Okay, GI Joe Manimals.
They were originally a set of six that were supposed to be released X-mas of 1994. The line was scrapped before that happened. The prototypes, however were released (in photos) online, and a huge fan gathering emerged. Hasbro saw this, and released three figures in 2000 as a Kay Bee Exclusive. The second three were scheduled for 2001, but never were, due to failing sales on the first set.
If you have six different figures, then you have some rare figures indeed.
The story behind the figures are that they are bounty hunters from outer space. The transformed animalistic shapes are there true forms, the humanoid is so that they can walk among us.
Any other info you need, feel free to ask.
