Badcat--Tieka 1/18 101st Airborne figures

[dragon53]

From Badcat's blog:

" New Shooter in 1:18 Set for July Launch

Tieka 1:18 Action Figures will be available this coming July. Each set of seven figures features posable modern 101st Airborne soldiers, each with 17 points of articulation. Unique to this series are knee pads that cover the joints for added realism. Each action figure sports a slightly different vest and weapon accessories. The 'Cat hopes 1:18 aircraft and vehicles will soon follow."

NOTE: it says, "The 'Cat hopes 1:18 aircraft and vehicles will SOON (my emphasis) follow."....So does that mean Tieka has 1/18 planes/vehicles in the works which would refer to the "new-tool" 1/18 Badcat mentioned recently...or is that just wishful thinking by Badcat?

wait and see...

i believe Tieka made a vague reference to doing vehicles at some point, but no details were given. If you check all the posts in the other thread about these figures you may find that reference...somebody emailed them about it i think..

From their website it looks like they're planning a Humvee : http://www.tiekatoys.com/news.asp?id=166

The next (rumored) scheduled thing coming is German WW2 figures, which I've been told now by a couple different people within the organization. They're really nice figures though, so I'm anxious to see the Germans they're working on if their modern is so outstanding.

I've heard nothing about a Humvee, and to the best of my knowledge that item is a BBI SuperHumvee just for trade show purposes.

There's enough Hummers out there, they ought to make a Stryker to go with those modern figs!!
