Does anyone know where I can find SOL Model 1:35 scale figures? The manufacturer appears to be out of business and probably has been for some time. None of the on-line retailer I checked have SOL figures . I tried Ebay too with no luck.

I am probably SOL.

They cease to exist as a company. Some of the stuff got bought up by Legends Production in Korea, whilst the occasional sets do turn up on ebay from time to time as well. Private sellers forums might be a good idea if you are looking for something in particular.

SOL Model appears to be back. The website www.solmodel.com is active and lists a substantial inventory. Unfortunately 99% of the site is in Korean so it is impossible to get around and order anything. If I try to use Google Translate I can read more and add items to the shopping cart but the shopping cart and checkout pages are 100% in Korean. This is quite frustrating.

You can try Lucky Models web store for some old SOL items, As I have picked some up from them.
Also Legends Productions resin co. picked up a lot of their figure models. Check here

Thank you for the inquiry! I've now managed to find a figure, long OOP, and order it to complete a set I had!

Great stuff,

Kylie

The figure arrived today and is everything I wanted: detailed and accurate. The service from SOL was great, too. Absolutely recommend them.

Does anyone have experience with sol swat figures? They have a very good range of interested poses both in 1/35 and 120mm scale!How do they look? Do they worth buying?

Hello Aristeidis,

I have their three 120mm SWAT figures,& one spare; they're great. Well done figures, with crisp details. I did have the full set of 1/35 figuresl; they are a little on the small side when compared to other figures in the same scale.

The figures would be accurate for 80-90s LAPD guys.

Hello Kylie. Thanks for the reply. Concerning 1/35 what about detail? Do they look like toys compared to other resin offerings? When saying small compared to others in 1/35, do you mean like TAMIYA figures which are a little smaller compared to others? Is this difference visible enough? Sorry to ask lot of questions but i am thinking to order both 120mm and 1/35 figures!
