Has anyone seen these on pre-order at any vendor sites?
I surprised that Toy Federation doesn't list them.

Goodstufftogo.net has been the only place w/ them on pre-order - they have been delayed about 5 times (seriously) for no good reason so it's rather noble that sites don't put them up for pre-order.
I hope they are finally out though - WE NEED FIGURES!!!!

I hope theyre articulated better than the others ive seen. love the accessoies but not the figures.

What about the Dragon figures that Goodstuff2go has for sale now? Are they worth getting? I've never purchased or seen Dragon figures up close so I don't know anything about them but would like to pick up a few sets if they are worth it.

If you dont mind somewhat limited poseability ,then dragon figures are well worth having,and very realistic IMHO. In many cases,21st figs' realism is compromised in the waist area in order to afford posability.
I like em both anyway.

[Jesse James]

I like 21st more, but if I find Dragon figures for competitive prices I'll gladly buy them. Hell for no other reason than the weapons are superior in most every way. All the accessories are actually.

The extra helmets I've gotten I've been hollowing out for extras for XD figures. Rifles I spread amongst my favorite figures... I think the figures themselves look good amidst XD though, and have them in there, but they are all (and appear to always shall be) non-poseable figures. Very limited.

The GI's were lesser quality too. I was a little bummed that they weren't as snazzy as the early Germans were.

Tank & Jesse - Thanks for your comments. Since they are not as poseable as the 21C figs I think I'll pass for now.

Wow, this is old.

Was there ever an explanation as to why these were canned? I'd have liked some new head sculpts and a Dragon Bazooka.

never released

I'd just assume it was the utter lack of sales of any other series Dragon put out.

I still like their sculpts, and the gear is second to none, but their sales were dismal. I got the other Normandy GI's and Paras really cheap from, I believe, Monkey Depot. Never got any of the last Germans though, but they had the least ammount of equipment anyway.
