- Hello All! It is crazy how time flies -- Wildcard, 19:36:24 08/17/22 Wed (047-042-186-084.res.spectrum.com/47.42.186.84)
It seems just like yesterday that I was making runs to Toys R Us to find deals on 21st century finds. That was over 20 years ago! Over the past 20-15 years my collection was boxed in totes and in the attic. I met a girl, got married, worked a Sheriff patrol job and retired about 3 years ago. I now have a 6 year old and 4 year old, both boys. Yeah I got a late start, I’m 54, but it is great being able to be there for them every day. My 6 year old has spent the last two years peeking in the attic and asking to play with the vast array of vehicles and figures visible. We tried a Barbie pt cruiser and Power team figure resulting a broken door so, uh No. sorry bud your too small. But he is six now and I made the decision to bring the crews back out. Wow the old memories began flooding back. Both boys were in hog heaven driving their own Stuart around. I was like a mother goose hanging over them. These are fragile boys, be gentle, DON’T force ANYTHING!. I’m a nervous wreck but the look on their faces is priceless. Other toys are cool, excavators, hot wheels, monster trucks, Tonkas, But there is something special about 1/6th scale figures. Its magical. I am working with them on a more GI Joe adventure team plot than WW2 shoot em up. We explored the living room and captured a rare crocodile and built a zoo pen for it. They were enthralled. They have played for hours with the figures and vehicles. Im happy to say that a new generation is excited as I was to interact with my action figures. They are even interested in doing photo stories. They were totally into some of the old 12 inch figure stories on you tube. I’m taking them back through some of the old photo stories I posted here way back when. Thank you GL for keeping this site going all these years. Sharp Salute.

- Revisting 21st Century Toys Unreleased Product List ( From Pistol Pete HOH Archive) -- Hammerhead HOH, 15:15:22 09/21/22 Wed (NoHost/158.51.81.20)
So the link here to Pistol Pete's old site is not working. But fortunately, the Archive.org version is still functional. ( Pete, if you are still out there, hope you are doing well brother)
http://web.archive.org/web/20050408181252/http://www.pistolpetechecklist.com/unreleased.html
Villains Machine Gun Set
Villains Shotgun Set 2
Modern Foreign Submachine Guns Set
VC/ NVA Weapon Set 2
Mt. Eagles Basecamp Tent
Something I find interesting about TUS is even after 20+ years, there are still items that were made decades ago that are still mostly inaccessible to the average collector.
For example, the basic SKS rifle is still quite rare. The carded VC set back in the old days was 14.99 plus tax at Toys R Us ( Anyone remember going on trips to the toy store and not knowing what you'd find? Like a treasure hunt...)
Since that time, VTS Toys made a version for George Miller's Fury Road and TB League made a version, but both were kind of rare and expensive to get loose. There wasn't really enough of a demand for Vietnam era figures to have companies keep supporting the lines.
For widespread availability and cost, the old TUS SKS rifle still stands up today. I can say the same for the Street Sweeper shotguns from the Villains Shotgun set, I think only one other brand made a Street Sweeper ( It just didn't fit into the basic military figure sets that most people see and are released)
The 44 caliber AutoMag pistol from Auz and Taz is another rare find that no one else made.
That was the beauty of Ultimate Soldier. You always had a chance to find something no one else would make or odds are there would be a low chance of anyone else making it, and for price/access/availability, you might have a good chance to find it. Certain current 3D Printing capability has changed that part of the game somewhat, but it's nice to know that some of the pieces from sets we loved, still hold high value and relevance even today.
I personally would have loved to see what TUS would have done with the never released Villains Machine Gun Set. Maybe we would have gotten Russian or German or other foreign modern machine guns that no one else would create or the odds were too low for you to have a chance to get one at a good price.
I also would have loved that basic modern tent that was unreleased. And I know if TUS had survived longer, we might have gotten a drone set. An explosives/demolitions/EOD set like C4, etc, etc. Things that are mind numbingly hard to find even today.
I'm sure this topic has been covered before, but as time goes on, it becomes more clear on what we won't likely get in the current 1/6th releases in terms of cool and interesting bits and weapons.
What would all of you have wanted the most on that unreleased list?

