Yeah, maybe that's supposed to be a marine eagle on the package, but it looks a whole lot more like a nazi one.

Cool - never saw those before. Where did you find them?

 

[Plastic General]

My theory is that at the end of 21st CENT TOYS life, there were a few unlaunched products that were stored in Chinese warehouses?
Eventually they were found and packed into some of the left over packaging and sold in China?!
If anybody has any info, they could be hunted down and sold to the "must-haves" like me!
OR PROTOTYPES?

PG,This lot for sale or trade? Best pose is the gyrene with the rifle grenade(by far!).At least 3 guys in
each squad so equipped.Doggies had them too but very few sculpts ,metal or plastic,ever depict same.Can never have enough tommy guns/SMGs-no bayonet stud on 'em though.

What a shame that company went out of business. They had the best 1-32 vehicles and at such a great price. But the one thing in my mind that made them different were their 1-18th scale figures & vehicles. I could never walk into a Walmart or TRUs with out buying some. For an all thumbs guy like myself being able to pose their 1-18th figures was the best.

I just saw a few days ago on ebay 21st Century British paratroopers. I wasn't aware they did those either.

 

[Propane & Propane acs.]

Right when they went under these a number of lots of these figures showed up on ebay along with the British Airborne, If my memory serves me right they were sold off by former employees of the company since prototype runs of both had been run along with different schemes of existing vehicles (someone also sold resin prototypes of figures around this time as well). Good luck finding them now as I'm sure whoever bought them wants to keep them.

Yes and the WWII British Paratroopers never had original packaging ether!
Everyone out there knows the legendary story of the rare SUPER DEETAIL British Para's from the 70's.
Same sort of situation, worth $1000 a figure today!
