Great releases! Thanks for posting Jim

The Tusk kit looks amazing but I've too many Abrams on my shelves already but I'll certainly be buying a few sets of these figures

..I'm still hoping Legend might do a Frag 7 M1114 sometime in the future (hint hint Legend), I'm sure Hummer builders will agree

The TUSK II set does look amazing. The M134 is a nice addition as well.

Damn I knew those figure we're going to be released, so happy to see them! They look stunning, as does the TUSK II, just a damn shame this comes out after I spent may hours scratchbuilding all my own gunners and commanders shields for a TUSK I

Wait until you see what else is right around the corner. An SF dude isn't simply going to stand there firing the Mini-gun off the pedestal...

As for the the M1114 with FRAG, well, ya gots to read my posts more often.

Drawer? Dude, I'm hiring a concrete cutter to cut a rectangle out of my garage floor so I can start storing stuff UNDER my house. Ostensibly it's so I can change my own oil.

I have 2 older Dragon M1's (Marine Bagdad and the mine plowed versions) and I think I will Tusk them. Just gotta find a replacement for those drive sprockets without having to buy a whole kit just to waste!!!! Maybe its time to invest in a Dremel again.....So much plastic, so little time....

Not so. TUSK II is used on M1A1s as well, not just on M1A2 SEPs as the promo pics have it on.

The kit is due out very soon, as are two more HMMWV variants. But the kits coming later this year are the real surprises.

I have to say I really hope one of those surprises is a Special forces GMV ECV variant. Never the less the Frag kit looks sweet.

Also, that model pictured, is that not Frag 5? I though the Frag 6/7 was the M1151

Hey if Legend wants to follow up the TUSK II set with a conversion kit for the Assault Breacher Vehicle I think that would be totally acceptable.
