I have some of the last of them he made. They are Action Force/ Red Shadows versions of the BAT. From me direct they are $15 plus postage.

I have to charge more with ebay fees, but you can see them here;

Black Major makes some really groovy figures. Sadly they are typically too rich for my blood. I've tried to score them via Ebay, but have yet to win any auctions.

Forcefull1.com has a small handful of air troopers (looks like silver pads Grand Slam with the gas mask trooper head) some standard looking B.A.T.s and some desert B.A.T.s molded in tan.

I had some of his urban camo troopers that I wanted to build up as my Stinger drivers but they became too scarce and/or expensive to get as many as I needed. Went with Night Watch troopers instead. I got one of the air troopers from forcefull1 so I could make a silver pads Grand Slam (have you priced one of the actual Silver Pads GS lately?!?), the only thing I'm disappointed by is that he is straight arm. I also ordered some standard BATs, so I'll what they're like when I get them in hand.

I have some variations of the troopers and CGs. They are so cool.

It makes python patrol seem even stupider.

I just got a de aco from him and was VERY pleased! It was shipped super fast and the product was excellent quality. In this case paint would need to be very exact since it's yellow and silver on black. Also the cobra logo and chrome head I would think would be tricky. And I can say this sucker was top quality.

Is it straight arm?


Someday I'll buy something by the Black Major. Wish he was still making the Cobra blueshirt variations. Cuz I only discovered his work after he stopped making those. I wish I was a bigger fan of the BATs so I could get into his variations of them but I'm just not.

Check ebay for customs. Sometimes people will list them that way to get around the bootleg/knockoffs rules.

Yes, straight arm, which I can understand since the original was straight. But yeah, a swivel arm would be cool no doubt. Nonetheless, this sucker is VERY nice. I would really dig it if he would do a chrome glenda, and others like manleh, shimik, redmack, and topson. I would think those would be crazy popular, since the vintage are almost impossible to find, usually are in rough shape, and sell for hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Put the swivel arm on them so there's no question for those people worried they will be passed off as the originals. I would dig that.

Dang, that white mortal is sweet. Is the regular mortal his too, or the con version?