- Rare Carded TUS Uniform/Weapons Sets -- Hammerhead HOH, 07:26:19 09/16/22 Fri (NoHost/158.51.81.20)
Hello,
Not been here in a long time. Hope everyone is well. Best wishes to all from the old days, given the world is in a pandemic and such.
Delta Force Chung from the One Sixth Warriors forum, old Warrior Forum, Sandbox newsgroups and Sideshow Freaks has passed away. He was a well known bulk buyer/case buyer and would keep things MIB and MOMC.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/394244707230
https://www.ebay.com/itm/394244711606
^
So some of his stuff was put up for auction. There's an old TUS VC Main Force carded set, in good condition, in there, and I haven't seen one of those in years. They were even hard to find on the shelf at Toys R Us locations back in the old days. There's the Villain's Shotgun Set and even a Modern Foreign Weapon Set #3 ( which was the one with the pistols) that was also hard to find on shelves.
These are not my auctions, not affiliated with the seller, not affiliated with DFC nor his estate, just thought this would be an interesting heads up because pure MOMC TUS doesn't pop up too often anymore. Especially some of the rarer finds.
You can click the seller's "See Other Items" to see what other TUS stuff he has up for sale/bid.
Nice to see Zman and Graeylin still around.
Green Leader, thanks for keeping this site up for all this time. You kept this site going all by yourself and did as much or more for Ultimate Soldier as anyone out there.

Ok troops, time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field, so let's get right to it!
Back for today is our old friend Zman with more of his cool 1/6th setups and figures. This time, some Old West Gamblers, including a craps table, blackjack table, and poker table. These were actually three separate photo shoots, but I figured all these pretty much went together, and it made for a bigger overall site update, so I just combined them so you guys would have plenty of photos to look at today. Of course, Zman knocks it out of the park again with all kinds of great details and super cool looking custom figures. So definitely don't miss this one! Special thanks to Zman for sending these terrific photos in and sharing them with all of us. - Sharp Salute!

Well guys, I guess that does it for today. I'll get the next set up when I get it! So until then... take it lite men!

Ok troops, my apologies again for such a long wait, but time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. So let's not waste anymore time at all and get right to it!
Returning for today is our old friend Hogie309 with the next installment from his Marwencol series. This one is entitled "Sarah's Hat". If you remember from past episodes, Sarah is the British police officer who is visiting Marwencol and got captured by a gang of baddies and then was later rescused. Well, it seems she lost her hat in the process, and that is where this episode begins... sort of. It looks like things are going to get strange in Marwencol again. I don't really want to give any more of the photo shoot away here, so I'll leave it at that. But I will say once again, another terrific batch of photos from our old friend with some great looking figures. You won't want to miss it! Special thanks to Hogie309 for sending this cool new shoot in and sharing it with us.

Well guys, I guess that does it for today. It looks like the weather is finally starting to turn warm around here, so hopefully I can get out and take some photos this coming week. Like I said before, if anyone has anything to send in or wanting to get some pictures up, any old time you want to send them in is fine with me. Hopefully the next site update will be a lot sooner then the last one. So until then... take it lite men!
Sharp Salute!

Ok troops, time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. So let's not waste anymore time and get right to it!
Up for today, our friend and fellow trooper, D.B. Croker, is back with another one of his cool photographs. Actually there are three photos in this set but they are all the same photo. It's entitled "Pre-Patriotic War Portraits" and he took a shot of a couple of his WWII era Russian soldiers and the first photo is framed out like an old black & white photograph, the second is the centered black & white photo, and the last photo is the color photograph that the previous photos were made from - so you get to see his guys in color. They're looking pretty darn sharp too. So be sure to check this one out if you've got a minute. Real nice stuff again from DB. Special thanks to DB Croker for sending these in and sharing them with us. Sharp Salute!

