OK, here is a special "REPOST" of these great action figures I got in around 2012. I had posted these cool figures back 2014 but like so much of My stuff, it get's lost in the shuffle and and it ain't search for nor looked back upon again and I thought that this set was way too good for that
Since My style had changed quite a bit since then, I will update these to current standards hence the logo above and new elements but will leave some "original material" as I was happy with that. Please NOTE: the bios and stories that is present here is from the actual wiki S.T.O.P. vs. S.C.U.M. which when I found a while back I was quite euphoric about it because this series extremely obscure and as rare as you can get 
So here it is!------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it has already been two years since I got these cool little figures of a supposed knock-off series called S.T.O.P. vs S.C.U.M. (Special Tactics Operation Control vs. Street Coalition Urban Militia! We were shopping for Halloween decorations at our new local Dollar Tree near The River des Peres. Whenever I'm at a Dollar Tree or a Deals I always look at the toy aisle even though most of the stuff is for little children but sometimes they do have really cool bootleg figures and when I saw S.T.O.P. vs. S.C.U.M. it was a must have! They were only a dollar - 1 buck - $1
They had all but one 
I searched all over and had the cashier call the other store on Kingshighway with no luck. So then I'm like well, I am a completeist so I gotta have that last guy so I had decided to get them and HOPE that I could find him online and thank goodness I was able to but more on that later in a while. Now, these figures are about 3 1/2" tall and in 1/18 scale and in scale with G.I. Joes and others. The sculpting is very nice. Their paint isn't the greatest which I had to check each figure thoroughly which was a pain but I do love their tattoos. Their articulation is quite decent for the price and they are very durable. Their limbs are removable at the elbows and knees. They all have guns, however, they are molded/sculpted into their hands so they are not removable. They are Homieshop's own creation and made by Greenbrier International Inc
Here is the brief synopsis:
After Armageddon and the collapse of civilization, the world fell into the hands of evil warlords known as S.C.U.M.; Special Coalition Urban Militia. In this chaotic world, S.C.U.M. prospered; infiltrating cities and leaving death, destruction, and despair in their wake.
S.C.U.M.'s mission is total anarchy on a global scale. City by city they slice through urban lands, stealing & profiting from the chaos & terror that they bring.
In time people revolted, forming their own security force code named "S.T.O.P.", the Special Tactics Operative Patrol. S.T.O.P. is tasked with freeing the world of the evil S.C.U.M. forces that have taken the world by storm. Each member of S.T.O.P. has a unique military skill & was selected to maximize damage to the enemy.
Can they survive the fight for freedom? Will they rid the world of S.C.U.M.? Only time will tell... the fate of the world is in your hands.

My ACTUAL FIGURES!
The card front & back: I like the artwork, story, and bios. Actually a lot of thought went into this IMO!
S.T.O.P. (Special Tactics Operative Patrol): Following the collapse of civilization after the Armageddon Wars and Cartel Narco Wars, massive collapse of world governments, soldiers ether deserted or formed into bands of thugs and mercenaries. In the chaos, a ruthless force known as S.C.U.M. emerged and filled the power-vacuum through tyranny and brutality. With peace and freedom at stake, a resistance group formed. Special Tactics Operative Patrol - codenamed: "S.T.O.P." - is tasked with freeing the world of ruthless depots like S.C.U.M., and to reestablish order on the streets.
S.T.O.P. is mostly made-up of veterans of the Armageddon Wars and Cartel Narco Wars, with the rest being younger cadets. Each member has a unique military skill, and is teamed-up for the best tactical advantage. Their experience with fighting terrorists and underground criminals allows them to identify subversive elements within a group or community.
For the cadets - called "Scrubs" - the training required is grueling on all levels (mentally, physically and emotionally), and the washout-rate is high. The training is more than just to get the men in fighting shape: it tests the character and resolve of potential members.
They operate in small numbers, and patrol a large area. A team would usually be about 3 to 6 men, and they operate around a vehicle - typically a second generation HUMVEE, with some motorbike to serve as outriders. They could easily patrol an area the size of New Mexico - going from one settlement to the next, observant of any unusual activities. Their high-command operates from a command truck, and is supported by two advanced recon teams and a combat support team. The importance of this unit requires they they stay mobile (covering a greater area then standard patrol teams), or else they become an easy target for S.C.U.M. forces. Their M.A.S.H. (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) teams operate in an area typically about the size of California and Nevada, and they are supported by their own advanced recon teams.
Like a lot of rogue military units, the founding members stole army supplies, or raided old bunkers. The organization has a good supply of equipment, but they leaned early to use their resources sparingly. Beyond some personal effects, all equipment and vehicles are owned by the organization, and the members maintain good care of S.T.O.P. equipment.
Meany members of S.T.O.P. have family, but the patrols usually mean that the members spend a lot of time away from them. On top of that, their dangerous lives means that their spouses have to keep the member's profession a secret and the children are left out of the loop. When S.T.O.P. members leave their families to go out on patrols, they would usually say that they are out to look for work or to find new resources. A major drive motivating S.T.O.P. members is the desire to build a better world for their kids.

