JUST KIDZ are toys that are a mixture of official, knock-off, and bootleg toys available in stores such as KMart and Target. The toys are very affordable ranging from $5 to $20. There are many themes such as military, police, fire rescue, and construction. Some of the toy figures, vehicles, and accessories are 1:18 scaled.


Military Playset
Got this as a present from a friend for my 25th birthday. Yes, I'm 25 already! How time flies!

Back of the box shows cooler looking wheels, a better painted figure, and a huge gun that was not included.
Image

This APC vehicle features 6 rolling wheels, rotating turret, opening canopy, and light & sounds. I'm very happy that the 4 electronic buttons match the color of the vehicle.

I was hoping that the rear would open but nope.
Image

Front & Rear Shots. Very bland looking.

Size comparison with Police Cruiser.

Canopy interior fits 2 figures. No steering wheel unfortunately.
Image

Rucker, leader of The Corps! "driving" the APC.
Image

Turret interior. Enough space to fit a figure up to his/her waist.
Image

The Corps! Crash manning the turret. By the way, the turret rotates 360 degrees but the cannon does not elevate. A huge letdown!
Image

As you can see, the canopy won't close completely because the figure can't go any deeper inside. You might have better luck with GI JOEs.
Image

The APC comes with a figure (left side) that features rotating head, arms, and legs. Not a bad looking figure but the figure on the box art features a more interesting paint job.
Image

Tons of accessories included! :-D The plastic is flimsy but for a customizer like me who appreciates anything that can enhance my post apocalyptic craziness, I love them!
Image

Enough accessories to arm an entire Corps squad!

Just 2 yrs ago, these things were bigger. Target & Kmart had their own versions, both the base bodies were the same, but Target had the Tank tread version with missle launcher & Kmart had the APC with cannon.

I switched out the wheels & tank treads on both. The back is hollow which can easily be converted to add seats and what not, which I had planned to do but never got around to doing it.

I've got a couple of the bigger green tracked ones from Target. At some point I'd like to get them modded into proper Oktober Guard vehicles.


EDIT: Battlewagon, could you use another color besides mod red? I almost passed on reading this thread because of the first few lines looked like a mod warning.
