Accurately rendered British Royal Marines - not the repainted US Marines labeled as being the British!

I feel US forces are well covered at this point. Proper British Marines, Israeli Defense Force and Modern Russians (to go with the Hind that will be released one day )

I would like to see any US ground crew figures (In any branch.)to go along with modern jets and choppers.

Ground crew first, then Aferg's list (excellant choices)

Army LRRP, Russian spetznatz, italian commandos.

Keep on trucking with the special forces: Delta, USAF Parajumper, Spetznatz, SAS

Unconventional forces would be great: DSS, guerillas, a "bad guys" line, CIA

Accurate British Soldiers or Royal Marines. As already said not the drival given in the form of a nice DPM pattern on US figures

Also Modern German Fallie or Jager troops in Flecktarn camo with G36 varients.

maybe even Aussie SASR in Desert & Bush camo`s

Not wanting to be awfull to our US cousins but there is a lot of US choice already out there (Joe,BBI,PTE,XD,Intoyz,Evergreen,etc),be nice to see another Nation or two

Well--I think that we are desperate need of a bad guys line. So, I seriously want bad guys. It could be Russians, it could be Chinese, or Al-Queda, don't care who just need an opposition.

I would like to see some new figures, not re-paints. I would also like to see the hip articulation improved,,,good work on the elbow(only took 3 years) Also new weapons, not a m16a4 with 203 grenade launcher.. how about some Vietnam figures??? also you fixed the m249 saw scale in the Superhumvee why did you get the M60 wrong!!!!

I'd be VERY happy to rebuy all their modern troops IF they would redo them with the better articulation that they have with their new Target line!

I have never been convinced that the modern figs offered by BBI are accurate to frontline troops. I know army battledress has changed since my brush with the military in the late 80's, but I just do not see good correlation between what I see our troops wearing as opposed to what is being sculpted and packaged by BBI.

All that being said, my request is that BBI take snapshots of everyday soldiers in Iraq, marines, tankcrews, etc. and use them as the basis for the next set of figs. I think BBI has been producing mostly spec ops stuff to date, which are cool, but I want an army of regular soldiers that look like the real thing. Is the humble GI not in the title/charter of our forum (GP=Ground Pounder)?

Also need better articulation that doesn't fall apart. And please, paint the k-pots. It is silly to have an OD kevlar packed with a woodland camo figure. Also, the hands could use a bit more forethought. Can't get any of my current figs to grip the weapons aside from the pistol grips.

I agree with Spare Parts. REGULARS. The helmets need clothe. Some guys need shades. I don't agree with vest varying in color though - that happens often in the field if you see footage of the war.

Like he said, look at some pictures. The closest thing now is the Humvee driver and LAV driver. Almost there....just a regular group of US Army Infantrymen as most other modern soldiers are on training missions these days....

I thought I wanted modern "bad guys" but when they came out I wasn't that excited

As digger and spareparts said..."regulars", Russian Soldiers, and British SAS.

Russian spetsnaz(with throwing shovels!), British SAS, French Foreign Legion, along the lines of the previously released BBi 1/6 figures(pics linked below):

Count me with spare parts and digger on the "regulars," done with a bit more attention to detail and accuracy.

That is about the best thing I have read in one of these. Regulars. I do agree with that. Regular forces from Britian, US, etc.

That would be great with some bad guys, any bad guys. Like said I don't care who, just some bad guys. Russian, Israeli, Iraqies, don't care, just need some to set up some good dio with.

Russian Spetznatz and a Hind MI-24.

I would like to see ground crew made for the 1/18th WW 2 planes.

Short of seeing some "enemies" (a mix of ethnicities) for our modern guys to shoot at...

I'd like to see some British SAS Guys that feature articulation like the P-51 Pilot, and legs that aren't so awkwardly close together like the latest waves of modern figures BBI put out. Their SEALs and Army Spec. Forces had legs spaced apart much better.

Anyway, SAS guys would be fantastic to see I think.

There is definitely a need for opposing forces for the modern US forces already released.
Soviet troops (Spetznatz would be great)
Chinese or North Korean troops
Some type of a "Bad Guy product line"

RANGERS!

VIETNAM

WOUNDED SOLDIERS / at least some extra hands, heads, legs and torsos that can be interchasnge with the regular figures to make them look wounded!

Modern Medic figure.

A Navy seal just in plain khaki swim trunks with no shirt and with a set of mask and fins.

bad guys/civilians

Bad guys - Soviet Era or modern types or Vietnam NVA /Vietcong

More ethnic types for the US Soldier

the wounded soldier optional parts is a very good idea..
