Post by aferguson » Fri Dec 24, 2010 5:12 pm

I bought one on ebay months ago from Asia. My brother immediately recognized it as being new and not FOV, BBI, 21c, though somewhat similar. It is hard to see in the photo, but I think I got the guy in the bottom left corner.

I paid more like $5 or $6 for the single figure and bought him to see what they were like. I liked him. His articulation reminded me a bit of the BBI modern marines from a few years back, but the detailing (sculpture and painting) aren't as nice. The accessories included a removable helmet, goggles, somesort of belly pack, and a gun.

so you're saying they're worth getting? The hip articulation looks kind of primative to me, but for the price i figured they were decent army builder material.

I have a couple of these guys, they are good for customs but not much else.

The price is good though.

They look like BBI figures that were modified slightly. Similar to bootlegs from other toy lines, the figures were taken and new molds were made using the BBI figures with maybe slight alterations. That's perhaps explaining the distinct similarities, and some of the "dumbing down" of articulation and whatnot.

I can't tell but some of the headsculpts in other photos seemed to be pretty similar to BBI figures.

That head sculpt on the far left (guy in the woodland camo) is one that I swapped for my WWII customs. I used to buy up the BBI figures just to swap the heads and accessories.

These are either bootlegs, or BBI sold off the molds when they gave up on 1/18.
