Re: DAM: Grenadier 75th Ranger TASK FORCE RANGER-SOMALIA 1993
SWEET! Looks like they are really doing the entire series! Another must-buy for me! Happy to know that there will still be more 90s gear for at least a few more months to come!

Re: DAM: Grenadier 75th Ranger TASK FORCE RANGER-SOMALIA 1993
"Grenadier" should be Ewan McGregor right? Obviously there was more than one grenadier...
Sculpt looks like a cross between Bloom/McGregor. I like it though.
Gear looks fantastic. Those gloves are amazing.
EDIT: Sculpt looks much better in the close-up. Probably very nice with the helmet on.
Hoot is next?

Head looks too small for the body, same problem ACE had when they used the body. (My opinion)

Re: DAM: Grenadier -75th Ranger TASK FORCE RANGER-SOMALIA 1993
Nice to see how confident they are in this line--releasing info on the next fig before the first one even hits retailers!
I'm looking at getting the squad if the prices stay reasonable.

Re: DAM: Grenadier -75th Ranger TASK FORCE RANGER-SOMALIA 1993
Yes, very cool. This is Grimes / Ewan McGregor. The M9 scabbard with cloth pouch was only made with old Hot Toys VBSS sets. The grenade vest is also another rare item made by Toy Soldier or Hot Toys and this one looks pretty nice.

It's Obi-wan Kenobi! Well sort of. I hope they clean up the headsculpt a bit more. They did an excellent job on Josh Hartnett. They should maintain that with Ewan McGregor. In the close up it does look like him though.

Re: DAM: Grenadier -75th Ranger TASK FORCE RANGER-SOMALIA 1993
Exactly the same thoughts here as well.....i was going to let them pass me by but they look really well done,i'm going to have to pre-order i think,there are just so many excellent figures coming down the line it's difficult trying to work out which one's to drop from the wants list....with HT's prices going through the roof i'm considering dropping a few i would normally of bought up no question.....or i get lucky on the Lotto and buy them all.

Re: DAM: Grenadier -75th Ranger TASK FORCE RANGER-SOMALIA 1993
Cool! Not my cup of tea but this is gonna look great once the whole team is completed.
Once this is done, what's next? the whole team from Platoon?  |

Re: DAM: Grenadier -75th Ranger TASK FORCE RANGER-SOMALIA 1993
Nice fig and I agree on the "blend of Ewan MacGregor and Orlando Bloom" comment. I'm probably going to be skipping these, although the idea of grabbing the nude figures as bases for other bashes has growing appeal.
Does that M16/M203 look a little undersized to anyone else, or is it just me? And is that grenade vest right? The Toy Soldier/Wild Works one I have from their medic set uses actual pouches rather than these open-bottomed ones.
