The team at Ramen Toy just dropped a huge bombshell for fans of classic 1980s television and 1/12 scale action figures. In a surprise social media post, the company confirmed they are officially diving headfirst into Hazzard County.
The brief but loud announcement came directly from their social channels, stating: “We just decided to make some Good Ol Boys and their cousin because, remember this old TV show? YOU ASKED FOR IT!”
For fans who have been following the company’s recent vehicle releases, this news is the missing piece of the puzzle they have been begging for. This project is shaping up to be a major addition to the 6-inch scale world, bringing a beloved television classic to life with modern toy engineering.
Catering to What Fans Demanded
This announcement represents a direct response to community feedback. Ramen Toy is well known for listening closely to its audience, and this project is a prime example of giving collectors exactly what they wanted.
The “Good Ol Boys and their cousin” line is, of course, a direct nod to Bo, Luke, and Daisy Duke from the legendary television series The Dukes of Hazzard. While the company has dabbled in stylized, inspired vehicle releases in the past, creating a dedicated, fully articulated character lineup in the 1/12 scale ecosystem is a massive step forward.
For a long time, collectors have had to rely on custom-made figures or vintage, under-articulated releases to populate their shelves. By introducing high-quality, fully poseable action figures of these iconic country cousins, Ramen Toy is filling a huge void in the market. The community response has already been explosive, with collectors expressing immense excitement over the high-end digital sculpting and detailed plastic costuming that captures the true essence of the classic series.
Expanding the 1/12 Scale Ecosystem
What makes the Ramen Toy Good Ol Boys figures such a big deal is how they fit into the broader landscape of modern action figure collecting. The 1/12 scale (commonly referred to as the 6-inch scale) is currently the most popular format in the entire hobby.
By anchoring these new characters in this specific size, it allows them to seamlessly cross over with other popular lines on display shelves. Fans can easily integrate these figures into existing dioramas, photography setups, and displays alongside other pop-culture icons from the same era.
Furthermore, this lineup perfectly complements the highly sought-after “Tiger Orange” vehicular releases that have previously made waves in the community. For fans who already own a 1/12 scale muscle car chassis, having the correct, character-accurate figures to place behind the wheel is a dream scenario. It transforms a standalone vehicle display into an interactive, storytelling centerpiece.
What to Expect Next
While the initial social media teaser was brief, it has set expectations incredibly high. Ramen Toy has built a strong reputation for delivering clean sculpts, excellent articulation, and high-quality accessories.
With major industry events like JoeFest right around the corner, collectors are keeping their eyes peeled for the first physical prototype reveals. If their previous catalog is any indication, these figures will feature the premium engineering that modern collectors demand.
