Anybody here collect 12 Inch Military Figures ?

[Soundwave Viper]

I'm wondering if there's anyone here that collects 12 Figures like , Ultimate Soldier, Toy Soldier, Ace, BBI, Hot Toys, and Dragon or GI Joe ? ... I'm asking cause I need to know how the Weapons from BBI,Ace ,Hot Toys and Dragon compare to Ultimate Soldier weapons ? like if I put an M-16 of one brand beside the other ,would there be a big difference ?...I don't collect those types of figures , but I do collect the weapons , but I've never bought any BBI or Dragon.....so if anyone knows or can point me to a good message board where I can find out, I'd appreciate it....


Thanks

Ace, Dragon, Hot Toys, Dragon, Toy Soldier weapons pretty much are in scale with one another and are the best as far as realism and quality goes, but are little more expensive, but worh the price. BBI is good too, just not as good as the others. Ultimate Soldier is decent, but not as real looking and is the cheaper of the bunch and you can find them at Wal-Mart and TRU, where as the others your gonna have to get online. Hasbro(GI Joe) is at the bottom, as far as realism & quality go.

And I want to make sure that all the weapons look nice beside each other ....you know what I mean ?

Yeah, besides the Joe weapons, any of the others would display nicely for your set-up. Check out some customs I did, all the fig's use weapons from BBI, Dragon, Ultimate Soldier, GI Joe, Callous Soldiers, Power Team Elite, and some others I can't remember.
