SECRET BASE NEW SKULL BxB CYCLOVILLIAN

Secret Base Cyclo Villian

It seems like forever since Secret Base had a new fight figure character. But this new CYCLO VILLIAN is a winner. Based on an old 12" suit and enemy to the Sharkman fight figure released a couple of years ago. It appears it's a mask that goes over a head just like a Skullbrain. I'm not sure about the new hands though. Due to the poor exchange rate and high shipping, this one will set you back around $88 total. Bummer cause it's a great figure and a welcome return of the SECRET BASE fight figure! Order your's by sending a note to: info@secret-b.com

Old School Onell: Rechlen and Aves

Onell Design: Rechlen and Aves

Matt and Crew have been dusting off these old Rechlen and Aves figures from the eariest days of Onell Design. They are even thinking of going into production for these 2" figures and wonder what you think about it. I say bring it on...! A smaller figure is totally welcome on my desk. I think it will be a really interesting way to mix things up. I'm digging the wavy hair too. I would also really be interested in more vehicles that the figures can actually sit on top of or inside. Action figures + vehicles is always sure fire awesomeness...!
