bbi British SAS 1/18 Soldiers

Post by Aviatornut.com » Thu Sep 09, 2010 8:09 pm

Did bbi ever mass produce the British or the SAS soldiers?
How much are they worth?
I might be able to get a case of them that was shown at the Toy Fair.
thanks for your help

I only remember BBI producing one British soldier - a WWII paratrooper. I'd be very interested to see pics of these!

Though I do vaguely remember some of the BBI US modern marine figures just being repackaged as British (with no gear change or anything). Perhaps that's what these are?

Yes, they did. They were essentially the same as the US figures with a different camo.

I recall seeing those in person, but it was at a toystore I went into in England back in 2004. They are not any different than the US figures, save for the cammo. I would wager to say that the 21c Royal Marine and the PTE SAS figures are more accurate...
