Small Scale Military Headquarters

I have three questions about the BBI 1/18 MH-6 Little Bird:

1. What optional BBI figures go best with the MH-6?
2. Are these figures available at Target/ToysRUs?
3. Does anyone offer a 1/18 minigun that be attached to the MH-6?

Thanks for any info.

The World Peacekeeper version comes with miniguns. You could also modify Hasbro's minigun or get a Marauder ones.

I'd go with Hasbro's, even though they are on the small side, as i think Marauder's barrel assembly looks terrible.

Thanks for the info.
Is the Hasbro minigun sold as a separate item or does it come with another model?

Nah, it came with versions 9, 10, 11 of Roadblock in the GI Joe line and version 7 of Heavy Duty from the same. I believe it also came with a Clone Trooper, but it may have been modified with a different barrel assembly.

I'm using the carded BBI Blackhawk pilots with my MH-6 and I added the miniguns from the PTE littlebird. The pilots were once available at TRU, but you might now only find them at some small retailers or ebay.

With my BBI MH-6 Nightstalker, I use the BBI "Chopper Harris" Nightstalker pilot figure and several figures customized from one of the BBI modern paratroopers in the green digital cammo fatigues (forgot the figure's name). Those two figure types were at TRU and even Target last year. You can still find them easily online.

Thanks a lot for the help.
I want the two MH-6 pilots to match in terms of uniform, so is Harris the original pilot that comes with the MH-6?

Another question about the MH-6: is the BBI MH-6 with the external bench seats technically correct without the two miniguns because the MH-6 is the transport version?
In other words, is the AH-6 attack version the only version equipped with two miniguns?

The MH isn't set-up for armaments at all.

TA-152:

Thanks. I've got a reference book which states the AH-6 carries miniguns, etc. and the MH-6 carries troops. This made me wonder if the MH-6 is strictly a troop-carrier and never carries attached weapons.

No they don't match. The Night Stalker pilot packaged with the MH-6 is in a brown uniform while Chopper Harris is in a black uniform.
I'm not sure which figure is more accurate in real life, but Harris is better IMO as it has correct arm articulation and a more fitting uniform color to match the MH-6. If you want I can try and take a picture of both my MH-6 pilots for you to compare.

SKY RAY:

Thanks. I found photos of the 2 different BBI pilots online.
Now my problem is finding 2 Harris pilots that don't cost an arm and a leg.
