Question on Japanese figures?

Post by momaw nadon » Thu Jul 27, 2006 2:09 pm

I was wondering if anyone has all three series of these figure and could post a picture? I know the first series is green, but I want to know which series I have of the other tan/yellow ones. I comparison picture would be great. If you can't post a picture would you be able to send me one to [email protected]
Thank you for your help.

1st---MOMAW--As far as I know the GREEN JAPS are the S1 Japs (the card has the Jap raisen sun flag)and the YELLOW JAPS are the S2 Japs (the card has the Jap Marine emblem)----Some of my Yellow Japs are different shades of Yellow but as far as I know-- all the Yellow Japs are the S2's!!!!!----But I have seen some Green Japs with the Jap Marine emblem on the card---I don't know if this is supposed to be S3 Japs or not!!!!! 2nd---MEDIUMP---I like the pic of the Japs ---looks like they are ready for a banzai charge!!!!! :lol: Again---this as far as I know!!!!---RED---

The cards have the Japanese Marine emblem, but the main thing I'm looking for is the differences of the Yellow S2 and Tan S3 uniforms. I have a set of all six, but I want to know which version they are. IMO tan and yellow all look the same with how Germany used it on tanks and stuff. Thank you guys for the help

I am of the theory that there are two variants - Green & tan/yellow. The shade on the latter may vary between waves but I don't think there is a distinct difference. Much like we agreed some of the vehicles are not nec. new versions, just slightly different runs of the same version.

THERE IS A S3 WAVE THAT I POSTED IN WM FINDS MAYBE TWO MONTHS AGO. THEY ARE ON THE SAME CARD AS THE S2 YELLOW WITH THE SAME BACK. I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY CHANGES IN THE ITEMS OR FACES BUT THE UNIFORMS ARE THE GREY/GREEN. THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. i HAVE ONLY SEEN THEM AT TWO DIFFERENT WALMARTS. THEY MAY BE COMMING OUT WITH A NEW WAVE OF THE OMG FIGURES BECAUSE SOME OF THE STORES APPEAR TO HAVE RESTOCKED THEM TOO.
i DIDNT BUY ANY AS I PROBABLY PUT OUT A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS ON THE YELLER FELLERS (UNIFORMS)
I MAY PICK UP A FEW NOW.

oH AND THE NEW STAWARS IMPERIAL GUNNER IS A KICK ARSE FIGURE.
REMOVABLE ARMOR AND HELMET - GREAT FACE SCULPT.

So are they not the same as the S1? New card doesn't count. :wink:

Stuka,
So the S3 are not tan as stated before? If you pick any of they up could you post some comparison shots? Thanks

I wont have a chance to check out that Walmart until maybe this Friday - but I will do my best -

Update though - At another Walmart found what appears to be the S1 Green I was in a hurry so want really lookingat the card details so sorry about the sloppy recon.

But in both cases they are with OMG figures - the pegs are full of them sort of like back in the day when marines showed up overnight and hung out way too long - I mean - they don't pay rent, shower, just took up space and didnt even give me money for food!!
