Merit International Produces 1/6 scale figures and accessories, and distributes some great toys, like the Italian made DUST armor and figures by PAOLO PARENTE.

Most of their products are military themed, with an insane amount of detail. Some figures come with 1/6 scale machine guns that you can actually disassemble like the real thing. They are now taking that attention to detail and bringing it to the urban figure market with a series of figures designed with licensed urban wear by the likes on NIKE and DID.

One of the more interesting pieces is a 1/6 scale of artist/designer "Stash" and his designer brand fashion "RECON". RECON has three stores, New York, Tokyo and San Francisco. Each location has its own version of figure with different clothing, spray cans and "AUG" (machine gun). This is also the first 1/6 figure to have 1/6 Nike "Air Force One" shoes with permission from Nike.

The back panel of each version of the figures is designed to combine into a larger picture. Each figure contains a numbered card and is limited to 1000 pieces each.

Last but not least ? Does this guy look familiar?
