Skull Crushers Big Bad Toy Store Exclusive Gridiron Studies Warfare Preorder and Early Information
Things are heating up in the 1/12 scale world and I am genuinely excited to share early info on this one because the Monster Force line is heating up with on the next figure release of a Skull Crushers Big Bad Toy Store exclusive and the weapons were designed by Gridiron Studios, and this release is shaping up to be something special for modern military collectors. Being that this is a Big Bad Toy Store exclusive immediately tells you availability is going to be focused and likely competitive once preorders go live, and the fact that it comes packed with weapons designed by Gridiron Studios, is a huge development given their reputation for highly detailed loadouts and accessories that elevate an entire look of the figure. Even without getting into the visuals just yet, there is a lot to unpack here, from the chase-style helmet lineup with multiple color variants and a mystery piece, to the overall presentation that feels very deliberate and collector focused. What really caught my attention is that we were sent early details by an anonymous source, and while we are keeping things close to the chest for now, it is enough to confidently say collectors will want to keep their eyes peeled. This feels like one of those drops that sneaks up fast once it hits the site, especially with the added exclusivity factor and Gridiron Studios handling the weapons design. We will be diving much deeper into everything included, but for now, consider this your early heads up that something big is on the horizon.
Update: Preorders are now live!

The figure is shown wearing a black tactical vest with layered pouches, a skull face mask, and a black beret, paired with gray and black camouflage pants, knee pads, and heavy boots. He’s gripping a modern rifle with a detailed sculpt, while additional gear like thigh holsters and ammo storage wrap around the legs and torso, giving the whole loadout a dense, kit-heavy look. I really like how the crisp paint on the mask and the tight fit of the soft goods and armor pieces pull everything together as he’s posed standing firm with the weapon raised.
The figure is shown in a tighter close up, highlighting the skull face mask with sharp black and white, paired with a textured black beret that sits snug on the head. The eyes are clearly visible through the mask opening, and the upper body armor shows layered tactical vest, sculpted straps, and compact pouches pressed close to the torso. I’m really drawn to how the rifle is pulled in tight to the chest here, with the hands gripping the weapon cleanly and the gear around the shoulders and chest looking packed and ready as everything lines up in a compact, focused stance.
The image shows four Skull Crusher helmet variants presented head on, each featuring the same respirator setup with ribbed hoses, padded ear covers, and red eye lenses, while the skull shells themselves carry different finishes. There’s a cracked white skull, a metallic green skull, and a metallic blue skull, each catching light in a different way across the sculpted surface, alongside a fourth option kept as a fully blacked out silhouette to tease a mystery version. I like how the shared tooling keeps them consistent while the paint treatments give each helmet its own personality, especially with the mystery piece adding a little suspense to what ends up in the box.
