Default what other 3 3/4 figures do you know about

we all know about the bbi, corps, and the other wildly 3 3/4th figures that we most use alongside our joes. but im sure that some of us know of or have ran across some that others on here may not know about. for example

to small for real joes, but i am thinking of getting a cena (although i hate him) to use as a custom nok. it would be great if they had the diva. so anyone know of any other 3 3/4th figures that arent wildly known?

Cool Not so much..

Not so much wildly unknown but I use the A-Team in my custom joeverse. I also use the space precinct figures as general po-po.

Pictures.
Custom a-teams, work in progress.


Original Galoob A-Teams.
Hannibal

Face

B.A

Murdock


My own custom a-teamers aren't complete, for instance i want face in a leather jacket with blue shirt, more like how he appears in the programmes.

Also here are the Space precinct guys as regular cops.

I have some old MASH 3 3/4 inch figures. Most I got from buying the 2 MASH bases I have and they came in the Lot off eBay. A lot of the 70's shows had 3 3/4 inch figures like Buck Rogers, Dukes of Hazzard, the A-Team, but their articulation SUCKS!! I always wanted to get a Joe sized Airwolf, though!

I like those Wrestlers! A little paint app and some leather jackets and "POOF" instant NOKS!Or if not, just have them as themselves and Cobra trying to kidnap them for Ransom on a USO tour! Or Cobra Trying to blow up a filming of Saturday Night RAW.

Damn, I'm getting Ideas again....the pain!!...does anyone have an asprin for my aching wallet?

Mego did some -- there was a line based on the live-action Disney sci-fi move The Black Hole, and some Star Trek: The Motion Picture (possibly from the next film or two -- can't be bothered to check, this is all from memory).

The original Battelstar Galactica had figures around 3.75" but they were a bit chunkier and with less articulation. I only have the Imperious Leader though (somewhere...) so I don't know how figures like Starbuck, Apollo, Adama and Cylon Centurions might look alongside Joes.

There was a series of Doctor Who figures in the late '80s; can't remember everyone they had, but there was definitely the 7th Doctor (Sylvester McCoy), his assistant Mel (Bonnie Langford) and Daleks. If the current Who figures were 3.75" or 6" (like Marvel Legends) I'd have been all over them...

EDIT: I forgot to add to the conversation that Galoob produced a line of not-very-articulated Star Trek: The Next Generation figures in this scale back when the show started in 1987.

Dirk Benedict is the MAN! He became a cult hero among my circle of friends in the mid-'90s when both A-Team AND Battlestar Galactica were being rerun on UK TV. I try to ignore his appearance last year on Celebrity Big Brother...

Hmm... In "Galactica 1980" they'd found Earth but it was some years after the original series and Starbuck had mysteriously disappeared. Maybe he somehow ended up on Earth ahead of them, with amnesia, and was wrongly imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit...?

Voltron figures were Joescale, they were pretty cool. Captain Power, I had a few of them as a kid. And there was a Sgt. Rock line, by Remco I believe. The Raiders of the Lost Ark figures from 1981, but they seem to be hard to come by. And of course Star Wars figures new and old.

You guys should check out:

3 3/4" Archives

Though it's far from complete, obviously not tackling the big ones GI JOE and Star Wars, or Fisher Price's Adventure People. Plus there's gobs of 3 3/4" military lines it doesn't include, the Corps, Remco's American Defense, etc...
