The UN & Kra'Vak figures were released in Australia at the same time
(about 1 week ago) - the IPW is an Advanced assault rifle (as far as I
can tell) and the Kra'Vak are "Predator" clones (and very good looking
figures at that) - they include a mix of rifles, missile launchers and
heavy weapons at the moment, and I am assured that there will be a great
many others soon.
