First, I have to say I absolutely love the figures and am very happy with them. However, I noticed that there are some errors with the weapons and gear:
Sgt. Shimik comes with a MG44 w/ bi-pod, Ammo, AK-47, K-Bar Knife, black Helmet, OD green Harness and a black Backpack. Originally, he came with a black submachine gun (Stlaker's MP-40), a black helmet, a black visor and a black backpack. He is missing a Black Visor and an MP-40 and should not have a MG44 w/ bi-pod. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sgt. Topson came with a M16 w/ 40mm M203 grenade launcher, grey Harness, grey helmet and a grey Backpack. Originally, he came with a black rifle (M-16), grey backpack, a grey helmet, and a black phone/remote. He is missing a phone/remote. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sgt. Redmack came with a M16, MP5 green Harness, brown Helmet, Clear Visor and a green Backpack. Originally, he came with a black machine gun (M60) with bipod, a brown helmet, and a brown backpack. He is missing a Rock n Roll's M60 with bi-pod and shoud not have a visor. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Conclusion, after doing research, it appears that Redmack received Topsons weapons and gear, while Shimik received Redmacks weapons and gear & Topson received Shimiks weapons and gear. This was intentional and not a mistake as the photo below shows the weapons and gear in the wrong hands as well:

No offense but uhm.. nitpicky...
How many of the 25th/ME came with incorrect weapons and accessories? Steeler comes to mind. Stalker is another. The Club is limited with what molds they can use/have access to. Instead of being nitpicky, be happy got those figures at all.

i care what accessories figures come with.. i find it very cheesy when one comes without his signiture gun or what not. i found it cheesy that dr. mindbender didnt come with his hand gun an generator pack. wtf is the point to having the laser pc to the generator an not the generator itself nor the hose that connects em?.. now i have to buy that shit on ebay to make it complete? top shelf garbage...
now i can't speak for these figures in this thread, cus i never heard of em till they were mentioned, but for the figures i do know/ or know of i feel it's garbage that when it is missing what he should have, an instead they throw whomevers gun in there instead.. it's like you are buying a duke figure vintage complete off ebay from me, but i dont throw in his signiture gun, an instead i gave you snake eyes' sword. what are you gonna say, an how are you gonna feel? an should i reply, well ya lucky ya even got the figure? you were expecting him to have his signiture acc, an there fore so were we.. i just think it's cheesy for a big ass toy company to do a jip job.. that's all.

Here is correct version of their gear and weapons using the 25th/ME items (Shimik's helmet should be black and Redmack's M60 should have a bi-pod, but
I could not find it):

the only POSSIBLE Reason i can think of is whatever reason/excuse they gave for not being able to call glenda/pilot scarlett glenda and give her blonde hair. thats the only thing i can think of. Not really a big deal, just do what i did and switch the weapons......blamo problem solved. Though I can understand the ireas if they're gonna release something they SHOULD, in theory...take the time to research it, but like Troynos said im just happy these even saw the light of day...especially after the Glenda Debacle.

Yeah, that Glenda thing is idiotic. They could have easily named here Glenda.
