In 2012 Jakks Pacific released a new line of small figures which was their own take on toys such as the classic M.U.S.C.L.E. series or Monsters in my Pocket. 4 waves were released in various packaging at retail before the line would disappear into obscurity.
Back in 2013 I did a post of the 4th and final wave of S.L.U.G. Zombies, a Christmas themed wave. I had originally planned to do a post on the previous 3 waves, but over the years I see to have lost/misplaced/sold the majority of the other figures I had. I recently found several from the 3rd wave so let's take a look at those.

ReplyDeleteThis was a fantastic line of minifigures. I hate that it ended so abruptly with so many cool figures teased but never released.
ReplyDeleteI agree. They did the Christmas wave and then they just disappeared.
DeleteI miss these so much! I know they had talked about maybe doing an alien line too.
