S.T.O.P. vs. S.C.U.M.!!!!!!!

Well, it has already been two years since I got these cool little figures of a knock-off series called S.T.O.P. vs S.C.U.M. (Special Tactics Operation Control vs. Street Coalition Urban Militia! We were shopping for Halloween decorations at our new local Dollar Tree. Whenever I'm at a Dollar Tree or a Deals I always look at the toy aisle even though most of the stuff is for little children but sometimes they do have really cool knock-off figures and when I saw S.T.O.P. vs. S.C.U.M. it was a must have! They were only a dollar - 1 buck - $1 :o :shock: They had all but one :( I searched all over and had the cashier call the other store with no luck. So then I'm like well, I am a completeist so I gotta have that last guy so I had decided to get them and HOPE that I could find him online and thank goodness I was able to (more on that later).

Now, these figures are about 3 1/2" tall and in scale with G.I. Joes and others. the sculpting is very nice. Their paint isn't the greatest which I had to check each figure thoroughly which was a pain but I do love their tattoos. Their articulation is quite decent for the price and they are very durable. Their limbs are removable at the elbows and knees. They all have guns, however, they are molded/sculpted into their hands so they are not removable. They are Homieshop own creation and made by Greenbrier International Inc.

So there you go, take a gander at the pics that I took, questions? Just ask :)

The card front & back: I like the artwork, story, and bios. Actually a lot of thought went into this IMO!

Nice find! They really did put a lot into the back-story for them. I love how the paint job on the eyes of some of them really bring out a crazy expression. Especially Tank and Reco!

Pretty cool, Brandon. I have never heard of or seen these toys before. These actually look like the kind of stuff I would see in Tesco.
