Re: BEST 1:18 MODERN FIGURES
I still believe that the BBi figures are the best modern figures (Especially the later releases) over any thing out there. It does not get better than them including the 25th/Modern style G.I. Joes. Trust me, I have every single BBi figure to date and every single 25th G.I. Joe figure to date and the BBi are better for the militaristic look.rocky100370 wrote:Anyone know what is the best modern figure in 1:18 scale besides GI JOE?

The later BBi sets & BBi Fighter Pilots are top notch with excelent articulation.
Those bbi 2-packs aren't the same as the bbi elite force single carded figures, they're much much lower quality. The single carded figures are what you're looking for by bbi, especially the later release figures. Check this link for pics...

bbi
BBI by far has the best modern and WWII figs. They also come apart very easily for mixing and matching heads and parts with 21C,Dragon, etc.. I've posted these pics a bunch of times but here are some examples:

I would agree with Digger that the best modern figures are those from BBI. Their latest offerings are light years ahead of their original figures. These have the best sculpted detail, articulation, and look very professional all around.
Second best and the most easy to find are the Bravo Team/Assault Force figures at Target and TRU. They are not BBI quality, but represent standard Army, USMC and Special Ops soldiers in current uniform styles. (BBI tends to largely make Special Ops soldiers, with only a few figures that can be used as "standard" grunts). Plus, the Bravo Team figures come with some neat accessories like MRE packs, jerry cans and tools.

bbi modern
This is a decent deal, even with the 2 lousy USMC guys.
