Guys,
from a zoom view of the pics it looks like they are all paratrooper figures from WWII.
Aslo they seem to have plenty of accessories....one thing that puzzles me is the possibility that one ofthe accessories in the package may actualy be a parachute since all the figures seem to have it and looks like a rectangular folded piece of fabric.
If not it may be some kind of accessory wall???....who knows, but it seems cool which ever it is, any ways i be happy to get the figures!
tell me what you think,
take care,
HOOAH!

Good find on the pics Ranger!
They are bbi WWII paras - if you look in some peoples' webshots albums they have close-up pictures. They all have a working parachute and for some reason known only to bbi they ALL HAVE A YELLOW LIFE VEST ON and the harness appears molded on so they are only good as corpses after landing.... :? But they have a TON of gear and weapons so I still can't wait. :wink:

It looks like the Intrnational popularity of Knights in shining armor won out over the 20th or 21st Century - those are some crazy looking midevils :shock: I wish we got a VN line as expansive as that..... :roll:

Anyhow - 1/6 guys should be in heaven. Is that German halftrack the rumored Dragon one or is bbi doing their own? Same for motorcyle? Diorama pieces too - people said 1/6 ruled the show but now I get it....

I believe the Knights are the ones from Schleich. Maybe bbi is a distributor for them.......

BBI is coming out with its own series of knights, similar in size and concept to the Schleich ones. Quality looked a bit better in photos i've seen from past toy shows..

are the knights, possable?

i think the knights are non-articulated, like the Schleich knights. Not 100% sure on this however.
