21st Century Toys Misfits





These are the 1999 1/6 scale figures of Doyle and Jerry which i got this last July. Being a fan of their music, i have been wanting these figures ever since i saw them. Head sculpt is very similar to both members of the band as well as their clothing, shoes and guitars. The face paint on Doyle is accurate as well as the tattoos on both figures. These figures are very rare and hard to find these days specially outside the U.S.

The box is coffin shaped and has a window of the front and the Misfits skull printed on the inside back. All sides of the coffin box has prints. The bodies are incredible! They are the ultimate articulated bodybuilder type bodies! These Misfits deserved some long overdue tribute to their unique place in Action Figure History. 21st Century never used these bodies again and these figures are gradually becoming rare collectibles. The Misfits bodies are huge compared to G.I. Joe, Max Steel, Dragon, Blue Box, etc. The guitars has actual strings on it, and a rubber strap connected by metal rings.

Though advertised in the box, the figures of Dr. Chud and Michale Graves never came to fruition. So sad, i could'nt care less for Chud but i surely would like to have a Michale Graves figure!

ITPT SS Obergruppenfuhrer REINHARD HEYDRICH


Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich (March 7, 1904 – June 4, 1942) was an SS-Obergruppenführer and General der Polizei, chief of the Reich Main Security Office (including the Gestapo, SD and Kripo Nazi police agencies) and Stellvertretender Reichsprotektor (Deputy Protector) of Bohemia and Moravia. Adolf Hitler considered him a possible successor. When the Nazis moved the headquarters of Interpol to Berlin in 1942, he was appointed and served as President of that international law enforcement agency. Heydrich chaired the 1942 Wannsee Conference, which discussed plans for the deportation and extermination of all Jews in German-occupied territory. He was attacked by Czech assassins in Prague on 27 May 1942 and died over a week later from complications arising from his injuries.


This is the In The Past Toys 1/6 scale Reinhard Heydrich. Got it last June. Excellent and wonderful packaging. Never bothered to open it up though. Comes with coat, named coat hangers, leather briefcase, SS ring, whip and certificate. Head sculpt is dead-on. The pins, medals, badges and belt buckle are highly detailed. No complaints about this one.
