This "S.O.F. Series: Combat Elite" line comes in a new packaging, with a decent selection of equipment for each figure. As noted before, the only down side is the reused heads from the previous modern line, only some of the SEALs figs have new heads. I haven't busted them out of the package yet, I will do it later and post pics. I only bought 4, there are a total of 12 figures for this line.

The 2 Navy SEALs I bought:

The 2 Delta Forces I bought:

CPO. Jared Hayworth:

PO2. Scott Karstead:

CPT. Paul Sievers:

SFC. Kevin Burnside:

Great find, thanks for posting the pics. Hopefully there are some vehicles to follow. The figures look great, just wish they'd fix the hands like 21C did. At least, from the photos, they look the same as the first batch.

If these new figures were associated with the JSI F-14, they'd be $20 each. :lol:

Got them out finally, quick review:
The Delta Forces figs are pretty much using the same old body molds as the modern U.S. Army & Marines line, only thing different is their torsos. Each joint is very stiff like the original line, so use care when twisting them. The arms seem to be less spaced out, which gave a "monkey-like" appearance, they are more closer but still protuding out due to the pouches on the side.
The Navy SEALs appear to be entirely new body molds. The joints aren't stiff, they are rather nicely loose. Arms are perfectly closer to the torso. There is no knee/boot articulation in the SEALs, instead it has been moved to the thighs.

Here are more pics, with some weapons I identified too:

Delta Forces:
CPT. Paul Sievers:
Image

All Delta Forces figs have detachable "butt packs":
Image

With M4 Super 90 shotgun:
Image


SFC. Kevin Burnside with MP5:
Image

Image

With M21:
Image

Image

Also has butt pack:
Image

All Delta Forces & SEALs figs come with an M9 pistol:
Image


Navy SEALs:
PO2. Scott Karstead:
Image

Back:
Image

With all of his gear:
Image

Posed with M4 with SOPMOD:

NVG is molded to the head:

Hopefully the LAV-25 is on its way! I'm down for 2!

I picked up an entire set of the new figures today (all twelve). They're great. I really like the SEAL guys (the non scuba gear ones). I love how they look loaded down with gear. That's awesome.

All action figures should have a rotating knee ball or an upper leg swivel.

All of them.

I can't wait for these to turn up in my local targets. So far none in central IL. I wonder if this is why they quit restocking the other 1:18 FOV figures.

new fov

topnotch97 and SkyRay deserve thanks for great pics and reviews.

I like how Unimax made a lot out of little new tooling. I like the guy inspired by the McFarlane boarding crew. He looks like a great update on the original bbi Seal, with more realistic bulk. The bbi M21 would look great in their hands.

Picked up the whole set a couple days ago. Nice figures and I love the helmets and gear. I'm not sure if I'll keep the Navy divers - the BBI ones are so much better with their removable dive masks - but the rest of the figures are great!