Ok troops, finally time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. Again, my sincerest apologies for the very long delay, but these past couple months have been pretty crazy in the 1/1 world. Anyway, I finally found the time to set up another photo shoot and post it, so let's get right to it then!
Returning for today is our old friend Hogie309 with another one of his cool Marwencol photo shoots. This one is a continuation of his current story about his British visitor and her abduction by villanous types. This one is a bit more "R" rated than we're used to seeing, though, so I would suggest keeping this away from any young ones. As always though, another batch of terrific photos from our old friend, no matter what the subject matter. So definitely be sure to check it out! Special thanks once again to Hogie309 for sending this one in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

Well guys, I guess that does it for today. I'll get the next photo shoot up as soon as I can, I think we have a Zman or two left. But if any of you guys have been itching to take some photos lately, be sure to send them on in and I'll get to them as soon as I can. Until then... take it lite men.

- Offer for the hobbyists still here -- graeylin, 12:36:19 11/20/21 Sat (NoHost/172.56.27.227)
I hit another birthday, and realize I have way too much stuff in my life... including parts and pieces of 1/6th paraphernalia, that I will never use. I could toss it all away, but before I do, I thought I would see if people here could use it. I choose here, because this is where I was when I started collecting all these things, and I also know the quality of people here, and that most of us are more excited to have something fun to play with, than to just collect the latest, hottest, must have toy.
I'm not able to list and post pictures of everything... I tried that earlier this year, and it about drove me nuts. And, doing that attracts the kind of people I don't want to trade with, or deal with... the "Is that a Hot Toys Exclusive, AR-15, or the Dragon Mega Pack AR-15?"... I don't know, it's a toy gun that looks like an AR 15. You want it, or not?
What I propose, that might be fun... I'll mention some things I have, and if you can use them, you can have them. All I ask is two things: You pay for shipping (paypal, or gift certificates to one of three hobby stores or send cash), and that you swear, on your Hall of Honor, that you will use the items, and not turn around and sell them again for profit (Yup, that happened earlier this year too. Things I practically gave away to a "fellow collector" I see on Facebook within a day of the package arriving at his house... from him.)
Also, you can post some general want list items, and I'll see if I have them. OR maybe someone else does... who knows. I have nothing expensive or hot, but I do have figures, uniforms, parts and pieces, and tons of extra things that I collected to potentially make dioramas out of. Honestly, I'd rather it go to a good home and be used, than spend another 10 years sitting in a box in my closet.
For instance, somewhere I collected to tent quarters. Maybe Cotswold. Maybe home-made. Not sure. Green cloth, and not perfectly scale (which is what leads me to believe it was modeled on old Hasbro stuff or home made). I am never ever going to use these... but maybe you have some dowel rods, and want to make a bivouac or something. Need some camo netting for your tank? Got some. Need some sniper camo (from BBI sniper)? Got it. Need some figures? Got em.
Mostly, what I want is to get some things gone... and not spend hours looking through parts bins for "do you have the Luger from the Dragon Ivan figure?"... Yes, I have a Luger. Who the heck knows where it comes from. You want a luger? I got it. You want THAT Luger? No.
Of course, if you live near Central Florida, you could arrange to pick stuff up, and save shipping... cause I have a Willy's Jeep that I don't need, and the top of the Reichstag in resin that I want gone, and a Remote Controlled Stuart (I think I still have that), and some other big stuff.
What do you think? Could this work? Could we all post some ideas, things we are still looking for, things we would take a risk to pay for shipping, and hope to get some fun toys?

I bought a few Ultimate Soldiers used, also new in boxes. I like the joints; they are much better than my old GI Joes. But, I am unsure about sturdiness, seeing wrists and assuming ankles are entirely plastic. Worried that attempt to remove boots might damage ankles.
Anyway, I really do not know where to start!
Is 21st Century Toys still in business?
Also bought 1 Dragon figure. Joints appear to have same features.

