Cool
WOW - they look like little McFarlane guys with minimal articulation and maximum detail!! I was going to say they had to be bigger than 1/18 but the last pic sold me that they are small.
EDIT - it does say Elite Force on the case
But is it just me or do they have different articulation? Man they look sick...

I have to agree Digger the articulation does look a bit different but have been studying the second pic and you can see the bolt in the Knee still am not sure about the arms. They do look VERY nice if they are 1:18 its a shame we only have closeups of three of them as from the last pic there are 6
but none of them look like the ones we have seen on action figures so might be even more out there to come
the one to the right of the sniper here looks like he has the same pack as the guy in the second pic (who seems to be carrying the saw from the night stalker) might be wrong http://photos.figures.com/photo/1/showp ... 3437though.

argh..
I need a new monitor in the worst way! In the 1st pic you posted, the guy on the right has an elbow joint, right? Even minimal articulation would be fine with how good these guys look..
With all the people at the show I'm saddened at the poor recon - I would think the Joe boards would be all over these..

Awesome looking figures!!! The elbows don't look like they have articulation to them, but it is hard to tell. I hope these are 1/18, they definitely would be a very wanted addition to the (and my) modern line of figures.
Go Ugly Early in 1/18 scale!
Still waiting and wishing for a 1/18 A-10 Warthog.

Well I`ve been studing those photos & they are Indeed Really Nicely detailed BUT I truely hope these ARE 6" figures.
If they did these at 1/18th it`s a step backwards in the limited - Static figures approach.
Either way I do like the look of them.
If these are 6",lets hope we see 1/18th versions of these guys too. I really like the SpecOps KPot the Woodland guy is wearing![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Thanks for the tip, Digger!
I got two of the zeros from BBTS and after shipping, still paid 5 bucks less than I would have at TRUS. Thanks for the heads up!
I love this board.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

naval aviation
One factor is the theatre - ETO is by far more popular than PTO. Also, folding wings are a headache. BBI hinted the Hellcat might come after the Avenger - if that is the case you may not see their Hellcat for while...Is it just me or did the manufacturers stumble in the market for Naval aviation?

A TRU in my area had the BBI US Marine figures marked down to $2.98
These are the ones that came out last year, with the digital cammo and old articulation. I would get more, but I have plenty of those figures already and just can't justify a purchase after seeing the new BBI modern troops.

Wow
I would clean them out at that price.
That is great trade fodder if nothing else.

I would be in for a couple of those Kiowas @ that price - Vulgarvulture is there anyway you can snag some for us people not having a FANTASTIC sale at our local TRU?

Paras
Went to toys-r-us yesterday and picked up some of the new paras.....they where sgt.brooks cpl,ferguson and one ww2 para a private rameriiez this one was in green instead of the tan........
well
Figured we should heat this thread up for Comic Con, SO:
Did anyone notice in the BCA newsletter the reference to 3 new birds coming in Oct., November & January from "other" 1:18 manufacturers? Perhaps we will see an exclusive scheme F-16 or maybe even something all new.
Fall is bbi AC season... This thing with the Avenger is the best thing to happen to us in a long time! Here is the relevant quote:
"the vacuum left by this event [Avengers going to WM] rippled quickly throughout the industry. Within hours, we were contacted by the other, 1:18 manufacturing powers and secured exclusive production agreements for three new aircraft that were either backburnered or in initial development. With the 'Cats weight behind the production of the new birds, things are rolling now. We can't disclose the new planes yet but are scheduled to receive these in October, November and January, respectively."

Shin's wishlist for 1/18 and 1/32 with retractable landing gear and more:
F-14 Tomcat, F-8 Crusader, A-4 Skyhawk, F-105 Thunderchief, A-6 Intruder, F-15C, F-15E Strike Eagle
F-14 Tomcat, F-8 Crusader, A-4 Skyhawk, F-105 Thunderchief, A-6 Intruder, F-15C, F-15E Strike Eagle
well
Your guess is as good as mine but of the 3 I figure something has to be new, right? ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
