1st Infantry Division
Just out of curiosity, anyone have a theory on this question. BBI and 21st Century have both made figures of 82nd Airborne and the 101st Airborne, anybody got a theory as to why we have not seen any figures designated as being from the 1st Infantry Division a.k.a. The Big Red One?

21st did
EDIT - If my bucket 'o extra arms is not playing tricks on me, there were 3 first series guys depicting the 1st ID: The infantryman, the BAR Gunner & the Officer. Is this a trick question Because if so I fell for it
There is some fascination with paras that I guess sells because they are always over-represented. 21st gave us 6 then bbi gave us 9 more

When TRU was clearing them out, most of the boxes had the seals broken, so you could not only check out to make sure everything was there, but see if you were getting an American or a German. Now that I think about it, I think I only went for Germans with the Fountains and got the American with either the Hayloft or Farmhouse........damn, this getting old and senility sucks.

Yes
Yes, the halftrack driver was 1st ID, as were a couple other early releases (the ones already mentioned). He did have a helmet insignia; the other series 1 figs had it on their upper left arm.
