That paratrooper rig looks pretty badass and I know it fits a joe perfectly. I may need a few sets.

 

[Lord Bodega]

That is very cool. I will be picking one up also. Thanks for the pics!

 

[Mystic Papaver]

Yeah, the paratrooper rig is very nice!

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Good to see 1:18th military still getting represented at brick and mortar.

 

[Mystic Papaver]

Indeed. I remember seeing the back of one Elite Force box and there was an awesome hostage rescue guy and a rad helicopter pilot with a skull helmet. Does anyone know the status of these figures?

Yes I know which ones you are talking about. They were sent for production but they never came out. There was 3 or 4 different guys. Shit they never gave us the helmet they false advertised on the box of the newest hummer. That chopper pilot looked mean

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, that aircrew with MFS was nice.

 

[3way]

Damn! That is a hell of a cool set indeed.

Myhope was since they are once again producing and selling at target, they will release these guys.

What? The Humvee driver doesn't have the helmet pictured in the box? Just ordered one.

 

[jersey john]

No dice. I bought 2 hoping for that helmet and a pickelhaub kit. Those new bbi humvees have serious custom potential. I struck out on both. Maybe with the new explosion of 1/18 stuff coming out I'm holding out hope pickle will revisit the kits

 

[3way]

Well guess see what is what once mine arrives.
That helmet does look great and shouldn't be allowed to sell a product that's not as advertised :/

Just received some of my BBI figures (Quad NVG & Helmet with goggles down SEALs). Not SEALs from this thread, though hope the same exists with them for this.

Damn they look awesome but kinda disappointed they removed wrist articulation from older styles and ankle.

However the Big Plus was that the front Chest plate carrier can be prised off, so you can make set of Armour/chest carrier for Any figure to wear or glued onto any other type of figure.
Plus kinda neat to see the torso is screw held together Under the front Chest plate.

That makes the New figures Awesome over the earlier types.

 

[3way]

Just grabbed some photos of front chest plate prised off and showing the screw that holds the torso.

I still feel like these are a step back from what we were getting a decade ago.. but its way better than nothing, that's for sure! Good find.

They have been that way for a while - I have made many customs using the front panel...some caster even cast those panels..

 

[3way]

Ahhh My First ELITE Force since long ago.
I recall dremelling the hard plastic ones and the earlier rubber torso ones for the vests.
This does make life easier prising them off and making straps and back panel.

 

[felexlautner]

Such an amazing site it is to discuss our doubts. Thanks for sharing Spectre Morocco Jacket

 

[NSA]

Hehe.

I wonder if they'll clearance out any of these?

 

[Contraband]

Yeah. They got a small stack of them at the Target in a Mary Esther Florida. If anyone still has a Kmart near them? They also carry these figures.

This thread has been asleep too long! So the other week I found an auction for loose figures and got several BBI elite force guys including this one which is supposed to be a navy seal sniper code name “Cutter”. I think he would make a better SAS commando and I think he looks a little like a young Richard Burton. I wish these cheap army builders would come back. These were $20 for a set of 5 when released, nowadays they’d probably want 70-80 dollars for a set. The picture of the full set is not mine, it’s just for reference.
