However, I bought them when they were first released way back in the 1990's and they were the only SWAT troopers available back then. Nowadays there is a far greater choice of figures and most of them are better than the Foundry figures reviewed here. You have to remember that I've been collecting figures for well over 30 years! Despite their obvious failings, I still maintain a fondness for Foundry's Street Violence range. By the way, I do have SWAT Troopers from other companies and they will get reviewed in time.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-48134867431315464722012-02-09T10:39:28.788+00:002012-02-09T10:39:28.788+00:00Thanks, Joe.

The female percentage does get a bit over the top at this point I think. <br />The giant with the ram is probably my favourite figure from these sets. The other figures are all mostly too close to other sculpts to be a favourite for me. I do really prefer all the gangsta guns turned upright however.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01340813263749275644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-16085941253883610022012-02-08T11:15:51.812+00:002012-02-08T11:15:51.812+00:00They're just such characterful figures, great ...They're just such characterful figures, great work by foundry and you obviously my friend.....The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.com
