I need six identical grenades to finish my Steamroller. I'm looking for ones with those "pineapple" lines so that rules out the ones from Marauder and Brokenarrow. I was thinking of using and making a mold out of green stuff from the one on 25th Duke's webgear. The problem is that they only face one direction. On my custom, I need half to face one way and the other half to face the other (I mean the pin and that handle thing). I've heard of a BBI WII weapon set that has some "pineapple"'grenades but I don't want to pay $12 plus for it on eBay. So now I ask you customizing experts, what should I do?

Would the Frag-vipers grenades work ? The BBI ones are good too , slightly small , I bought a whole bunch of those BBI sets at TOYS R US when they had them .

I'm guessing the Frag Vipers ones will work but it would be expensive to get a bunch of those. Which BBI pack has the proper grenades and where would I be able to get a set?

The Bbi ones are properly scaled, so they'll seem small to a predominately Joe collector. You want the Mk2 fragmentation grenades packed with any of their WWII figures or this set looks to have the number you need:
Elite Force 1:18 scale WW2 accessories set #1 If your hesitant to have all that WWII stuff i'd be glad to take it off your hands. ;) Conversely, i should have a Frag Viper pack and 3 grenades (don't quote me, as i may have traded it). |

You can get a Funskool Metal Head pretty cheap, and he actually comes with epoxy and a mold to make your own grenades. I'm not sure how to scale they are, but it's a thought.

Are all of the Funskool cards printed in English? I would have assumed they would be in whatever the native tounge of India might be. I like the clarification printed on the bottom left corner, I myself fell somewhat "*Make Believe and Harmless".

Thanks all. I found that WW2 pack at BBTS for $5. Koingstiger, I'll contact you about the rest of the weapons.

Yeah, they're all in English, and the filecards are hilarious and ridiculous.
