This is a cash cow for VTS due to the reuse of so many parts from Rico.

I'd rather be team building Colonial Marines, but these are nice too.

A lot more people would team build Colonial Marines. And there's a lot more Marines to be had. The 6 that HT did plus another 3-4 characters easy.
 
Yeah I can't imagine there's a huge number of Starship Troopers collectors out there, but I guess who knows?

I remember seeing all the artwork on the wall of the Starship Troopers Art Department on the Sony lot back in the day and seeing all these huge insects and thinking "this movie can't possibly be about space marines shooting up giant bugs". :lol
 
I wish they'd done a standard release like last time because I've been giving the bases to the Afrika Korps.

Squashed bugs for everyone now.

I like these uniforms for their Firefly connection too, not that I'd ever repaint them.

There's something very ARK II about them.

Let's see who goes back that far?

I remember seeing stills, but they reminded me more of Space 1999.





Going back further, Heinlein's novel came out in 1959 and the themes pretty much carried through to the film as dystopian irony, like Robocop.


If I could manage to separate my familiarity with the figures from their film source, they'd be candidates for a Star Wars '70s/'80s expanded universe planetary defence force in the Outer Rim.
 
I always get that Ark II mixed up with the Damnation Alley vehicle. Ark II is more Delta Force I guess. I don't remember anything about it other than that vehicle. Man, the future before Star Wars. :lol

Anyway, its more of a feel than those suits actually appearing in either show/movie. Very 70's "Defense Force" as you say.

I liked Damnation Alley.

I discovered that one via Hawkwind.

 
Wow - a Michael Ironside! That’s brilliant, I know there are a bunch of re-uses from Rico but I’m excited about this. I thought Rico was a one and done, but this opens up possibilities! Ok so now I’m hoping for at least a Diz - a nice little threesome on the shelf (not that sort 👀)…
 
I guess sales were reasonably good, which should bode well for the continuation of the line. Head sculpt looks nothing like Ironside, but passable with the helmet on. Also the robotic arm is a nice touch. I may pick this up, but would really like to see Diz. May also pick up another Trooper at some point to bash a Watkins.
 
I'll most likely pick this one up, too.

I agree that the sculpt isn't perfect but I immediately knew who they were trying to capture. Rico's sculpt wasn't exactly perfect, either.

Hey, we need Carmen too :)

I had no idea those uniforms got so much re-use!
