umm... can I get some glasses as well? I read the mfr. as "pocket play" and it's really "porto play".

hmm.....the female is not overly pretty is she? weird had too...

How is the bubble size on the Bell 47? If I had that I could build the rest..

small.....the thing is about 1/24 scale. I posted an r/c bell 47 on here a while ago.....it was too small as well, but bigger than the mash copter and probably sells for about the same price.

Do a search and you should be able to find it.

True.

Get her in the hands of a good painter tough, and she'd probably be alright. She won't be Rita, but she'll be better than she was.

This question came up before and I promised to dig out my old Military One figures.

Back in the 80s BEST had them for $1 each and we used them as the "green shirts" for our GI Joes.

They also had cheap helicopters and jeeps, which back in the day were actually of good quality (not Hasbro quality, but still fun).

The drawback was they couldn't hold weapons in their weak grip hands.

It would be nice if somebody made some modern day female 3 3/4" figures and also perhaps some WWII (a nurse, Russian sniper, and British RADAR officer would be cool).

Perhaps when Admiral releases their pinup girl with "Temptation" we'll see if there is a demand or not. Sadly I only got one Dr. Schneider from the IJ line ... but wanted a second. I wouldn't want a third, but if the figures were in military uniforms and priced decently (read under $5) I'd pick a few up.
