I cant wait to see them done, they look great, cant we contact the maker and ask them to do these guys in red? if we can get them to do them in red as an exclusive, a simple head swap later by us would be easier and Id buy a ton of these guys!
I tried this already Jamar. There is no way on the pack to identify where they were manufactured, so I emailed the seller when i bought them, asking for the supplier details, but never got a response (obviously, as I got them from SmallJoes it will have been that Corey chap getting the email, so I doubt he'd have any useful info anyway). So I drew a blank on them really.
Cast or painted in red they would be fantastic, and as you say, a simple headswap, of even some custom tooled helmets from Broken Arrow if they were willing to do us some, and you have an instant Shadow army.

Those black SS uniforms are slightly wrong for Shadows, they have the 4 button jackets on, not the high collar style worn by the army (and SS during the war). but the greatcoats are top notch!

I agree Ross - they are hard to pose - struggle to get them to hold guns etc!

for more on how Stormie and the Muton come to Hazzard County, watch for future posts! (Heaven help us!!!)
and there I was thinking that this was too serious a post for you

Muton learned the hard way this morning that they are never as nice the following day once the drink's worn off:-
"What have I done????"
"Don't fancy yours much! He He!!!"