Tank joined forces with S.T.O.P. to help re-establish order in the streets and battle the anarchy being spearheaded by S.C.U.M.
S.C.U.M. (Street Coalition Urban Militia): Following the collapse of civilization after the Armageddon Wars, the western world struggles to rebuild. Without any centralized government, a ruthless force known as S.C.U.M. - or Special Coalition Urban Militia - poses to fill the power-vacuum through tyranny and brutality.
They are led by an evil cyborg known as Cyclops, and his forces are controlled by an enforcer known as Skull Hawk. Members are expected to be utterly ruthless and loyalty is ensured through fear and harsh discipline. Those who are not members are seen as little more than slaves, and are treated as such. They are free to take whatever from them, and treat them in any way they want. They are generally brutal and self-indulgent.
They have a strong sense of social-Darwinism - or "might makes right" - and believe that power comes to those who are strong and crafty enough to hold it. They pity weakness, compassion, and helplessness to the point of frowning on anyone who takes a handout or receives medical treatment. They do have a physician in their ranks, but he is an unethical scientist who supplies S.C.U.M. members with drugs, and uses captives as expendable lab-rats for his "research." They see no value in history, literature, medicine, or science: save for what they can do to help a man become stronger.
They gain territory through military conquest, or failing that: the use of S.C.U.M. Infiltrators. For those who have been conquered, life is harsh. For them - the "Dregs of SCUM" - the only way out is to become a S.C.U.M. Raider, with hopes of surviving and become a S.C.U.M. Soldier. As Soldiers, they can stand equal with other members, and can treat their former kin in any way they please. S.C.U.M. has no formal system of rank for its members, so the "pecking order" is determined by those who can demonstrate the most power, be it skill, strength, firepower, powerful allies, etc.
Since they only conquer, and do not contribute to the world in any meaningful way, they stand posed to plunge the world into anarchy and barbarism. Their brutal methods are effective, and only thing that stands in their way is S.T.O.P.

Group Shot: Really cool display!
Size comparison: There is Reco with Mattel's DC, Hasbro's G.I. Joe and Mattel's Avatar (already posted DC & Scarlet but maybe My huge Avatar collection in the future)!
I hope you enjoyed this
So as I speak, S.T.O.P. vs. S.C.U.M. is a very obscure series and the last time I checked (which was very recently) at the bay there was none available. While I think these guys would go great with your "official" Joes and other 1/18 figures hence My scale comparison pic, if collectors are looking for these guys I would look at small, independent stores provided there is still some around as there might actually be a chance that they might have them. That's it for this "REPOST" showcase. Who knows, one day I revisit this great series in the near future with some new ideas, ya never know Until the next showcase I'll see you around
