HM Armed Forces
Guys did I see someone post something about a smaller range coming out?
Also is it me or do they seem to falling on their arse a bit. Don't get me wrong I like them and think they are fairly good quality but whenever I see them they never seem to be shifting.
I can't understand why they launched them in May? Surely October time for Christmas would have been better. Also think they could be a little cheaper.
However knowing the MOD like I do if there were any cock ups it was theirs.

Re: HM Armed Forces
Theyve had a good display in my tesco direct for a few weeks now, I personally like them and if I was into that scale id certainly get a few of them...
Not sure if all the free stuff / offers are a sign of bad sales or just an initial marketing push but would imagine if they werent selling in tesco they would have hidden them away like they do with the other stuff...
Would like to see a smaller 3 3/4" range as we'd get some pretty cool reaslitc vehicles for the likes of Z and SAS...

Yeah just got a feeling that in a month or 2 we will start to see them dropping the price mate.

Re: HM Armed Forces
I hope not as I think its a nice product from a british toy company and reminiscent of palitoy and the action man range in a way...

Re: HM Armed Forces
Like it! I was thinking of doing this with a rattler. I thought that if it went back to the original A-10 it could be a SWF original version before Cobra stole it.

Re: HM Armed Forces

Re: HM Armed Forces
i think that although the HM forces toys are great looking with the age of computers kids just aren't interested in using there imaginations in that way which is sad. They will appeal more to us as we're from the action figures era.

Re: HM Armed Forces
When I saw them on the news I wondered what scale they were. I have seen them over here they do look very good.

Re: HM Armed Forces
I got the basic Marine @ Asda this lunchtime, already on sale 1/2 price...
Like the look of him, but the articulation in the foot joint is weak & he soon falls over if stood up for any amount of time. Did I get a bad 'un?
