RE: SF Figures

I think we've got Scandinavians - as far as the insert to my GZG catalog

sez.  The NAC has some beret-wearing troops - could be used for
SpecForces. 
 I'd like to see more 'Low Intensity' type troops: SWAT (SMGs/Shotguns, 
partial armor, helmets, facemasks, the usual police gadgets - guy with a

battering ram, gas grenade launcher, etc); terrorists/gang members -
both 
Redneck and Street-Gang types with a mix of weapons - mostly pistols
(not 
many pistol-armed figs so far); some 'Suits' guys in suits with pistols,

SMGs, that sort of thing.

Here is another question. Given the general interest in Spec Ops
evidenced by many on the list (okay, maybe I'm imagining this...),
has anyone thought of crafting some special spec ops figs for each
nation? I know a lot of the time, the SF guys will be hard to tell
from the regs by looking, but I'm thinking of the guys with silenced
carbines and SMGs or the like, or other specialized weapons systems.
It would be kind of cool to start a line like the 'Elite' line
(SF-25E if we needed a designator) that featured such forces (drop
troops, spec ops, airborne, LRRPs, SEALS, and the like).

Of course, a Minor Powers and Allies line has almost already been
started with Dutch, NI, Mercs, etc. Now all we need are some Ghurkas,
some Scots, some Scandinavians (equipped for artic combat), etc.

The nice thing about crafting figures is once you have the sculpting
and the molds done, you can reintroduce them or restock them on an
as-needed basis (assuming you own int prop rights to them...). Which
is pretty darn great for us buyers.....
