Official Canadian Release

The Architects Return.
The Legacy Continues.

If you grew up in the golden era of 3.75" action figures, you know the names. Larry Hama. Ron Rudat. Mark Pennington. The visionaries who built the world you collected, the stories you lived, the characters that defined a generation.

They're back. Not to recreate the past—but to build something new with the same DNA, the same craftsmanship, and the same passion that made the originals legendary.

This is Operation: Recall. And this is your invitation to be part of history.

What Is Operation: Recall?

Operation: Recall is a premium 3.75" modern O-ring action figure line created by the original industry legends who helped define military collectibles in the 1980s. This is not a retro reissue. This is not a tribute line.

This is a creator-driven return to form—built by the people who invented the format.

Wave One represents the first production release of an entirely new universe, combining classic O-ring construction with modern sculpting, premium accessories, and story-driven character development worthy of serious collectors.

The Creative Legends

Operation: Recall reunites the most influential names in action figure history—the original architects of the 3.75" format who shaped an entire industry.

The Visionaries Behind the Line

Mark Pennington — Designer of more than 75 iconic figures during the original era
Ron Rudat — Legendary toy designer responsible for classic character iconography

Bill Merklein — Sculptor behind over 70 figures during the golden era
Kirk Bozigian — Brand executive who led the line during its peak years
