IMO I think Unimax is just dumping their surplus stock of their FOV "Action Series" line at K-Mart. The FOV Action Series was originally made for mass market, but it has been discontinued and replaced with Bravo Team at Target most likely for economical reasons. With Unimax's FOV Action Series line ...

Did my rounds at Targets today and noticed that the FON clearance is over.
The vehicles went back to the $14.99 price point, while the figures remained at their clearanced price at $6.99. It looks like FON wants to hang on and compete with Unimax a little longer at Target.

Razor: Head swaps are doable with any of Unimax's figs (WWII, Modern, S.O.F. Paratroopers), they all snap on perfectly. I also tried one of BBI's fig, Marvin Martinez, and it didn't work. Some of the 21CT recent figs can fit too, but rather tightly. Digger: The Delta Force hands are pretty much the ...

Got them out finally, quick review: The Delta Forces figs are pretty much using the same old body molds as the modern U.S. Army & Marines line, only thing different is their torsos. Each joint is very stiff like the original line, so use care when twisting them. The arms seem to be less spaced out, ...

This "S.O.F. Series: Combat Elite" line comes in a new packaging, with a decent selection of equipment for each figure. As noted before, the only down side is the reused heads from the previous modern line, only some of the SEALs figs have new heads. I haven't busted them out of the package yet, I w...

Interesting developments, so it seems JSI got some 1:144s, but only the recent ones, wonder if they snatched the rest of the 1:144s or 1:48s too... Looks like JSI got some figures too, I can see some BotB U.S. & Germans, a Patton dress uniform fig, and quite a few 82nd & 101st Airborne figs.. lets h...
