The Defenders have won the day - Horrible Hamilton and his brood have all been eliminated. Now, all that's left for the Defenders to do is follow the tunnels and wipe out any remaining Bugs, after which they will seal off the tunnels so that the monsters have no chance of returning - or will they?
This is the final installment of my look at REMCO's Hamilton's Invaders series unless
I end up buying the pistol (it would have to be at a good price though!!). Enjoy! Opa Fritz
The authorities have finally stepped in to investigate and exterminate whatever's causing the trouble in this part of the forest.

With disappearances on the increase, local establish a search party. It did not go well! Survivors of the encounter with The Bugs spoke of their immense size and power. Something more had to be done!

Young and full of himself, this kid thinks he can fight whatever's in the forest with his 45mm peashooter. He was wrong!
Enjoy! Opa Fritz
Horrible Hamilton's horde is hungry! This part of the forest has always been known to be dangerous at night as this hapless person now realizes.
Enjoy! Opa Fritz
I haven't had this much fun with a series of toys in a long time, and unlike so many of the things I collect, REMCO's Hamilton's Invaders were toys I had as a kid. After pulling them all out and photographing them, it hit upon me that making a story would be fun - so I did! Mind you, it's not high art, no technological wonder here folks, but a campy, fun way to put these toys to use.
Here's the story line I came up with:
Mysterious Mt. Rainier in Washington State is known for multiple missing persons, Bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings and abductions, and supposed interdimensional portals. Legend has it that a race of very large bugs, also terrorize the region. To the First Nation peoples, the The Bugs are not rumor, they are both legend and fact, and teach their young to avoid areas where the bugs have been spotted. However, there hasn't been a sighting for decades, leading people to speculate that the rumors were just scary stories to tell children around the campfires at night. But something has caused them to reawaken in a remote area of the surrounding woods. This area of the forest is not well traveled, and all visitors to the park are warned against venturing in, despite The Bugs' absence for so many years. But not all heed the warnings! As this first victim soon finds out, warnings (like 'STOP' signs on a street), are there for a purpose! Horrible Hamilton has awakened and claims the first victim!

Here's the last of the Defender figures - a generic driver in white plastic. To the best of my knowledge, there was no RM# assigned to this guy. The 'photo essay' is a bit truncated, with me having only taken two photos Enjoy! Opa Fritz

***Wellll I did it again. I had to re-title Parts 20 and 21 to read "Pose 4" and "Pose 5", making today's post "Pose 6". It is the last pose of the Blue Defenders, after which we'll cover the white driver. I realize a large part of my problem is simply that I'm getting old. I simply cannot have any distractions whatsoever when doing posts, otherwise I lose concentration. However, that is next to impossible to do as the wife sits next to me on her computer and always has running commentary on videos she's watching (that, quite frankly, I could care less about). Anywho, sorry for any confusion***

It was only a few days ago when I posted a bazooka guy from 21st Century and both are curiously pointing the bazooka downwards. I wonder how many bazooka guys I had as a kid? Between Marx, Payton, REMCO, and who knows what else, I probably had a few. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
