Some awesome items coming! For modern folks, he's got the only 1/18 versions I know of for the FN SCAR, H&K MP7, MGL-140, SOPMOD M-14, and XM26. Plus a nice little collection of scopes.

Plus an MG-34 for the WWII crowd. I'm sure it will have a bipod. And as he mentions, I'm sure the white-colored prototypes don't do the detail any justice.

Oh, and a Colt Peacemaker for any wild west fans. Not many figures to go with it out there, but still a cool weapon!

And I'm sure I'll be buying up that slick little knife-scabbard set...much better than my spotty customizing attempts at the same.

This is great news! i have been waiting to see these! i love the new modular weapons! i know i will be buying a load of these.

I have to agree that knife and scabbard is VERY cool! all the modern figures out there have lacked a good knife!

I usually have a favourite item with John's stuff but i have about 6 favourites with this wave!

What I really need is a tripod for that MG-34.

Parrish, can marauder produce a PPSH russian WW2 machine gun with removable drum clip? How can I get an e-mail to him? I also want to see some WW2 sniper rifles, a springfield with scope, and K-98 or G-43 german rifles with scopes. Water cooled browning 30 cal? WW2 era combat shotgun (trenchgun)?

The e-mail address listed on his website is marauderinc@aol.com. I know he's pretty open to feedback and suggestions. He seems to focus more on the GI Joe & Star Wars crowd, though obviously a lot of his stuff has wider range appeal. WWII stuff has been more limited from him, though he has done a nice Luger, stick grenade, and now MG-34. As with any company, I think it comes down to him producing what he feels will get him a good return on his investment. So for example he mentions the MG-34 has potential with both the WWII buffs and the Star Wars guys.

I agree that the Russian submachine gun would be awesome! I think we'll be getting one from Hasbro from the Joe line:
