new 1:18 figures from 21st
Nice
Army Builders
My wallet says NO but my XD instinct says YES.
29th ID & 2d Rangers go together and with the bbi guys.
Finally an empty holster for when you put the pistol in the guys hand.
The handheld radio is an awesome addition, Carbine from Alexander is great, and the Garand with sling is sweet. And...a trigger hand!
Flotation device is just a tease without the landing craft.

Wow Those figures look great! We finally got some "retooled" versions of the S1 figures. They come with some great accessories and look nearly as good as the BBI WWII infantry figures. They will certainly work well for army builders. Now what to do with my really outdated S1 US figures...

I am pleased. I like the radio, and that 2nd Ranger scroll looks so cool on the guy's arm (can you tell I am a patch collector). I was hoping we would see some photos of the DAK first off. Nevertheless, I am greatly impressed

Digger, did you have to change your trousers too? I'm gonna start saving now to afford these in the quantities I will surely want.

Oh God!
When my son sees these I am going to be in for an earfull. D-Day is his favorite! And the new figures with their assault vest and Floatation Belts will be the real kicker! Is the Ranger helmet marked on the back? Say it ain't so.....
Guess I know what to buy my son for Xmas! But as for myself, I won't wait to open a couple!
Nice job 21st Century Toys!
On second look, where is the gas mask bag? Paras had them! And isn't that Ranger shoulder patch later than D-Day?

Question
Question. How was the flotation belt worn? It looks too long to go around the waist...

Worn around the waist! They appear too long uninflated, once inflated they fit better.lablksmith wrote:Question. How was the flotation belt worn? It looks too long to go around the waist...
Here is a vintage pic of a belt being worn.

16 guys left to see, so the odds are still in favor of other theaters.. (or at least I have my fingers crossed for the Brits and Russians).
Both of these folks have been added to the SSHQ database.

new guys
I think TKO's hints have pretty much ruled out Brits and Russians at this point but I understand your optimism. We do know about the DAK figs which are from another theater..grunt1 wrote:16 guys left to see, so the odds are still in favor of other theaters..

For JJ, you know these guys have me amped. For Momaw I think they know riflemen need no extra goodies to sell - they are the ultimate army builder. I just wish we saw a static arm one time with a really tight elbow bend for true shoulder fire action.

"The figs I am aware of at this point are not Brittish or Russian. "
As far as I know, TKO is only aware of 4 out of 18.. Perhaps 6 of 18 if the DAK are the 2 that TKO doesn't have pictures for yet. So that leaves 12-14 unknowns.
(I'm happy either way, but happier is even better don't ya think?)

Yeah we got some Jerries comin! I can confirm that 100% as I just recieved pics of the next two that will go up on AREA-21. But I am afraid I am going to have to ask you guys to be a little patient with me. I can't get back into the office till monday to post anything more. I do have on my schedule that I need to push out somehthing else next (in front of the next 2 figs) So bottom line...
Give me till tuesday to get the next 2 figs up. I like what I see. I can say that much for now!

Hi XD fans!
About a year ago I was very frustrated because there were no new figures and no new armor - only planes (which I don't collect). But I'm still a big XD fan and a week ago I decided to check the 21st website if there is anything new.
I think the new halftrack versions and the PAK look great! Also I'm very exited about the new figures. The first two soldiers look great. Super articulation and loads of equipment. I hope the next 16 figures will also be great.
But I still hope for a Tiger II and a 222. When they release so many new figures - maybe there also will be new armor? What do you think how good the chances are?
When I read the postings of you guys there are some shortcuts that I don't know. What does DAK mean?
My favorite wave of 18 figures would be 9 americans and 9 germans.

Thanks very much steelbonnet!
Yeah Afrika Korps soldiers would be cool. Rommels halftrack "Greif" would be a great vehicle to come with those troops. But I would also be happy if these new figures would only be updated versions of the first XD figure wave.
British troops would also be cool, but I don't think that russian troops would be a good idea. There aren't any russian vehicles available and I believe russian troops would be pegwarmers, just as the japanese are right now.
There are rumors about the "Königstiger" for so many years now - I hope we will see this tank anytime soon. There are so many cool american and german vehicles that have not been released.....