I wonder how this guy got his hands on these? I know that the artist was selling these as prints online but these are supposedly the original art works.
Way to rich for my blood but cool nonetheless.
I figured you guys might like to take a peek at them for old times' sake anyway.

My Wife , and I were talking about all the things that we have to be Thankful for , and on my list of things to Thankful for are GL , and this MB . So SHARP SALUTE to you Sir !!!! I might not of posted anything in a very long time but I stop by on a regular basis to see what's going on . Hogie's mastery of Dioramas , figure posing , etc. just keeps getting better , and better . And a lot of the other Troops aren't that far behind him .
I've been reworking a lot of my old stuff , and coming up with new uses for old parts . I completely redid my tractor trailer rig , and my trailer is now over four feet long . I'm going to post some pics as soon as I can of it , and of the figures that I've redone .
Some of the other things that I'm Thankful for is living in this country of ours , she's not perfect , but she's helluva lot better than a lot of countries out there . My Wife , who's been my Rock through some damn hard time , my late Mother , who never gave up on me . And you guys .
I got into this Hobby of ours by accident literally , after a rollover accident with a backhoe left me hanging for a total of eight months recovery and two years before that waiting for proper medical treatment . It was a work related injury and work-mans comp wouldn't authorize the MRI,s and other treatment that I needed . If it wasn't for coming across the Joes and later the SAM's I would have no joke lost my mind .
I'm also Thankful , and grateful that our 1:1 G I Joes , and Janes have always been there for us . Always remember that EVERY day is Veterans Day , not just November 11th .
Speaking of that date My Families only for real War Hero was KIA three days after the Armistice was signed . He had been in France from 1914 onward first with the RED CROSS , and then he joined the US ARMY when we got involved . He was a Combat Medic who was killed by a German shell barrage along with his buddy , and the German Soldier that they were taking to an AID STATION . He bought his " Farm " three days after the Armistice was signed . He was KIA on November the 14th , 1918 .
There's an old Indian saying that as long as somebody remembers your name you never truly die . So this SHARP SALUTE is for you Great Uncle William . May you always be remembered for your courage , and for making the ultimate sacrifice .
And a SHARP SALUTE to you all as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok troops, time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. Just a short one for today, but 21st Century Toys shines in this one, so let's get right to it!
Up for today is our old friend Buzz, returning from far too long of a hiatis around here, with a few shots of his 21st Century Toys M5 light tank and crew. Buzz has cut the skirts off the sides and added a few accessories to the top, like crates and netting, and all three crewmen are Ultimate soldiers. In the last photo, he did a little tribute to Hogie's town of Marwencol and IrishSEAL13's town of Le'Morge by recreating one of the directional signs. Great stuff from Buzz here, so be sure to check these photos out! It's good to see our old friend Buzz back in action again around here. Looking forward to seeing more stuff from him in the future. Special thanks to Buzz for sending this cool set in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

Well guys, I guess that does it for today. I'll try to get something up in the next week or so, if I get some photos in, probably sooner. Until then... take it lite men.
Sharp Salute!
Oh yes - have a safe and happy Halloween!

Ok troops, I'm a little behind schedule again, but time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. So let's get right to it!
Returning for today is our old friend Zman once again, with another of his cool and unique projects. This time, a 19th Century Western Town Doctor. As always, another great looking figure from our old friend and a terrific diorama filled with all those cool little details he manages to put together for these. Miniature medical tools, medicines, even a little anatomy book with photos. Of course, a couple cowboys to work on as patients as well. So definitely don't miss this one. Very cool stuff from our friend, without a doubt. Special thanks to Zman for sending this terrific project in and sharing it with us. - Sharp Salute!

Sharp Salute!
Oh yes - have a safe and happy Halloween!

