About the new set of figures ----by 21st...and my new troops

Hello everyone,

21st new figures:

I was wondering if you guys have relaized the new features in the new set of figures, for example, the detail and weathering in the paint job give the figures a better and more realist look. Also I really like the removable vests and the new accessories, extra hands, maps and all the new cool gatgets. But one really nice thing which i like a lot is the fact of the head swivel. I like the idea of beign able to tilt the head up or down it adds a lot to the figure and to the diorama possibilities.

here is a preview:

Hope you guys like them.

WOW, Ranger - those 3 pics with the GIs are the best endorsement for these new guys I have seen. Very cool.
And yes, the head swivel has not been noted often and is a great touch.

I wonder if they were a short-run as I have never seen any of them yet from the 12 Wal-Mart Supercenters in the 30 mile radius of where I live. By the way, the diorama pics look nice.

I just pulled my figures auction the other day. It was a nearly complete set. Missing only one guy and I’m not even sure he is out yet. It got two small bids before I yanked it. I really thought it would do better since there so hard to find. Anyway, maybe they will start showing up soon. I have lots of plans for custom figures.

That diorama is cool. I love the wounded guy.

Indeed, these newest figures are difficult to track down. I visit several WM's a week in Northern CA and have managed to spot only a few of them here and there. Still don't have all of them. I suspect that even the mystery figure will probably not show here.

thnaks everyone for all the cooments.

I will tell you, I found those figure in only one of the 10 Walmarts around my area.....and the funny thing was....that they were marked down as clearance!!!!!!!

yes i bought them each for $3 bucks....but there were only a few figures....so i took them all.....hahahahaha

Sorry if it sounds like braging but i guess I was just lucky this time. I wish there were more so that i could help some of you but now the pegs are empty and back to regular price markings.

I've seen all the figures at one time or another in my area. I at first didn't get that many of the US troops, and those have sold the quickest. The US tankers and some of the Wave 1 German figures seem to sit around. The Germans with the coats and the DAK figures sold quickly! I'd like to see a restock of the 2nd wave figures again - the first wave has been restocked about twice at some stores...

That is a wicked setup! I still need to find two more figures to finish my set. I have this weird thing where I can't open any figures I do have until I complete the set.
