New 21c Vietnam 1/18 figs at TRU

Post by GIToys » Sat Oct 27, 2007 12:46 pm

Found two different GIs...not into the Vietnam era so I left them (this is in San Diego, btw); Both are AB types. Go get them before the scalpers do!

As, I mentioned in the other thread, they hit Michigan ( at least one TRU) last Wednesday. So now they are apparently in the MW and on the left coast.

There's a difference between the Platoon and the Vietnam(173rd Airborne) figures. Sounds like only the Vietnam figures have been released, not Platoon (yet).

My 1st impression = they look great! and will be great for customs.

sorry tom I didnt get the box, they came to me open
I can tell you tho that these figs look great, they have all the same features as the upcoming platoon figs. ie preposed legs/arms new artic. etc
some have said they have popeye arms, but I find them to be fine, no bigger than FJ or DAK figs

I think this is my fav, lots of custom potential

I'm trying to find some co-pilots and crew for my helicopters, but I'm not getting any hits on the online searches I have performed. I hope at least these new Vietnam figures will be up for sale at some e-tailer in the near future.
