Toy collectors have a new line to get excited about as Tim Ellis of Giant Leap Toys introduces his upcoming N.U.K.E.S. action figures Kickstarter. In the video interview, Ellis revealed details about the 3.75” O-ring inspired toy line that pays homage to the neon-soaked ’90s era of G.I. Joe, while offering a fresh post-apocalyptic twist for today’s collectors.

The N.U.K.E.S. universe is set in a dystopian world where factions like New York, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Texas struggle to survive, while the villainous Fallen roam the wastelands. Each faction features unique characters equipped with inventive melee weapons—like fire hydrant hammers and buzzsaw machetes—crafted from scavenged materials. Ellis also teased special features such as glow-in-the-dark skulls and translucent figures to keep the line visually exciting.

For fans of O-ring figures and G.I. Joe nostalgia, N.U.K.E.S. action figures promise to deliver something new while capturing the energy of classic ’90s toy lines. The Kickstarter campaign is expected to launch in early 2026, giving collectors the chance to back a line that blends retro design with modern creativity.

Stay tuned for updates as the launch date approaches. The N.U.K.E.S. action figures are one toy line you won’t want to miss.
