All we had in the 70's was the 8" MEGO action figures (dolls). In the 90's Polar Lights released the four boys as seperate peices. They were in the pose from the Destroyer Album and the bases interlocked to recreate that cover. They came in two distinct boxings. The classic Aurora 'long box' version, and a car kit size box that was a Toys R Us exclusive. There have been several kits of Kiss in resin. Fairbanx started a series that was to be album cover related. They released The demon and Spaceman. Then the sculptor died (I want to say Rick Wyatt) and then Fairbanx went out of business.
McFarlane Toys has issued a couple of really nice 8" series of Kiss Figures and at least one stage set. They also had a Metallica stage set which was nothing more than instrument pieces from their Kiss set added to the four guys figures. McFarlane figures can be chopped, posed, repainted and used as very nice diorama pieces. McFarlane also had a couple of really great 12-14'" figures of Gene. Along the way McFarlane has done several figs of Elvis and I think a Kurt Cobain.
