OurWar figures coming back to the US

Looks like Merit is re-importing the OurWar figures again. Though looks like they will be coming without packaging for whatever reason.

You can currently get the whole set shipped from China for $50, so hopefully these will be cheaper than that.. and available locally.

I thought these figures were a good start, I'd really like to see them tackle something like modern Russians, Chinese or.. well.. anything else :)

There's more to it too... Seen some prototypes recently. They're not done.

Now Hasbro, make us some Head Sculpt & Endor Uniform variations! The new Rebel Fleet Trooper gets the JJ Seal of Approval Though!

These are the figures with the molded on sunglasses?
If so that limits the use of head sculpts for my needs, cool figures....but :| .

It happened, trust me. :) They're just not done... Don't know they're going to not be not done soon, but not done.

Cool... were they the same guys that did the FJ prototypes or was that a different company?

Looks like BBTS has them up for pre-order.. $59.99 blah.

You can still get them on eBay from China for $49.99 with free shipping. (and packaging! Woo! haha)

Hopefully some of the other retailers have a more attractive price point.

Never saw Our War FJ's, but they're supposed to be working on Russians that went with the Germans... Spring Offensive kind of stuff, thus the Germans have rolled up sleeves. Saw more what they're going for on articulation. It's impressive... Better headsculpts too but one guy's bearded. :(

Doh sorry, I meant Spring Germans. Must have been wishful thinking when I typed FJ. :-)

Good, those guys were excellent and perhaps Russians to boot! Lovely day!

It's the only hope I have to cling to, haha... The fact I still get some info makes me hopeful, but not too much much. if they come out I just see it as a chance to pick up slightly unique Germans, and if they don't how disappointed can I be ya know?

Now if the Russians don't come out... ugh... That's the one that'll hurt. THey're not prototyped yet, just concepts.

Man, if we FINALLY get some WWII Russian figures, that would be the biggest 1/18 news in years. On that same note, I would LOVE to get some modern Russian figures, too. Playing BF3 has me wanting to build some conceptual WWIII dioramas.
