I like the Sci Fi figures. Reminds me of the old Kenner mockups from the original trilogy that were made from the old Fisher Price 3-3/4" figures (how many remember those?). And who doesn't like the Rock Star Mace Windu head?
Nice on the WWII, but CAN WE GET SOME JAPANESE PACIFIC THEATHRE STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even North Africa would be nice and different. Or, how about some Red Army figures?

BBI Sherman
Hey all I got out of the 1/18th awhile back but that new BBi sherman is making me come back it looks so sweet!Though i hope the running gear is weathered more,the top hulll and turret look nice but the bottom looks show room new to me.I hope this brings good things bu 21st and bbi going for WW2 vehicles etc maybe 21st will start making more vehicles to keep up now either way im BACK I
Hey Kimtrxd.....glad you found your way to our new home. The BBI sherman also has an engine (as seen in one of the pictures) and maybe (?) an interior? At any rate it's nice to see BBI finally get into WW2.
With this and 21c's Panzer IV, truck and M113 we may at last be seeing a new stream of armour. (and BOY has it been a long wait, as those of us who have been here from the very beginning can atest).
With all the new figures, armour and planes due out in the months ahead we're all going to be broke and up to our armpits......but happy. :-)

bbi Super Humvee
I don't kow if anybody has pointed out the fact the Super Humvee is convertable. This is an awesome development, and hopefully we will see more of this on other vehicles. What better vehicle to do it on than a humvee anyway....Nice job bbi.
I just went back and looked at the figures that you guys were saying are star wars parts and stuff.... What a frankenstein freak show!!! I knew there was something way off with that stuff! I mean really, why do it? what is it supoposed to be? Why show it? Its not like they are going to produce them this way. Even if a vietnam Luke skywalker is amuseing. That Mace figure with the skull. What is that supposed to be. I couldn't stand that figure even when it was in its proper context. I hope they get a law suit for hacking apart, reassembling, and displaying others companies products. Even if it is only designed to test buyer interest. At this point I am not only NOT interested Its just stupid. I wish I could have been there to ask them why they look like some circus freak show. Good luck with the line fellas! I will continue to buy my figs from 21st!

It is just testing waters I'm sure... I mean, honestly I could get into a futuristic military toy line. Someone mentioned something akin to the Colonial Marines from Alien(s) series. I wouldn't turn my nose to XD versions of those figures, but the poses and faces would definitely cut out a lot of my interest should they wind up being that extreme.
The concept doesn't bother me though, and I'm 100% sure that whatever those were weren't even vaguely close to final.
It's one of those things to just ignore for the time being and let it play out... 21st may be onto a neat niche if they could somehow tap into the already popular Star Wars brand with a knock-off (sorta) military sci-fi brand of their own. Can't say anyone's ever tested the LFL limits really... Not in the U.S. anyway, and never on any serious level outside the u.S.
It's not illegal unless they're selling it (literally), but... I can't say it's overly appealing either. I'm surprised they were putting anything that rough out. It's really simple hack-job customizing with little thought it seems. I dunno. The more I look at it though, the more I wonder how it could be anything but a sci-fi line. I can't fathom that being an effort towards anything "normal" really.
