Is that a new BBI figure or a custom? He looks cool - where did you find him?

I'm guessing it's a cool new BBI guy. New removable helmet, maybe new head, and the chest plug looks new too (doesn't match any of the ones released so far).

The real question is what's the uparmored humvee next to him from?

It's MTEk Predator facial armor that protects the face from shrapnel and flying debris.

That figure is shown on the back the of the Ranger 5-pack but I guess is the pack-in for a new up-armored Humvee? The vehicle looks great, I just wish we could get some less cryptic responses out of the OP. :?

Good point. The arms look like the hostage rescue guy but nothing else really.

With the newer BBI figs, there are 2 different "bucks" that they're using. One style is in the Ranger 5 pack (elbow and knee pads) and the other is in the Marine 5 pack (no elbow or knee pads). They are just switching out the heads and chest plugs to create new guys. Based on the torso, I'd say you're right. It's the elbow and knee pad buck with a new helmet and chest plug.

That last pic is the older style turret with no door up armor.

The HUMVEE with the Edge of Tommorrow face is still a mystery to me.

Who makes it ?

It has to be a completely new BBI M1114. Neither the figure (definitely BBI) nor the vehicle have been shown anywhere else that I can find. It looks like a promotional image for an upcoming release. It's a huge improvement over that gun shield humvee they didn't release (it was first teased way back in 2007).

Well the Humvee looks very promising. I certainly hope they continue to revisit the past and update the stuff they've done in the past. Although a 1/18 MRAP, Cougar, or Stryker would be welcome.
