This little line looks interesting
Same scale and lots of detail, this seller has a few more in the same range.

Well obviously you have all the GI Joe toys to choose form, but otherwise there's Star Wars, Chap Mei and the Soldier Force stuff, to name but a few.

Well you could always do a Spartan APC using the same method you did with the Scimitar Louie
or maybe a running partner & do a 2nd Scimitar
Though you`ll find the Joe,PowerTeam,Corps,Chad Valley lines offer many possibilities & as always Louie,there are other brands out there just jump to mind when you see them (TrUs,Woolies,Big W etc).
Look forward to seeing what you conjour up though

I can't wait for the Indiana Jones line to hit the stores! Colonel Vogel is perfect for a basic Red Shadow!
