The gray version of Battlefield now comes with red-painted exposed bricks and brown wood trim:
Still only 3 figures (down from 6 before 2016), but all the swag is the same. I think I might like this better than the gray-accented version from prior years. I actually picked up one of the gray-accented versions last year on Black Friday for $24, but haven't gotten around to opening it yet. I might try to exchange it for this newer one, but am undecided. Oh, and is there an easy way to tighten up loose hip swivels? I grabbed one of those paratroopers (along with the horse and camel), and both his hips are pretty loose, so he doesn't stand unassisted very well. I'm not sure if it's worth trying to crack the pelvis, especially since the paratrooper doesn't have a screw in the back to disassemble the torso, so I'd have to crack the whole torso/head assembly, which seems like it has a high chance of going wrong. (The SWAT figures don't have screws either, which I always felt was odd considering they're otherwise built identical to "normal" figures, unlike the paratrooper/pilot, who at least has the excuse of the non-moving head.) Cool figure otherwise, though. Nice to see something that doesn't re-use the exact same build as nearly every other military figure, at least!

Hit up the Big Lots and they had one each of the camel and the horse. 5 bucks as stated before. I'll be posting up the figures with guns, vests and backpacks on my bst soon if anyone is interested.

That's what I would do, but I can't really get to the hip joints without cracking the torso (no screw on the paratrooper!) and the pelvis. I'd consider trying to wind some rubberbands into the hips, but I don't have anything that small. I wonder if I can get some dental rubberbands (like for braces) that would work.

Huh. So who or what is this Click N' Play? They've got a pretty fair selection of World Peacekeepers products under their brand. Not the A-10 Thunderbolt unfortunately, but the Black Hawk and some other items are reasonably priced.

They are not a brand they must be a reseller. Some of those are being sold by Amazon.com
