2010 JoeCon: S.K. Omega Presentation

Posted by HissCommander on Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Aside from the amazing 2010/2011 line up Hasbro showcased for us at this years JoeCon, there were few things around the con that caught the attention of many fans and collectors. The S.K. Omega project was one them.

Created with the soul purpose of bringing back the roots of what made action figures what they are today, the guys at MMI have come up with not only and amazing toy line, but a comic and animated series as well.

The toy line itself is pure nostalgia. 3 3/4″ figures sporting the original “O-Rings”, vehicles reminiscent of those from the original 80′s Joe line, and playsets that will blow your mind. All of these created with the idea of bringing back quality products at very affordable price.

If there is one line you should keep an eye on, let this be it!
