yet another figure box set idea: "FROGMEN"

Post by 75th Ranger » Tue Aug 02, 2005 10:34 am

I just came up with another great figure box set idea. Hopefully someday one or more of these figure box set ideas would be made.

I was thiking that i great idea would be a WWII US NAVY "FROGMEN" / UDT set.

So covering UDT & SEALs you mean??

That mean they could do 1/18th famous SEAL Richard "Demo Dick" Marcinko & maybe Famous UDT Jesse Ventura?? Demo Dic wouldn`t be to hard as the US SpecOps with beard has a similar appearance to work with anyway ;) Along with the Historic boxed set fo figures.

Though from the point of view of Historic origin to today,yea sounds a great idea l think. Though doing a Sea & land version box set might also make for an interesting choice?

frogmen of Britain and especially Italy (who were quite renowned for the quality and abilities of their frogmen) should not be forgotten.

Indeed Aferg,

Alas l`m not sure if that would be Xd`s first choice if they did take this title.
One that showed US Navy Frogmen would probably be more forthcoming.

Still thank`s for thinking os us Brits & of course the Italians who pretty much are the true fathers of Military divers. We quickly learned from them to counter em.

I'd go for some "toadmen" too. Anyone recall the ones from years back where you put baking soda in a base so they would dive up and down??? LOL, maybe some 1/18 ones with baking soda in the air tanks!!!
