Title: New Crimson soldiers bootlegs
Post by: martin-montreal on March 19, 2010, 10:55:00 PM
The Black Major is doing it again, now with Crimson guards (about all the colors). At least those are not 100% identical to the original.

I'm not a big fan of the 1985 Crimson guard mold. So it is not a big deal for me. I'm probably the only one that prefers the 2005 (removable helmet) mold  ;D

I like the blue one with the black facemask, and the white one with the Canadian Cobra logo. Those I'd like to get for sure. But they're all awesome looking!

These are my favourites.  I just sent him a message about these CG.  I will not buy many of them as i did with the ''bootleg troopers'' but i'm thinking to get some.  The white with Canadian logo (but he need a black mask), the desert one and the blue one are on my wishlist.  Maybe some red if the color is the same of the original.

I'm very impressed with his work.  I wonder if he has done figures from other contries?

Yeah, there is a version of a Crimson Guard with what I thought was a Hammer & Cycle design from the cold war era Soviet Union.

I've bought a few things from the Black Major and he has been decent enough to extend a good deal to me, but I can't meet the numbers he requires. If I make a purchase of 50 or more figures then I can get the Cobra Trooper figures he's been selling for $7.00 each.

Honestly, I'm not sure I want to be responsible for 2 figures for Bob, 4 figures for Greg, etc... but if someone wants to make an order for 10 figures or more (yes, they can be different colours) AND they plan to attend this years Canadian Joe convention then PM me.

The six choices I was give were the Canadian Trooper, Mountain trooper, Desert Trooper, Red Shadow trooper, Urban Trooper, and Black Legion figure.

It was a few weeks ago he extend this offer to me so I'm not sure what is left. The quality on these figures is very good. Not as good as Hasbro but better then Funskool. Sometimes the paint apps on the eyes is a bit off, but that's never bothered me.

Again, PM me. Don't post it here. If I get enough interest then we'll take it from there.

These fake troopers are factory made in China like the real Hasbro one.

Email him and ask for a set of 5 stingers for 50 bucks.  It's free shipping to Canada.  Don't wait for others to make up their minds.
