I came across these on a search and wasn't sure if these are common knowledge or not... They're way too expensive, but at a smaller price point I could see getting some for crowd shots and such.

I bet they're undersized compared to the modern and 25th style figures especially, though.

Some of them would look real good hanging out at my Dreadnok Roadhouse...

I'd be afraid that they would be just enough smaller to look out of place.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. And I don't mind if the women are a bit small. At least around here, the sort of gal who chooses the sort of profession they seem to be posed for is usually on the petite side, with a slight build and standing maybe 5'2". I'll be ordering some of those $4 figs.

Well, I ordered a few of the women. 'noks need their women. Now I'm wishing I would've ordered some of the garage sets that Northern Tool had back in December.

The Cop cars and the one 1:16th scale fire engine caught my eye

I think that guy on the cell is the guy that pushes all the little kids out of the way rushing to the Toy aisle while talking on the phone, to the very next guy who's happy that he already scored his sweet, sweet variant figure, and then calls his buddy that got the latest treasure hunt car and he gives him a heads up from the McDonalds window while the last guy looks on in shame that his friend beat him to the last 2009 series white lightning car. I may have to order those and give them to my local scalpers as gifts. :rotfl:

Some of the girls are kind of tempting to pick up either to pose with Shipwreck or to get into the craziness of the cartoon with some Cobra plot of a Cobra car show.

you probably cant tell from this pick but ive some for awhile in my 50s diner setup. theres a few greasers by the door and 3 waitresses. i think the size is fine i even sanded the bases off and balanced them carefully to look a little more natural.

Hey, that's the Ludolfs! They'd fit in with the Dreadnoks.

They're neat, but a tad expensive for me (at $9+).

Is it bad that I would (if I had the money of course) would want to buy these guys just to get the head sculpts for casting and custom use.

Those stickers look familiar...

Haven't seen you in awhile. Welcome back.
