Laserpunk Toys from France has these great sets up for sale at both Storenvy and BigCartel. You get 3 fully-packaged hand-painted resin figures, along with accessories, stickers and a mini-print for only $39.
The series is limited to 25 sets, and each figure is about 3 inches tall and sports 5 points of articulation.
You may notice the resemblance to old M.A.S.K. figures and that's no mistake! According to the creator:
P.U.N.K.S. is a tribute to the Mask action figures made by Kenner in the 80's: truly my favourite toyline as a kid.
I wanted to create toys that match the size and style of this dead and gone collection, I even added fake knee articulations to make them fit with the appearance of the original action figures.
"The P.U.N.K.S. were 3 dumb, aggressive and twisted kids who lived in a shabby alley, drinking booze, terrorizing the neighborhood and trashing the area. One day a mysterious man came to grant them with mysterious "power helmets" and strange weapons. He told them "thou shall rule the streets" and these 3 a**holes became the most dangerous criminals in town, armed with the very weapons of chaos and destruction..."
There's even a great one-shot "Stupid Origins" comic over at the Laserpunk Toys site.
I'm digging the look of these guys and I'm sure a lot of other mini figure enthusiasts will as well, so be sure to go get your set before they're all gone!
