They're making them in both scales.

Mezco's doing the same thing with Hellboy 2.

While real military 1:18th may have had a poor Toy Fair, it's an amazing year for the scale in other properties.

As a fan of the scale in general I couldn't be happier.

I am stoked for those Ages of Action figures! I think they look very cool and I've been jonesin' for some 1:18 ancients figures. It's about time someone took a chance on something other than WWII, Vietnam or Modern Military. Thanks Unimax! I'm pretty much just a figure guy, so Unimax has completely ...

Mike, any information on NEW 1:18 figures, either modern or WWII? When can we expect the next assortment?

Will TRU continue carrying the Elite Force line along with Target?

Dang it!

I thought we'd be seeing those new modern figures...the ones in the pics that surfaced some months back!

Very, very disappointing!

Gah! That's exactly what I thought! ;-)

But, more to the point, I just came from a Target and nothing yet.

I'm checking every day.

First, welcome back, Mike!!

Now, before I get excited...

...are we talking product like TRU has been carrying (I hope so!), or are we talking about product like Target carried previously (I hope not!)?

Mike, Allow me to chime in with a hearty "Welcome back!" as well. Great to hear more 1:18 WWII figures are coming! Wonderful news. I hear what you are saying about retail.

I forgot who was able to score some of them, but I can't wait to get my hands on those guys. Also, will TRU ever get the green Zero? What new modern figures? Has there been a new ...

Hi Jason, This is my first post in this section of the forums. I'm pretty much just a figure guy. Can't really afford (either cost-wise or space-wise) armor or aircraft.

I came across the new figures at TRU the other day and they were a complete and welcome surprise! Finally, carded W...

WANTED: bbi Corsair Pilot and P-51 Pilot Figures

hey folks,

I cannot afford, nor have the room to store/display either of these fantastic planes...but, I really want the pilot figures...especially the Corsair pilot.

So, if anyone has either that they'd care to part with, please contact me!

Thanks,

I haven't seen this addressed yet (but, forgive me if I missed it)...

...but when can we expect the WWII figures to hit retail?

What other figures are planned for the near future?

Retailers passed on the western line, so it's a no go.

Don't know about the military stuff, but the fact we have heard zilch at this point doesn't bode well...

Maybe ComicCon will hold some answers!

1:18 Sahara Stuff?

Does anyone know when and where the 1:18 Sahara stuff is gonna be released? Saw the movie last night with my wife and her sister, and we all loved it. It's over the top and certainly not to be taken too seriously, but it was fun. Now, I want the figures. But, info on these has been pretty sparse. Jeff
