[Fason]

i think i'm all in on this guy that preview was very good haven't seen platoon in a long time but i loved this movie. so i'm in.

I really don't care about the actors playing the character. F Sheen and Berenger. But Taylor and Barnes are badasses, but both could not hold a candle to Elias played by one of my favorite actors.

Guh, that video just emphasizes how cool he really is. He looks absolutely - 100% - amazing!

 

[Hex]

I got him the other day! And I must say that I'm over the moon about the sheer quality of it all. The buckles and snap hooks are made of metal, as is the helmet. Real working snap buttons on the canteen, etc. The unbelievable craftsmanship and attention to detail is just amazing!

 

[a-dev]

Cool. I think I'll pull the trigger on this one while I can get it at first retail. I just hope I don't end up wanting other real war-themed figures.

 

[a-dev]

Ordered....now time to pay a visit to my "Currently trying to resist" thread!!!

 

[Calcifer]

I have money to order this right now...but torn between this or royce, i may end up getting both but what one should i try and get first?, the one i will have for christmas.

 

[Mr.E]

In terms of longevity, Platoon is almost 25 years old, and still holding up. Predators came out...last year. You make the choice.

 

[Sick8oy]

I think this is my favourite fig!

 

[Calcifer]

Neck looks a little long ...

 

[a-dev]

His gear looks brown in that pic - I thought it was supposed to be green?

 

[Deckard]

Anyone going to dirty and bloody Taylor up, and give him an AK like the end of the movie?

 

[musketball]

The equiment is right on the money from when I was in the Army. I remember once the L.B.E. (straps that attach to the belt) straps were ajusted, the lose or extra ends were rolled and taped using green 100 mile an hour tape(same as duct tape), like what is included with Taylor to also be placed on his M-16 rifle. It might give it a finished realistic look. Hope this is useful info.

Nah I'm only getting one so he has to stay box fresh. I'm thinking of making him casual, perhaps he'll borrow Sarah Connors cigarette and just lounge about.
