Macfarlane's upcoming military series...

I just got on the Macfarlane's website and l noticed the next military series # 7 lineup of well sculpted and detailed figurines. Below is the USAF Raptor pilot which, btw, is very nicely done! I'm still waiting to see what the final pre-pro looks like for their WWII line which includes a Tuskegee Airman. Will
post pictures when it's available.

Re: Macfarlane's upcoming military series...

I really hope to get some of these.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: Macfarlane's upcoming military series...

Anyone know if the helmet is correct for an F-22 jockey?

It is not the correct type for the F-22 Raptor...it shows an Gentex HGU-50/P helmet but with the newer "Combat Edge" system MBU-22/P oxygen mask.
Looks like MacFarlane didn't quite do it's diligent research on that one, but it still is a very cool figure, non the less!

Re: Macfarlane's upcoming military series...

It would be cool to see real aces like, Yeager, Anderson, Boyington, Bong, Foss, O'Hare, and so many others. I also hope that they do a modern girl fighter pilot. A friend of mine is a female fighter pilot.

Roger that! I hope we'll see some female jet pilots as well.
