Original 21st Century German figures had a non-molded on grenade.
BBI Paratroopers came with many accessories including a Pineapple grenade.

Yeah, BBI figures used to come with a buttload of pineapple grenades... Those little egg grenades the original 21st Germans came with, man those things were tiny. Like pinhead sized tiny. Maybe the smallest accessory ever, with any figure in this scale. I have a couple around. I'd forgotten about them because you really can't evne display them with figures, they're so small.

Re: any 1/18 pineapple grenades?
Funny, I was sorting through my parts drawers this weekend, where I had a ton of those little grenades...
The BBI US Paratroopers came with pineapple grenades and I believe the 21c retooled Vietnam figures did also. Both the BBI figures with the chutes and those without them came with the grenades as well as smoke canisters. Tiny, but cool accessories that I never really used much except to stick inside build-a-rama crates or storage compartments on tanks and halftracks.
They gave a whole new meaning to the "May Contain Small Parts" warning label on all the packages

Re: any 1/18 pineapple grenades?
thanks for the info guys, i'll go dig some out of storage...
yeah, those german egg grenades were something. I never bothred to look at one under a magnifying glass; i wonder if there is any detail on them or if they are just specks of plastic.

At marauderinc.com, you can find fragmentation-, smoke-, and stick-grenades, but no pineapple...

Yeah, Marauder Inc.'s frags rock, and their smoke too... They clip onto loose belts if you have them available on a figure. Really detailed. My only gripe is they only come in black. I'd love green ones of both.
Don't have one of their stick grenades. I have so many 21st and Dragon ones of those... The Dragon ones even have variety. I think their other two are fantastic though, especially for modern guys.
