I was at TRUs today to see if they replenished their XD shelf after I wiped them out Monday. And the shelvs where bear. But I did spot a new figure line called America's Army. Looked like McFaline figures. The are a little bigger then 1'18 and they look good. Had the current army logo all over the packaging. Was trying to see who made them, but the only thing I could see was Made In China. Any one eles noticed these?

I saw them in the Mishwaka, IN TRU a couple months ago (when the PAK-40 Hanomag first debuted). They do look nice, but seemed closer to 1/12 or so, and I had the impression that they had limited articulatiion. At first, I thought they might be the new bbi 1/12 line, but clearly not.

I saw some here earlier this week. I think the package said they were 5". No articulation at all, as far as I could tell.

We seen these in Columbus, Ohio. I really like them, I think it's a good way to honor our soldiers. If I'm thinking of the right ones they have a picture of a real soldier on the front, listing all his achievements. The hubby doesn't want them since they have no articulation, but I still think they're neat.

America's aemy? perhaps they are from the game of the same name. The game is a modern free, downloadable game developed by the gov. as a potential recruiting device.

Aw, shucks.

How cool, a dowloadable free game from the government. Neato! I'm not totally clear on how this will recruit anyone, playing Grand Theft Auto doesn't make me want to carjack anyone.

But hey, they gotta do what they gotta do.
