In the golden age of action figures, 1982 brought about a set of unique, intriguing, and enticingly enigmatic toys: the original Sarge Team and The Bad Guys action figures. These figures were born out of the innovative toy company Remco. Though perhaps not as widely known as some other classic figures, they offered a distinctive touch that still resonates with vintage toy collectors today.
Remco Lines’ Similarities
In the world of vintage action figures, size does matter. So, when Remco released 5 1/4” versions of their 3 3/4” Sgt Rock & The Bad Guys line, it represented an exciting step up for fans. Remco molded the figures in the same distinctive style as their other iconic figure lines, such as Lost World of the Warlord, Warrior Beasts, and Pirates of the Galaxseas.
Original Sarge Team and the Bad Guys Action Figures
Every action figure in the Sarge Team and The Bad Guys series came packaged with its own rifle, backpack, and binoculars, creating a more complete and engaging play experience. However, it’s worth noting that some figures shared the same accessories, and over time, the backpack and binocular straps have proven to be somewhat fragile and susceptible to breaking.
Even today, it’s not uncommon to find these figures Mint On Card (MOC), but the Sarge Team figures are slightly more challenging to locate than the Bad Guys. Loose figures sometimes appear in mixed lots, but it’s rare to find them loose and complete. Many collectors remain unfamiliar with or uninterested in these two lines, adding to their enigmatic allure.
Series Line-ups
The Sarge Team comprised Sarge, Ranger, Gunner, and Chutes, while Snake, Shark, Buzzard, and Wolf represented the Bad Guys. Each figure held its own unique charm and personality, adding depth and dimension to the play experience.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the original Sarge Team and The Bad Guys action figures from 1982 exemplify Remco’s commitment to creativity and quality. As we continue exploring the fascinating world of vintage toys, figures like these remind us of the rich history and enduring appeal that continue attracting new collectors.
