Plasty Airfix may sound like a character from Star Wars, but it's a company that made the most wonderful action figures. With rubber trousers!
But the best isn't the sheriff, or the water police, or candyman / road worker, or even Batman - it's the most villainous villain to have ever villained, DR WAR!
UK comedy references: Dr War without his helmet looks a bit like Kryten from Red Dwarf, and Batman looks more like Del Boy dressed up in Only Fools and Horses!

Wilhelm Albert Reginald Krieg was born in 1906, he studied egyptology, but by the time he finished, it became clear that the golden age of egyptology was long gone. And it's a pyramid scheme anyway. Enraged by the realisation that he has wasted his like, he took on the moniker of Dr War (from his initials and the fact that he thought his family name sounded more menacing in english) and set out to destroy civilisation and create more ruins that he and his apprentices could study. His most powerful weapons are his arm mounted rockets, which he acquired after he ripped out his own arms and replaced them with elbow-less rocket launchers. His biggest weaknesses are the fact that he has only two rockets (really should've thought that through beforehand) and that he can't bend his arms. Driven to madness by an itchy nose, Dr War is the ultimate threat to humanity!

Credit where it's due- rubber trousers on an articulated figure, and the fact they haven't turned to snot by now are really impressive! I wonder which extremely toxic material is still keeping them in shape;] (I'd be very disappointed if they're just made out of silicone... Old toys made out of safe materials? Preposterous! At least, looking at the accessories, we still have the good old choking hazard.) Also, I love that Doctor War (PhD, no doubt) looks like Kryten from Red Dwarf after a rough night out:D

Hey Ashens, along these same lines there was a line of Dragon Ball Z toys produced by a company called Irving (or something like that) here in the US. I dont know if they were ever produced across the pond, but they put out this line that had four figures in it, and the draw was that they could be normal or super saiyan. Instead of just coming with extra heads or whatever they had these ridiculous full body rubber condoms that you'd slip over them making them chunky and off model, and, of corse, destroying any and all articulation. It's glorious.

Figures with random weapons they couldn't possibly hold, some weirdly obscure characters (Remember Minotia, from _Wrath of the Dragon_ ? He has his own figure. Pretty sure that movie wasn't even dubbed in English at that point), Dragon Balls with inconsistent size and coloring... wild.

If the feel of the rubber legs freak you out, you should try a Phicen.

They're also surprisingly heavy so the combination of texture and weight makes most people nearly drop them upon first holding them 😆

I’ll have you know Dr. War earned his PhD-his thesis was titled “The influence of rocket jetpacks and low-visibility helmets upon history” and it had an impact on global strategic planning for decades, until the weaknesses in his theories were shown by the failures of Commando Cody

Thumbs up for Buckethead! Weird dude, but super talented. His guitar is a bit unusual too. Those red dots are buttons that act as a killswitches that can cut the signal from the pickups.

These remind me of a similar late 70s early 80s action figure range that came in small brown oblong boxes and looked a bit like smaller versions of Playmobil figures. They came with accessories such as road work signs or motorbikes. Can't remember their name for the life of me.

That must come as a big disappointment to everyone but at least in 70's germany there where readworkers running around in vests that where not far off the figurine. And a bit shorter version (for running away 'n stuff) is still widly used even whit that odd striped pattern.
