I might get a few, if I can find them. But since they are post WWII, I will only do a head transplant and replace the BBI head with the 21st C head. This way I will have more different looking WWII figures and my supply of BBI "for sale" figures(when I'm able to post an ad) will grow ;) The General

Difficult to get excited for these guys when the Targets around have their pegs still full with the original paras from BBI. Don't see why the stores keep asking for para figs.

Needed to be more specific in my B&M. The para figs are doing much for me. The new non-paras - that's good stuff. Fortunately, there's empty space on the pegs with the regular carded figs around here, so hoping these show up soon.

Scored 3 of the 4 new paras today at Times Square TRU. Because of the extra $ that store chargs they were about $10 each after tax. I got two Red Devils, a US WWII and the US diver. I didn't see the other modern guy, and left one US WWII para. $40 for 4 figs hurt though, I must say.
They had a ton of the old modern guys, but no sign of the new non-paras. Plenty of Ottos, M-17s and smaller scale stuff including 21C and fov. Plenty of 1/6 bbi and 21C weapon sets too.

Nothing yet at my local TRU. Heck, Hell Cats and Quad .50 Trailers haven't even shown up here yet! Good thing I've had access to helpful board members and to BadCat.

Can't beat Foxhole photography, I must admit. Anyway, here are some more. The open red devil has the PTO pilot's head. The pic of the modern Spec Ops guys shows off the awesome new M4 with suppresor. My pics of that seal diver fig didn't really come out though. Lastly I should mention that I spoke to soon on the heads. They are all not easy swaps.

They did do a great job on him. Especially with the small details they created new molds for, like his chute (both open and closed), entrenching tool, rifle case, mortar and mortar rounds.

Also on this round of paras the gear goes on much easier - the straps don't break as you wrestle it onto their legs or chest.

Finally I think there is a new pistol mold with the modern seal! We are really getting spoiled with the modern pistols - it sometimes takes me a while to notice what we have.

The Birtt para is indeed nice - as also are the other three! The 101st AB Pathfinder comes with some neat accessories as well.
