Yes you can. I asked this specifically, and MJ said it wasn't a problem, as long as they have a US address to ship to.

These are my notes as I took them down during the event:
New exclusives from Convention - Blue WWII German - White Panzergrenadier (Winter) Re-do of original colors with new tech abilities (aka Panzergrenadier and new contractor ops camo legs) for full bodies of older paint apps like Desert, Urban, etc. WWII stretch goal that never got shown - Russian Female Sniper - Pilots (U.S. was all that was shown) MJ says reads all emails asking for figures, and demand for both Vietnam and more WWII running high, so the Vietnam KS will have some WWII figures in stretch goals. Not sure "which" ones though at this time. KS to be in late January/February time frame to launch. Vietnam Kickstarter (not sure the base launch set) - US Army Infantryman - US Marine - Bare arms and sleeve arms for figure - Special Forces aka Green Berets - Tiger Stripe. - US Navy Seal - US Army LRRP - Viet Cong - black pajamas - North Vietnamese Army Soldier - Tan fatigues - US Air Crew/Air Cavalry - think Wild Bill and Door Gunner figures for Huey, nod to Wild Bill and Apocalypse now cowboy hat - US Army Nurse - Think show China Beach, MASH style ULTRA (increased articulation) Non-modular, sculpted on pouches, etc. New chest articulation in Ultra figures, new upper torso will also fit on older legs/waist. Additional thigh and ankle articulation. Better wrist articulation. Softer material in middle of chest that allows you to compress or expand it a bit in poses. Think shrinking together a bit if holding a pistol, and expanding a little like your arms are out in a hulk rage pose.Lots of extra articulation to be able to get into any pose. New Heads Dutch - with and without facial hair, sunglasses Detailed African American head - with and without facial hair Bald guy with beard - now dubbed Russell Mohawk guy Kelly - think Magnum Force era KR style heads - Jack, Ken (eye patch) and Todd (U. Soldier) New female short hair style that can have helmet over it Female w/multiple hair choices Dillon - aka Carl WRATH No tank top picture was shown, but showed mock up of bare chest (under Wrath plans), and bare arms (under Vietnam KS). Shorts, bare legs with boots. Possible Scuba sculpting and gear. Nothing else shown but this is going to be a catch all for more sci-fi and mission specific stuff, like helmets, or villain looking stuff. Lastly, a current style MTF fatgues figure with new green camo aka Tiger stripe style will pop up sometime this fall/winter. Not in Kickstarter. That ended what I wrote down. Jason |

I am super excited over reading these notes and cannot wait to see either prototype images or concept digital mock up. Here were my guesses to this Kickstarter back on 01-10-2020. I nailed just about everything revealed at Mayhem except the Female-Valkyrie (China Beach) Army Nurse, which I am now going to predict is more of a fatigue, button-up shirt and pants i.e. a more "Lady Jaye" type uniform. Anyway, here were/are my predictions back in January of the upcoming Vietnam Kickstarter (bold text shows predictions that match info from the Mayhem reveal):
I'm kind of going off of the WW2 Kickstarter where there were 4 initial figures and then followed by 20 Unlocked Stretch Goals: 1. US Army Infantryman - green uniform, rolled-sleeves, w/ helmet & baseball cap 2. USMC Rifleman - green uniform, rolled-sleeves, w/ flak vest, helmet & 8-pt cover 3. US Army Ranger - camo uniform, long-sleeves, w/ black beret 4. NVA Soldier - green uniform [Mayhem says black uniform] Stretch Goals (and again, I'm being reasonable here and I kind of group the Stretch Goals together like MGR did with WW2 KS): 1. Viet Cong - grey pajamas [Mayhem doesn't specify color] 2. Viet Cong - tan & grey pajamas 3. ARVN (South) Soldier 4. ARVN (South) Officer - w/ maroon beret 5. US Army Special Forces - green uniform, w/ green beret, Swedish K 6. US Army LRRP - tiger-stripe camo uniform, rolled-sleeves, Boonie, Mike-One-Six [Mayhem says the Green Beret will be tiger-striped] 7. US Army Delta - giraffe camo uniform(?)[not sure if Delta had giraffe camo], jungle or Boonie hat. 8. USMC Machine Gunner - bare chest, criss-cross ammo belt, ammo belt on helmet, flak vest (I'm thinking kind of an "Animal Mother" look). 9. USMC RTO - green uniform, rolled-sleeves, radio pack & gear 10. USMC Force Recon - camo uniform, long-sleeves, Boonie, M16 Carbine 11. USMC Grenadier - African-American bare chest, flak vest, M79 12. Weapons Pack #1 13. US Navy Seal - bandana, camo uniform, long-sleeves 14. US Navy Corpsman - African-American, glasses head sculpt (see below), medical gear molded onto the helmet 15. US Helicopter Pilot - Calvary hat, yellow bandana, sunglasses w/ mustache head sculpt, green flight suit. [Can't wait to see how close my description is to MTF figure!] 16. US Helicopter Door Gunner - green uniform, flak vest, helmet 17. Australian SASR - camo uniform, face paint, camo beret 18. USMC Drill Instructor - "Smokey Bear" hat, green uniform, long-sleeve (thinking Gunnery Sgt. Hartman like figure) 19. Weapons Pack #2 20. Head Sculpt Assortment For the various head sculpts, I think given the Vietnam era, Marauder could really stand to use some sculpted-mustache head sculpts. So, I suggest at least these 4 different head sculpts (Caucasian and African-American) not counting the 2 maybe 3 Asian (Vietnamese) head sculpts: 1. Short hair w/ mustache 2. Military Glasses, I'm thinking sculpted frames but you can still see the eyes 3. Bald Head w/ mustache 4. Sunglasses w/ mustache And then for the Weapons Packs, I could see various weapons like a Swedish K, Mike-One-Six w/ Starlight Scope, M-60 w/ shoulder strap, M-79 "thumper," and even an extendable LAW rocket launcher. With these uniforms (OG-107 variants) in green and different camo patterns, along with gear & weapons with variant head sculpts (mustaches, glasses, etc.) Marauders would fill a tremendous gap of available MTF products for specific G.I.Joe-esque customs. Your thoughts? I am already putting money back on this Kickstarter. I'm going all-in on this one! Or as fIREHOSE said, "Ragin, Full On!" Jason Now before anyone questions the historical accuracy of the uniforms, I got my ideas from looking through Kevin Lyles's book "Vietnam: US Uniforms in Colour Photographs." Jason |

Hey Guys - I'm searching hard for a set of MTF Range Ops male trooper hands (don't need anything else - not even the forearms) - the ones painted brown with green armor pad pictured below.
If you had these and switched out for green rolled or cloth sleeves you might still have them as extras. Plenty to trade (please see pics in the BST link in my sig) if anyone can help out. Last edited by Dod Ear; 06-22-2021 at 08:27 AM.. |
