Eagle Force - Marketing

Marketing

Eagle Force was released through Target stores in May 1981 where they instantly sold out. However, Mego closed down in 1982. Apparently, an unnamed company used the Eagle Force molds to create a line of figures called simply "Action Figure". The packaging was totally different than Eagle Force packaging and most of the figures in this line were painted the same as the Eagle Force line. However, others were painted very differently as it seems that only a tan skin color was used for the heads, therefore the Sergeant Brown figure is a caucasian and Redwing has a tan head with brown arms.

After 1982 Eagle Force action figures were released by Ideal whose released them in packages with "Strike Force" printed where "Eagle Force" was printed on the Mego releases.
