Looks like this one came with two figures, and the box says diecast, but I'm not sure about the other.

The cammo version pictured in the second picture (which is the S1 variant) is diecast. It came with the two figures and accessories.

The S2 "Annamae" version came as both plastic and diecast. The diecast version was boxed and the plastic version came disassembled as a model kit. No figures were included with either, but all the accessories were. I saw the Annamae version as a diecast vehicle, though I own the plastic kit version.

Hope this helps

The cammo version pictured in the second picture (which is the S1 variant) is diecast.

Apparently this one was/is available as a kit as well, I think I may have one of these buried someplace that I picked up at Wally, but like the other kit that Tman mentioned no figures are included.

Thanx for your kind proposal ostketten but I prefer die-cast models _ when possible!

You guys are correct on the camo version; I bought mine as a model kit and it is not cold steel. For this reason I much prefer the S1; it has that lovely cold steel heft to it!

Actually, the S1 version (Camo) can be found in kit form in either diecast or plastic. At one point a walmart near me was awash in kits of the priest and some were, according to the cover picture, S1 and some were S2 but in S2 you could feel from the box weight that the kit was plastic. Weighing the ones with S1 on the box picture some were obviously plastic while some were obviously diecast.

I will miss these kits. I actually had better luck finding new vehicle releases at WM in kit form than I did with the boxed versions. Makes me wonder if I will ever see any again that are not in a "Battle of..." box.

I have both the dicast one, and plastic kit. I never seen the camo one until now.
