There's a newish line of WWII figures in 1/18 scale--not GIJoe, but even
cooler, in my view. They're not as highly articulated as GIJoe, but they're
more realistic. They also have a few vehicles, including a tank and a
Mustang, both in 1/18 scale. Very nice, but more expensive per figure than
GIJoe was (though maybe not, when you adjust for inflation.)
I know many among us are opposed to military-style toys or toy weapons in
general, but even from a simply historical viewpoint these are some nice items!
Dave!
