    Hi! Thanks for comments!
    We do not plan to produce figures in other scales. Maybe in the future.

    Hello Duff,

    Another great figure, and a winner for sure. Are you able to post hi-res photos of the subject for painting purposes, please? I’ll be buying this from Hobbyeasy once available.

    Cheers,

    Kylie

    Great figure! I think a 1/16th version is on the shopping list!

    Looks like a great figure and pose. If I was to be honest I haven't been wrapped in the past figures but this one has raised the bar
    I wish it was an easier uniform to paint, any chance of doing the earlier 2003ish tri-colour uniform ??

    Rangers are only in multikam.
    The soldier is dressed in Crye Precision Combat pants and shirt. This uniform exists in different patterns. You can choose any of them.

    This one looks great...nice pose and stance.

    I do wonder...why the backdating, Duff? Why 2011 and not 2017 or 2018? Why not a newer date?

    Also, do you have plans to make any 1/16 figures with different (heavier) weaponry? We're still lacking 1/16 firing modern rocket and missile launchers. If you noticed, many of the 1/16 figures are riflemen, snipers, pistol shooters, and machine gunners, but not support troops with multi-barrel grenade launchers, rocket and missile launchers, shotguns, LAWs, or the newest 7.62mm or .50cal sniper rifles (not the M-82A1 as that has been made in 1/16 before). Thanks.

    Hi! The waapon and equipment of this figure were used by the Rangers of the 75th Regiment in Afghanistan in 2011. We do not know if such equipment was used in other time periods.
    In the near future, we do not plan to release figures with heavy weapons.

    Hi Duff, do you plan on, or would consider, doing complimentary figures, figures that work in pairs, please?
  16. MrBMB A Fixture

    If there is a modern version to this, it would be nice

    Would like a pose close to this but wanted a better head/sculpt and with a SAW

    Hi Duff,

    I know you receive a lot of suggestions, would you consider doing a soldier in gas mask or MOPP one time?

    Thanks

    Hi Kylie,
    Sorry for waiting. In the near future the release of such figures is not planned.

    Hello Duff,
    No worries at all. I’ve ordered the above figure from Hobbyeasy already, due in the post this week.

    Best regards,

    Kylie
