Marauders stuff is top qaulity, in some cases better than Hasbro's.

And a lot better than the warped rubber guns of the World Peackeeper range the only gun I like of theirs is the bazooka because they actually used plastic on it

I was most disappointed with the weapons from Hasbro's Indy line..I can understand using soft plastic for the AK's bayonet, but the whole weapon? It's shame 'cause it looked like good sculpt & paint job in the photo's..

My indy pistol was banded to his hand as now has a permanent bend in the barrel ! perhaps hot water may help .......

although it may come in handy for shooting round corners ?

like in that movie ! ........ when they shoot around corners !

I've ordered from Marauders for years, and would recommend his weapons (of mass distraction) to anyone.
he has flat rate postage, a freebie (you can specify which one when you email him),
great selection of weaposn which are crafted to perfection.
the plastic is solid.
He is great to deal with, really professional, and always keeps the customer as a priority.

I have now armed my armies with his weapons.
You can also get a great selection of the World Peacekeepers accessories without ending up with tons of the figures if you were to buy them in the shops.


There is one minor issue, and that's the width of the gun grips which varies considerably, but I guess it reflects who the guns were originally designed for.
For example some have very thick handles which only Valor vs Venom figs can take, whilst others have pin thin ones which are better for 82-85 figures.
In series 1 there is also an M16 which appears to have a scale issue (too small), along with the berets from a later series.

All in All, one of the best independent Joe suppliers! :-)

I've ordered many times too.
The berets fit nicely with vintage AF figures...

There were problems getting them right that is why they turned out small.

I got some Cobra troopers that were armed with Marauders AK47 (folding stock type), M203 Combi and Mp5k. The MP5 is now in the hands of one of my Z troopers and looks great. I plan to get some more eventually, Shot guns, 9mm Brownings, MP5's... All brilliant with any of the Palitoy figures so far.

What did you get Andy?
