I have ordered the new figure USM001, by the way i hope in the future we'll see the Marines as seen in "The Wind and the Lion"..early 20th century..they could get well with a "Boxer Rebellion" range full of various soldiers of many nationalities...

Check out Wilson Edward's Boxer Rebellion Line--has several of the US Marines from that era.
