Well done Dragon,

why in hell they re-release these old sets from the 90´s. Sure you get four Figures for about 8 to 10€ but the quality is far away from today standards.I have them all and the Marine Hue sets are bad in Detail and Quality. The Green berets and Cav Figures are OK but lacks quality and Detail too. For me it is wasted money. They bring out an complete new M48 tank and now this. Why not some new sets, for example a tank crew.
Nooo, what we need are tons of German WW2 Figures. Why don´t re-release all of these old ones. There aren´t many German WW2 Figures aviable from Dragon ;-).

I'm hoping they're brought up to today's standards a bit. Either way Hornet heads would do wonders for them

It isn't likely that they've changed any molds. For me this is a good release, because I've been seeking some of these sets with heavy mods in mind.

It would be awesome if Dragon were to do some new sprues of more modern/'Nam area equipment in plastic. More along the lines of the Gen.2 equipment that comes with their WW2 sets. I think that alone would not only go a long way to improving the figures but also tempt more people into making the purchase.

If only they could rerelease their urban elite series !!!!

I have all of them and I never thought they were 'that' bad!

yes, a little "flat" on some details, but a little work and a resin head and they can be made very nice.

Besides... your other option is either wait for masterbox, or spend $15-18 for EACH figure in resin.

glad to see them back. though I don't think the price tag will warrant many retail buyers.

^^DITTO^^

I think they are very usable. I welcome them again. Even though I have them all already, I'll probably get a set or two again.

I have these figure sets, and they're actually quite good for their age. Good to have them available again.. although they were always "gottable" from HK

Another Dragon "burn". Maybe they think the older modellers are so old by now that they have forgotten these figs and think they are new, and that the younger modellers hadn't seen them before and think they are new.

seeing the responses on this thread makes me want to dig them out and paint up a few...just to prove what can be done.

They stopped too short.They really need to rerelease the helicopter crew,that's hard to find.Always seen plenty of these on hobbysites.

to be more precise : green beret kit have good details, but the figure are giant size compared to the other kits (like the marine recon set, which is a good set by the way). Khe Sanh, you could could be called flat figures : No folds, no curves, stif figures. 1st cavalry, I never had them on hand. Tet offensive is my second Dragon figure kit I made, so my memories are not that good on the quality of the set. The pair of the black buy carrying the wounded has an interesting poses. In the nam series, in my opinion the best kits are Us navy seals 2, Marine recon, and ARVN rangers.

Julien,you`re right, these 3 sets are the best of NAM-series. 3305 set looks too "old-fashioned" and simple (especially anatomy, strange folds), figures are closer to 1:32 scale than 1:35. But 3305 boxart is absolutely amazing! To my mind one of the best from Dragon collection. Although all these figures of 1990th era have no contemporary level, but I like it, cause my Nam fever began with it. :-)

I wish they would re-release ALL the 'Urban Elite' series too, I appreciate the re release of the Nam stuff, but come on Dragon you pump out a new box of German WW2 every week so give us some NEW MODERNS....please.

Bummer, when I saw the headline I was hoping this was going to be an all new Vietnam era tank crew for their M48. Oh well, maybe the crew will materialize with the next Vietnam announcement from Dragon...or someone else.

Despite their age, (right around 20 years old, yikes, has it really been that long?) these guys bring back some good memories.

I remember, the Tet figures being on the bulky side while the Khe Sanh figures were on the thin side. Regardless, I loved the little detail parts they added for the helmet bands like the bottle of LSA and toothbrush or the shell for the M79.

I've since traded off all my unbuilt Dragon Marines in favor of the Hobby Fan and Bravo6 USMC figures but I did pick up a couple of the Air Cav and Green Beret figures not too long ago. Probably more for nostalgia than anything else but they are quite usable.

I'm with Sherb. I was expecting new releases. Not only was the detail pretty poor, the guns looked too small, especially the M60. I bought the Khe Shan and Tet set with the intention of putting them in a dio. However even though they are both 1/35 the 2 sets were totally different. No way the could both be used together. I'd like to think Dragon have improved upon them and given them the same treatement thier latest generation figures have.
