First, I'm working on the assumption that the BBI WW2 figures they pictured are going to happen at some point (The U.S. Infantry guys). Short of diversifying that to include more variety, I'm ok with U.S. Infantry.

Now, my wish... I'd like some British Infantry, preferably from the European Theater however Africa's an interesting potential subject. For now though I'm all for European British Troops.

I'm hoping anything BBI puts out features the articulation style of the P-51 Pilot, and that the legs are "apart" similar to the Army Special Ops/Navy SEAL/Pilot figures rather than the more current figures who have awkwardly close together legs.

Thanks for handling this Aferg.

WOUNDED SOLDIERS / at least some extra hands, heads, legs and torsos that can be interchasnge with the regular figures to make them look wounded!

French resistance fighters including female soldiers.

RANGERS!

-Bob Hope with golf club and ball cap accessory...

-Nurses and average townsfolk


I like the ideal of interchangable body parts for wounded or just to make a completely different figure.

Guys


Forgot to put this in!
1st I would like to say to BBI. The 1/18 WWII Paratroopers is the 1st figures that I'v ever gotten from BBI and I just love them!

What I think we need is some ground ready Paratroopers (Pathfinders) that have already landed. Make about 4 of them in small boxes, give them min equipment so they can use the extra equipment that the 6 first Paras came with.

Russian figures. It would be nice to have submachine gunners, rifles, and machine gun figures.

I voted other regular troops, by this I mean not only Generic US troops in different specialties (maybe with U-Apply decals for different Divisions, Ranks) but also Support troops, like mechanics ground crew, Operations, Nurses, Bomb loaders more tank crewman, etc.