Ok troops - time for another cool site update. A little behind schedule, so let's get right to it!
Returning for today is our old friend Hogie309 with the next installment of his ongoing Marwencol saga. If you remember from the last episode, his bad guys had captured Captain Hogencamp's British police officer friend and were holding her to lure Captain Hogencamp out into the open. With that said, I have to say that it's another terrific episode from our old friend here, filled with some great photos and setups. It's a little on the PG13 side with some adult language, so be forewarned if you're viewing this with any small ones (who can read). So if you're been looking forward to the next Marwencol episode like I have, then you won't want to miss this one! Special thanks to Hogie309 for sending this cool shoot in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

Well guys, I guess that does it for today. I'll see you all back here for the next site update, which will probably be like I said, in about a week's time. So until then... take it lite men.

Ok troops - time for another cool site update. Another super unique one tonight, so let's get right to it!
Back with another one of his cool and unique photo shoots is our old friend Zman. This is another diorama of those "Worst jobs of the Victorian Era"... Toshers. It seems like these guys went down into the sewer and mucked through the garbage looking for valuables. Once again, some outstanding diorama work here from Zman, and great looking figures too. As always, Zman never fails to amaze with his eye for detail and mind for creativity. So be sure to check this one out. Special thanks to Zman for sending this one in and sharing it with us! Sharp Salute!

Well guys, I guess that does it for today. I'll sure try to get these things up a little more quickly from now on, even though the world isn't back to normal, but learning how to manage it better now. I'll try to get one up at least once a week from now on. We're not done here yet! So until then... take it lite men.

Hi guys! Just wanted to ask you all if anyone like myself has changed what they have been collecting. For me money has been a little tight and things are just so far out of my price range. I have been getting some great deals from my comic book store.They have been getting a while bunch of the 13in DC direct figures,and after i bought my Sideshow Batman he has been giving me deals on them. So now im collecting super heroes. Anybody else change?

Ok troops - once again, my sincerest apologies for the long delay between updates. Hopefully something will change in that area soon. I finally got some time though, so as always - it's time for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. So let's not waste anymore time and get right to it!
Returning for today is our old friend Hogie309 with the next installment of his Marwencol saga. If you remember his last episode, he had a friend visit Marwencol from England, a female police officer to be exact. Well, it didn't take her long to get into some Marwencol trouble :) I included Hogie's text at the beginning so you don't need me to explain it to you here - but once again, as always, some outstanding photos from our old friend, and some terrific detailed setups and poses. It definitely leaves you hanging on a little bit of a cliffhanger though, so if you're like me, you'll be anxious to see what happens next. For now though, be sure to check out this cool new episode entitled "Sarah's First Day in Marwencol". Special thanks to Hogie309 for sending in another brilliant episode for us to enjoy! Sharp Salute!

Well guys, I guess that does it for today. I'll try my hardest to get something else up before the end of this week. Don't hold me to it though, but I'll definitely give it my best shot. Hopefully I can find the time to get some photos of some my stuff taken too, because I definitely have some stuff to show you as well. Anyway, see you back here as soon as possible. Until then... take it lite men.
Sharp Salute!

Ok troops - time once again for another cool site update from our fellow men in the field. My apologies again for such a long delay. I know it's got to be annoying because it's sure annoying me. But hopefully stuff will get straightened out soon and we can get back to regular updates. It's been far too long! Anyway, let's get right to today's stuff because it's pretty cool, I thought!
Returning for today is our old friend Zman once again with another one of his cool and unique projects. This one is some Old West Fire Fighters! No actual fire fighting action in this one, but definitely more of Zman's great detailed setup work featuring his fire fighters in what I assume is their small fire station. I love those 1/6th posters he put on the wall of his dio. Of course, all his fire fighters look great too. So definitely be sure to check this one out if you have a few moments to spare! Absolutely worth a peek in my opinion. Zman's stuff is always so cool. Special thanks to Zman for sending another terrific project in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

Returning for today is our old friend Hogie309 with another of his super cool Marwencol photo shoots. It seems Captain Hogencamp made a friend in England and she happened to be a female police officer. So he invited her to Marwencol for a little vacation! No bullets flying in this one, but as always Hogie has some great photos of his townspeople and the newly reconstructed town of Marwencol. Great stuff for sure! I have no doubt you will enjoy it! So be sure to check these out! Special thanks to Hogie309 for sending these cool shots in and sharing them with us. Sharp Salute!

