Never expected these from Blackdog!!

They look very nice, though. I hope this is the begining of a whole new line by them.

I saw these too. To me, the proportions and poses just don't look right. They all look like their mid sections are too long. The SF guys must be twins too. They look like they both have the same face. I guess the US Soldiers in Iraq are supposed to be wearing the Army Combat Shirt as opposed to a standrad ACU shirt, but they just look off to me. Also, on the US Soldier in Iraq No 1, his helmet looks too big as it covers his face. The unbloused boots look sloppy and the boots themselves are way off. They look like WWII-style leather boots.

Army Combat Shirt:

When it comes to body proportions.. every time I go out walking I look at the people around me and I see a wide variety of body shapes.. some that really look strange.. so that doesn't put me off too much.

As for the twins, that could be easily fixed with a replacement head.

As for clothes and equipment.. well, I'm no expert, so I can't say anything about that.

I'm just glad more companies are getting interested in doing modern figures. To me having a couple more modern figures that are not perfect is better than not having them at all.

Just my own opinion

I agree Hisham. look a lot better that some of the latest modern figures available.
Wonder what they will cost.

The special forces op no 1 pose looks like a member of the village people..... in the army

I will probably pick up a set. I am also happy to see more modern figures.
