i'm not in to mod military figs but i have to say this looks good, its the first time i've seen one of those vests fit properly and not look all bulky.

The real M79 grenade carrier vest does have open bottom pouches for the 40mm rounds but I don't think the rounds are supposed to sit so low and be exposed like they are in the photos of this figure.

Nice to know that the delta are next.

Dutch · #39 (**permalink**) 09-19-2011, 09:19

Great figure and I like the M79 Grenade vest.
Ideal for the Vietnam figures.

My Dear Friend!
I Love Your Work: The Pix Are Great, Your Talents Are Second To None, And Everything Is A Great Reference Material To Anyone Interested In Military Topics Worldwide!
Having Said That, And Without Anything To Do With Our Beloved Friend, I Must Say That Most Of Us Are Totally Fed Up With All These American Figures!
I Fully Understand That American And British Figures Sell Highly, But This Is Not The Way To Push This Hobby Forward!
There Are Other Armies And Special Forces Out There - On The Same Level Of Professionalism, And In Some Specialties Even Better Than The U.s. And U.k. Forces!
So, Enough With Them..
Let Us See Some Factory-made Israeli, German, Belgian, Russian And The Like Forces.
We Need Something Totally New, And The Producing Companies Should Be Aware Of It. They Better Take Us Seriously - After All We Are The Ones Paying For Whatever They Produce!!!

Most of us ?

Sorry man, I see your point but this isn't just another US Military Action Figure, it is a "Black Hawk Down" figure one of the best war movies ever made, I think most of us have been waiting for properly made figures of this movie/conflict/time .

Once I again, I think you have a point, but this is the wrong post for it, I dont think most of us would change this series of figures for figures of Israeli, German, Belgian, Russian, and the like forces.

Shakey. · #44 (**permalink**) 09-19-2011, 11:57

Another awesome figure! And how cool is it that they are doing the whole line!

Bravo Bob · #45 (**permalink**) 09-19-2011, 11:59

Nice looking gear, and the body type looks pretty good as well.

Broadshore · #46 (**permalink**) 09-19-2011, 12:00

That LC 2 gear looks nice.

ZeroDelta · #47 (**permalink**) 09-19-2011, 12:38

I am still wating for the other figure to come out, I need the buttpack and such. Also, need the grenade vest badly, hope they will be out soon and parted too. XD

Nugget · #48 (**permalink**) 09-19-2011, 18:27

I spy Shugart and Gordon inspired figures

. These look really nice, espcially the grenade vest.

I agree. This is something I've been waiting for for a looong time. At the current time, I'm not really thinking about anything but Black Hawk Down.

pinoyprime · #50 (**permalink**) 09-19-2011, 18:47

simply beautiful a must buy for me.

voodoo · #51 (**permalink**) 09-19-2011, 18:57

Wow! I really like this set! That's a great looking soldier.

Not really. The long pouches for illum rounds in the top row appeared after 1973, and the number of pouches on the bottom row (six per side) is wrong (should be five.)
It is a beautiful figure though, and the rate of production gives me hope that the D-Boys are going to start being previewed by winter. I'm probably going to get Shughart and Gordon.

Is it just me, or is that M16A2w/m203 just simply beautiful?

Thanks for the headsup but I think it still suitable for a Vietnam bash.

Maybe you can remove the sixth pouches and put it on the middle row.
Just a thought.

Thanks for the heads up on the text for some reason my formatting didn't take affect on the bottom paragraph. I'm not sure where you get the $35 price increase from though. It costs money to ship these in, paypal takes 4% on my payment as well as yours and then I ship them to you. It's the cost of doing business. I am willing to offer a discount for those who pre-order through me though and have put the item on sale for the next 3 weeks only. Thanks for checking out my store!
