This is going to be another awesome Nam piece from TS.I have seen this in person and that BAR belt is SWEET!!!!!!!

Would be cool to have a non-smiling headsculpt though.

I think the pictures look great, but Toy Soldier has a streak of putting out figures that look worse than their prototype pictures.

WOW..that looks great..I like the HS and the details on the pancho are very nice

You will rarely find anything in mass production that completely measures up to its prototype in terms of quality because the prototype methods and materials differ typically. Few of us can afford a figure put together with the methods used in producing prototypes because they are unique, highly custom figures until they go into mass production.

Plus, TS always weathers their preview figures and adds little things like the green tape, so what you purchase doesn't quite look like that. But frankly, I would prefer to weather and detail my figures to my own preferences.

I have never been disappointed in TS's production quality compared to its preview prototype.

Looks like the molded canteen tops have been changed to functional versions. That is certainly a nice change if that makes the production version.

Here, for everyone's convenience, are all the photos referenced above. I put them on my server to post here.

I like the set, but the sculpt is meh. Looks to much like a classic GI Joe sculpt to be honest. I liked their last Nam sculpt much better

I mean no disrespect to Lt Longgrear, but although the figure's HS does bear resemblance to the reference pic, I doubt he'd have that grin on his face in the field, especially in the midst of combat.

Very true. But, ya might be surprised at peoples reactions during firefights. Fear and adrenalin cause some interesting actions. I giggled like a little kid once.

...and again some nice and interesting parts will be available.....When is this coming out???

 

[CorranJ]

It's supposed to be out this month(august),and was supposed to be out at the WOH show,But with the disasters in China,Alan decided to puch it back to give the people time to do a bit of recovery from Mother Nature.

I'm not totally sure it will be August either,but it could be.

 

[Usmcrtop]

EBT toys hinted that the BAR belt may sold separately at some point in the future

 

[count-orlok]

:wideyes
Some very interesting parts for me. Hope there will be a chance to get one figure.
I love Toy Soldier! :devilhnd

 

[GrenadierStinny]

Sculpt aside, this figure rocks my balls off.

 

[rogerbee]

Nice figure,

Is it just me, or does he look a bit like Frank Sinatra!?

CHEERS!

 

[75th Ranger]

Well, this is one that I actually like a lot!
when, how much and where?
by the way, is the poncho included in our version?

On a side note, for those of you interested, in the movie "Operation Dumbo Drop", a Disney Nam movie, Danny Glover actually is shown wearing the type of load bearing gear and suspenders shown above with this new upcoming figure.

 

[Von13]

Very nice! All looks great! That's the way Tigers should fit, a little snug and a little short in the leg. None of this ultra baggy pants dragging the ground look.

 

[Hollowpoint]

Having seen the figure up close and having a personal collection of up close pics, I have no doubts on the quality of this figure. And knowing Alan's dedication to it, it's a no brainer. The EBT guys know I want this figure bad.

 

[Apache26]

I think Alan wants me to go broke.

I'm going to blow way too much money on the rucks and ponchos alone...

 

[e5sargemac]

Aside from the tiger stripes, which I think are getting a bit over-used, and the poncho, which should be a little wider, some nice gear on this one!
