Very cool.
To think I just about ordered the SEALS yesterday. I think I have better hang back some days to see what other goodies are in store. To save a bit on postage and the post brexit extortion money the post now charges.

OOoh very good! I see at least one opportunity to convert one of those into a Willem Dafoe from one of the older Jack Ryan movies.  lol

Great figures, I'll get them as soon as my grey mountain is a bit more manageable.  :D
