They are chinese knock off of BBi guys, I picked up a couple from shoporiental on ebay for 99 cents a pop but shipping was like six or seven dollars. They look pretty cool, nothing special but they can be used as modern soviets for the new PTE tank. They guy I got them from looks like the only way to get them as of right now.

How are the quality (plastic, articulation points, paint apps, etc.)? I am tempted to buy a set but it comes to nearly $10/figure after shipping which strikes me as a big high for what looks like a knock-off.

I saw them at TRU. I think in addition to being a bit big, they are very toy-like.kenhil2 wrote:are these only on ebay?
I still think that last wave of bbi modern was great:

yup BBi knock offs, and i'm not impressed by the paint and details on the figs.

The head sculpts, look like they might be usable. Does any one have any up-close pics?
I agree with digger, that last wave of BBI modern figures, was very nice. I just wish, I would have picked some more up when, I had the chance.

They are a bit tall, just a hair over 4" and the sculpts is not too bad, they are made to look like americans, they even have a cheezy little flag on the right shoulder. On closer inspection, they look to be more FOV knockoffs than BBi.each figure has the same gear except for the weapon, the guys I have, have a sniper rifle and an M16 with M4 rail with vertical grip and a small drum mag, not too detailed but pretty sturdy. If you can get them for 99 cents + shipping, then they are not too bad for customs. If they show up at TRU, I will get them all.[/img]

They look a little wonky, but I can see some custom potential.

The articulation looks decent and I like the looks of the scope on the sniper rifle.

never even heard of them, but thanks for the news. These guys will probably be background troops for dios.

Not the greatest looking figs but if I find them, I'll pick up a few.
