That's news! I can't wait to see the pictures. Do some of the figure resemble a basic infantry soldier, or are they still Special Ops figures as in the last batch? I guess the hunt will soon be on...

Holly crap that is awesome!!! the new figure looks great and the ones on the back look like great editins too!! :D

Shadow83 where did you get this guy? were the others there? (i am guessing not) it's hard to tell on the pic but what weapons are they armed with? one looks like an m60 and another an m14 what about the others? Thanks for posting the pic! cant wait to see pics of the other guys!!! :D

Those look good! The TRUs in my area got the new modern figures in the last round, so hopefully this time won't be different! Thanks for the picture.

Actually i emailed bbi seeing if i could buy the latest weapon sets that came out last christmas and i sent a pic of the guy and asked when it would be out.The person i dealt with said they had samples in and that i could purchase one.Im assuming they will be out soon,especially when at least 2 of them were previewed back in febuary.The one i got actually was open i believe because the packaged wasnt glued but taped and the weapons that came with were wrong i believe because the pack says it should a new version of the mp5.

Yeah the weapon spot is made for the ak but on the package it says it should be an MP5A5 and a G-17 pistol,maybe its just the writing on the package thats wrong.

Great news about the figures. As always I'm excited but will reserve judgement for when they arrive. Good for you Shadow - that is a cool way to get a new figure.

Now...don't we wish we had larger photos then the ones posted here!

I don't know if this has been reported yet, but I found at TrU a paratrooper with chute, figure moulded in the dark green OMG uniform. There were other paras on the peg - I assume from the same assortment as the peg was full - but only one OMG.

WOW!

But the descripton of the weapons don't match what's in the packs?? :?

The Lower left figure shows an M-60 and it says it's a SAW 249...?

Yeah i noticed that also.the person i talked to at bbi said these were just samples so it might be the what actually comes withe guys.The ammon box on the saw isnt even for it.It has opening on top of the box for a peg,so they just stuck some rubbery substance in there to keep it on the gun.

now they look very cool :D now if mike could just let us know when they would be on general release.

Thanks for posting the pics Shadow83 it's a bit weird about the weapons being mixed up isn't it. What is that circular thing next to the back pack of the one on the top right??

They all look cool but is it me or would it not be nice to see whole teams of these guys ie 6 different 10th mountain guys etc as they have done before. I gues we get the variety this way though.

digger that does look like they have added an armour shield but it's hard to tell.

Ah thanks for that i was guessing it was a gas mask but it's good to know for sure the new helmet on that guy looks nice looks like it's a new protech helmet with mic. i meant to ask does the baseball cap on the new CIA guy come off? and is there wrist articulation on all of them?

edit what camo is that omar delgado fig wearing? is it desert tiger stripe?
