Does anyone produce any modern US Marine figures? I was hoping to find figures for an LAV-A2 and hopefully ones on the ground as well.
Thanks!

I know about modern US figures, but I guess the better question is can I use any modern US figures to model Marines? If so I am def going the Blackdog route because I've been waiting to pull the trigger on their US figures

Warriors do/did some modern US Marines in resin. They are beautiful figures, mostly in 'action' poses, and represent Marines from around the time of the Iraq invasion on to about 2004/2005 i think. Only problem is that they are technically out of production, but you can find them through a number of sources such as squadron in the USA, and netmerchants online store.

the Warriors figures would be out of date for post 2006 anyway. The Marine Corps then went to the MTV, which coincidentally, SF did as well. Any correct Marine Corps figure for that time frame could, with a little reconfiguring of pockets, be made into an SF dude. (Provided you remove the cover from his helmet, if he's even wearing one)

With that being said, I'll look into Legend and Blackdog figures to convert. It'll be for my LAV-A2 that I'm working on
