Guessing not if they're the same '88 group that's on the Speeder and Stronghold (thanks for the reminder, K-tig!).
I don't think they're a different faction, just a different MOS. These guys are infantry, Sols are vehicle operators. The "enemy" faction is most definitely the Soil Ghosts, but I think there's a lot of end user "DIY" when it comes to story and factions.
can't unsee the similarity!I loved that episode BTW...pointing out a sad truth...that it's preferable to get f*#%ed in the a$$, give a blowjob AND give two handies all at the same time, than it is to fly...
Been waiting on these guys to show up...
I like these figures,and have preordered one of each the "commander" and the "victory 2 pack" Sets from bbts.ill order a squad of these guys too. The vehicles are a little pricy IMO. I'm sure they're nice,but unless they're motorized,I can't see the price being warranted.
Does anyone know anything about the unmasked figures shown in a few of the promo pics?

Some details on them have been released sporadically. Check out our Q and A to find some info on Bob:
Ori Toy Q and A | The Fighting 1:18th!
The rest of the guys are planned for release however we don't know when.
Story Update:
In a silent night, Damien took out the notebook of Bob cautiously. He jumped to a page with a map. It is a map about the surrounding states of his own country. Damien, who has never been to a place outside his own country, for the very first time, followed the footsteps of Bob and explored the outside world.
"After WWII, Omanga has developed nuclear technology and started to use nuclear plants to generate power. With the experience that nuclear power is far more efficient than fossil energy, Omanga has expanded the use to an unprecedented level. Finally its first generation nuclear plant at the north exploded in an accident and released large quantities of radioactive particles into the atmosphere. This catastrophic disaster has resulted half of the territory of Omanga and some of the neighbouring states were contaminated. Most of the populations at the north moved to the south. With resources pressure, Omanga has become more aggressive and started its invasion to the border of Gafia.
Gafia is an inland state between Omanga and the land of soil ghosts. Facing the invasion from Omanga towards its border, Gafia’s central government adopts an appeasement policy. In contrast, people living in the border are fighting rigorously against Omanga’s invasion. This contrast has torn the state apart and regional conflicts always happen."

I'm not a fan of the vehicles as they're, imo, a bit unrealistic, yes sure lots of Joe vehicles are outlandish & highly unrealistic/practical but that's the Joes. Acid Rain seems to me more modern day & current, therefore transforming vehicles do not do it for me whereas the figures are spot on & could be a win. Expensive yes & prices will only skyrocket until bought out by a bigger company... I would love to own some of these but I must resist...
that threw me off as well. I'm assuming it's a new tag line? Maybe cuz they have a glory hole in every box?
So..Awe..some!
It sounds like they've got new product info. Perhaps a price/release date for the Raptor or Laurel?
I hope so. Not sure if they are going to do "waves" or just single releases but it looks like the Agurts and Raptor are next. In our Q and A feature, he said he wanted to focus on Laurel this year. Maybe that will be a 4th qtr release?
Wait... isn't every box a glory hole? :trollface:
Anyway, have preorders gone up for that little four wheeler yet?
And what places distribute them? (Besides BBTScalpers)

That is one of the other places. I think the blog has others. I'll check a little later.
I'm sticking with BBTS and using their POL since shipping is going to be a bitch on these babies.
Sometimes BBTScalpers prices are so inflated that's it's still cheaper to pay shipping from far away lands...sometimes...
Right now BBTS has the same prices as everybody else. So do you want to pay shipping from Hong Kong or the US? Seems like a pretty easy decision to me.
:explode:
some of ye guys may not hae the shiny things yet but at least ye got a local distributor .. i ordered mine direct from HK from a couple of stores .. always a gamble as they dont necessarily declare at low value even when ye say pretty please !
i ordered some head casts from SWG and ended up with a 22 dollar charge on 9 dollars worth of items ... embuggerment courtesy of HMG !

Story update:
Bucks
The Bucks team was set up in 1997, the time when the use of bio-chemical weapons by other states has become widespread. It was a small military unit to carry out secret service with Bob as the chief. It has successfully resolved many crises for Argurts and the unit has expanded to a large team supported by scientists, engineers and technical staff. This expansion has also aroused the suspicion of the politicians in the government against Bob.