Up for today is our old friend Zman, back with another one of his cool and unique projects. This one is entitled "Wild West Starbucks". And it's pretty much what you're thinking - a coffee shop in the Wild West. Once again, some great looking figures from Zman alongside his terrific diorama work with all the nifty little details he puts in these things. I don't know where he finds all these unique 1/6th scale items or if he's just making them himself! They sure do make for some interesting 1/6 eye candy. So definitely be sure to check out this new one from Zman - you won't want to miss it! Special thanks to Zman for sending this great shoot in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

Returning for today is our old friend Hogie309 with another one of his outstanding photo shoots. This one is entitled "Christmas in Marwencol". I know we're a couple months past Christmas here but that makes no difference because the new Marwencol is looking awesome all lit up at Christmastime in the snow. Like I told Hogie, it makes me want to go back and do Christmas all over again - since I've been so busy my Christmas tree is still up in the living room LOL. So if you'd like to get the holiday spirit back then definitely don't miss this awesome photo shoot from our old friend! Special thanks to Hogie309 for sending this one in and sharing it with us.

Ok troops, first my sincerest apologies for the long hiatis. Unfortunately, it couldn't be helped. I'm glad to be back in action though. So let's get right to another cool site update from our fellow men in the field.
For the first site update of the year, our old friend Zman returns with another of his cool and unique diorama setups. This one is called "The Ole Fishing Story". Here we have a guy telling the fish and game warden "I got one THIS BIG!". Of course, as always, Zman's attention to detail is fantastic. He's got everything in this one including the ol' tom cat hanging around. So definitely be sure to check this one out! Special thanks to Zman for sending in another of his cool dioramas and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

Ok troops, again - sorry for the delay but more great stuff from our fellow men in the field. So let's get right to it!
Returning for today after much too long of a hiatus is our old friend Steve Wood with a cool, customized vehicle for us. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like he took the old Hasbro Chenoweth FAV and massively modified it by making it a two seater instead of three and adding new fenders and the works to it. I'm sure you guys who are into the modern stuff will really get a kick out of this one. Steve did a great job on it. It looks much more sleek and speedy than the original. So be sure to go take a peek at it! Special thanks to Steve Wood for sending this cool customized vehicle in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

Ok troops, once again, I'm sorry for the agonizingly long wait. But finally some new stuff for us all today, so let's get right to it!
Returning for today is our old friend Hogie309 with his new installment of "The P-40 Pilot: Flying Tiger Down." If you remember from the last episodes, Hogencamp parachuted into what I think was China, was captured by the Japanese, and some Marines came to save him, but were quickly overrun by the Japanese and captured as well. Then Hogie's women fighters showed up to take on the Japanese. This is the result of their battle. As always, more excellent photos frm our old friend. You definitely won't want to miss this one, so be sure to check it out! Special thanks to Hogie309 for sending this great shoot in and sharing it with us. Sharp Salute!

- Central Florida? -- Graeylin, 08:46:43 01/02/21 Sat (NoHost/172.58.175.78)
If anyone is in driving distance of central florida, and is looking for some bigger items... I have an M5 Stuart (slightly modified into an IJA captured Stuart), and a Remote Controlled M5 Stuart available. Also, a Hasbro 40mm Anti-aircraft gun, a Willy's Jeep (Dragon, I believe, but I could be wrong), and lots of various diorama parts and pieces (the top of the Reichstag, for example). I do not guarantee every item to be mint and have all the original pieces, these were loved and played with (the Jeep, in fact, was done up and won a diorama contest at Weekend of Heroes). But, I am not selling them as MIB either, I am happy to make some great deals, to empty my storage space of things. I would much prefer that these go to someone who would love to add them to their play toys, and enjoy them, than someone looking to speculate and resell.
Email me...
