Playing Mantis Joins The Action Figure Army
|
 As the military action figure market continues to expand, one entry will stand out for not taking itself so seriously: Army Men from Playing Mantis. This Hyper Action figure line, which was first unveiled at the San Diego Comic Con this past Summer, is based on the extremely popular series of video games from 3DO that first began with Army Men 3D. The first series features Team Leader Sarge Hawk, Lovely Soldier Vikki, Plastro (leader of the evil Tan army), Commander-in-Chief Col. Grim, Mine Sweeper Hoover and Bazooka Specialist Riff. Each 7" action figure has 10 points of articulation, and comes with weapons, accessories and a "dog tag"-stlyed display stand with a trading card. The Army Men action figures will be coming to a store near you in February 2001. [Posted 10/02/2000]
