I recently bought the entire set, boxed, and in really nice shape. I bought them because the price was right, and other things in this type of toy genre seem to resell well.
I think for play, there certainly are more guys from the time that could have helped this series; but imagine how comical a ‘Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure’ play scenario could be with your kids.

Someone gave me George Washington, I hated him because he only had 5 Poa unlike my MEGO star trek, so he couldn't pose at all and just felt kind of lame

I clicked the “read more” link. I guess these were made in China because the link was in Chinese! ��

I'm with earlier comment with no British figures or Benedict Arnold. As another Canuck, would be funny to be able to play Loyalists versus rebels… 🙂

I had most of them at the time, and currently have two boxed (Washington and Jefferson, if I recall correctly). The outfits are nicely detailed, but the bodies are pretty crummy, similar to the AHI Monsters.

I wanted Patrick Henry. I loved his purple coat.

I must admit, I did secretly want to collect these figures only because I wanted every 8" or 12" action figure ever made and I thought these were nicely detailed. I never asked my parents for them, however, because I knew I would get a load of grief from my friends.

How dare you mock our forefathers you Canadian!! Nah…just joshin'. I would have never played with these as a kid either. They would have never have seen the light of day from the bottom of the toybox. probably not even if they sold British General toys to go with it.

I have VERY clear and fond memories of growing up in Philadelphia in 1976. It seemed like we couldn't get enough Bicentennial stuff that year. Heck, I think I wore red, white and blue outfit combos that whole summer! (maybe an exageration) AND I loved Mego and other 8" action figures.

I had no interest in these as a kid.

There really should have been a Benedict Arnold in the line so the rest of them had a villain to fight.
