt, remove the buckle and add metal belt buckles like the ones used on Hasbro belts? Then resew the ends? Sometimes folding the belt material over just enough to stitch and the brass buckle adds a little length.
T-Gore was easily the best figure of the Villains line. A close second was the masked terrorist in the trench coat. 21st Century did a follow up of that figure wearing a generic green army jacket which was also pretty good. The Villains line was my favorite thing 21st Century produced. Too bad it came at the end of the 1/6th scale craze. 21C really led the charge on 1/6th scale figures. Besides Spawn figures, 21C dominated the toy aisle in the 90's.
Another figure I regret not getting when I saw one some years back. I always liked the concept in this though I don't understand why his face looks like that to this day. What's he supposed to be and all that. Also how on Earth is the Rhodesian camo controversial?
Great video! Did you know that theirs a youtuber who showed prototypes for 21st century toys? He showed prototypes for the villain line and some for ultimate soldier as well
Great find. Villains and America's Finest line are hard to come by. I long to get that fat police officer figure with a box of donuts included in his accessories. By the way have you seen the ads for this line? watch?v=4nIZC8Z28Ds
@deadchivalryfigures I actually got this set a few days ago, I looked it up for reference and found your video, mine has the hat and the weapons strap is different, I think it's a variation
Also theirs ultimate soldier and elite force figures going up for auction right now for good prices, I think that could cover more videos and give lesser known figures a review
Joes around this time had about the same articulation. I do miss these fixtures and packs too. Though some companies still make uniform sets. There are a few sites out there.
Cool set. Love the 21st century accessories. Ironically I have the Navy Seal Sam figure and he's now wearing Project Delta gear. This is what Don Shipley would have wore during his time in the Seals. I'm a huge fan of the Cold War-1990s drip.

I was going to say the head was a liitle loose. I don't own any of these figures though I get they were a homage to the 12" figures from the 60's. I do remember seeing them at Target and probably Toys R Us in the late 90's. I owned the 80's 3.75" line, Anniversary 3.75" line and some 6" Classified line.
I collected the re-released 90s - early 2000s ARAH Joes back then but never really touched the 1/6 scale line till just a few years ago. I've also seen them on the shelves growing up.
It's an honor to be corrected by you, Mr. Roberts. Yes they didn't make a single GI Joe but it was released under Kenner in the 90s they were already bought by and under Hasbro.
@@deadchivalryfigures I know what you mean the Ultimate Soldier uniform does feel like the real thing it even smells like the real thing. 21st Century toys treat their line as collectibles while GI Joe still retains the playable toy factor to it.
Wherever I can find them. I haven't bought anything on eBay, yet, cause the shipping is too expensive. But usually I just ask sellers, mostly they don't list these due to being "unpopular".
The reason for the Colt Model 654 carbine not having a trigger guard is because it was a reused from the Hall of fame line from the early 90s. They had big fists so most of the firearms that got included with the figures had no trigger guard.. Hasbro reused the molds for the early classic collection figures. I am not sure why this figure has it though. By this point they had already made much better CAR-15s and M-4s at that point. I really like the pistol and the M4 Benelli. Rare and awesome figure. Great video. Keep it up!
Yeah they just reused an old mold, but they have a retool example of the same gun with more details. I guess they just used this to cut cost. Which doesn't make sense cause this is one of the mid to high tier figure.
Welcome back. These are some rare finds. I have the Spetsnaz and the US Navy Seal pointman myself and 4 Vietnam war guys from the first Ultimate Soldier series.
Thanks, I had the Navy SEAL Pointman I was in the process of making a video of it, but got busy and sold it a few years ago. I have a few more lined up, but it's gonna take some time. It's really hard to source The Ultimate Soldier figures and sets.
Hello, I am very proud of your work on this topic. Our people fought for independence from America. I know that in this model series there are both "Viet-Cong" soldiers and "Soviet" soldiers as well. But unfortunately, because I'm in Vietnam, I can't order from eBay. Even if I could order it, I wouldn't be able to because the shipping fee is too expensive 😢
