Three decades ago? I've got Ancient Greeks that by have been unpainted so long they were just Greeks when I bought them. Luxury.
I store some of my unpainted figures at the British Museum ^__^.

I wouldn't mind seeing those Bob Murch figures but none of the images are showing.
I thought it was just me.

Actually someone mentioned an issue displaying Facebook images.

Apparently PhotoFu#$et now want to charge you $3-400 per annum for the right to display your photos. A change made without any consultation or warning.

OK, let me try this again.  If this works, you should see previews for the new Bob Murch Vietnam figures

I do like the pose of that first one. I don't know if it's just an optical illusion, but the M16s seem to look rather large? It could be a case of oversizing to minimise breakage potential.

Looks good, though as is mentioned the M16 looks large.

I like the first figure but would probably replace his M16 with something else. The rest look too cartoony for my taste. I do have quite a few of his Pulp figures but these would look out of place in my collection. However saying that, he usually does decent civilians so I hope he makes a line of them as thats the biggest gap in figures available for that era. Some Brown Water and Navy types would be useful additions as well.

I would like to buy TAG Vietnam Figures but are they still in a good condition? They are not the newest figures on the market. Did somebody buy them recently?

Haven't bought any of their Vietnam range in years but did buy some WW2 USMC recently and they are great

TAG are run by, probably, the best mould maker in the business - not going to be a problem

Pulp Miniatures had some painted up versions of the new sculpts briefly. They were there 5 minutes ago. ???
I think I would get some as they look better than I thought, although some of the details bother me. The VC looked quite good but I wonder how big they would be?

My preference of favourite ranges would be TAG and FOA equally good, followed by West Wind and lastly Baker Company but I happily mix all of them.

The Pulp Figures site has the first five packs (painted) on their front page.

Sorry, yes I was looking at the latest news section rather than the breaking news on the home page. lol
