New BBI Figures & Weapon Sets at TRU

Post by Gunner » Wed Apr 19, 2006 4:10 pm

Found some new BBI Figures at TRU:

4 Modern:
Navy SEAL Combat Diver (in Woodland Camo Fatigues with Dive gear)

US Army Ranger Sniper
With 2 different sniper rifles

Navy Special Ops
Bare Armed guy with AK with MK-203 GL

Night Stalker
With laptop and GPS unit

2 WWII
US 101st Airborne
"Screaming Eagle"

US 2nd Ranger
"Bazooka Crew"


I bought the Combat Diver and the Navy Spec Ops guys. The others looked OK, but didn't really interest me.

Once I got home, I realized the back also says:
"Six Weapon Sets Also Available"

Medium Support Weapon #21485/#21486

Ground Division Suppor Weapon
#21276

Special Tactical Support Weapon
#21275

Close Quarter Weapons
#21162

Assault Weapons
#21160

I can't find the weapons sets that I just bought, so I don't know if the numbers match the weapons sets we already know about or not...

OK, I don't have my camera available, but I pulled the figures back out.

They appear to have new headsculpts.

The Navy Special Ops guy has a beard and mustache. His soft cap and microphone are molded on, so this is ABSOLUTELY a new headsculpt.

His arms have a shoulder joint, a horizontal joint on the upper arm an elbow joint BUT NO wrist joint. He has a tatoo on the lower left arm.

As I posted earlier, he has bare arms.

The NAVY SEAL Combat Diver headsculpt looks familiar, but I can't swear to it.

He has a shoulder joint, horizontal upper arm joint and elbow, BUT ALSO has a wrist joint.

I forgot to mention that they come with a new style card, which makes them easy to find. They have an "explosion" pattern at the top of the card, which stands out from the other carded figures.

for the sake of keeping everything in one place i'm going to close down this thread and ask that further discussion on these figures take place in the BBI sticky.

warmest regards.
