Re: PTE Recons

Somebody over on the joecustoms site posted some info on some new PTE items: http://www.joecustoms.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=29400 The J-10 looks great, and I'm interested in the bunker/base looking items as well. Of course, sadly, the chances of any of this being available in the western hemi...

Re: GI Joes for pilots in JSI Tomcat?

Also, I'm currently using two v.3 Slipstreams for my F-14; I think it is is GI Joe's most realistic looking pilot, though this fig is a bit hard to find. I think there's a bit of a passing resemblance to Maverick from Top Gun so I like him piloting my F-14 :) http://www.yojoe.com/action/04/slipstre...

Re: review---"Black Knights" F-14

Yeah, I've gotta say my Black Knights Tomcat came to me in very good condition. The right rear stab didn't fully seat, but a little shaving down mostly took care of that. It is definitely all static model and not a toy - so it has some fragile parts that you have to take care not to break (I've alre...

I'd be interested to see pics/find out more about these. So are they different figures from the Fearless Forces, but just produced in the same style? Or are they the same Fearless Forces figs, but just with different packaging?

There actually are separate wire cutters too parrish.

Like you said, a little pricey, but there aren't many other options for finished 1:18 buildings (e.g. the Pola buildings are less finished and more exp...

I've actually seen these in person at my local mall being demonstrated flying.

It appears to be ~1/20. ...

I only remember BBI producing one British soldier - a WWII paratrooper. I'd be very interested to see pics of these!

Though I do vaguely remember some of the BBI US modern marine figures just being repackaged as British (with no gear change or anything). Perhaps that's what these are?

It's almost always about the numbers being built...unless somebody is truly doing each one from scratch (akin to hand-carving from a solid block of wood).
