Found these this week. I really like the Soldier and was lucky to land a Taylor. These are real nice.

Why no bandolier ?

These are great! I have these, too! When I first bought them, I was totally thrilled to get a Mego-style Taylor figure in particular and really loved it. I pulled both of them out of the package and they are part of my permanently displayed collection. (Well, in an Ikea glass case hidden in a closet - at my wife's insistence - but displayed nonetheless.) But as the years have passed, I have cast an increasingly critical eye toward the oddly fuzzy material that his ANSA suit is made from. That said, I still think the head sculps on both figures are awesome!

Dang, you scored 4 of the 8" Soldier(s) and Taylor, plus the smaller scale Soldier? Great score for sure.

i agree with you, I was disappointed they didn't make a bandolier for him. At least that's something that's easily remedied by shopping either the Dr. Mego or CTVT website.

I also agree with Dan2Dan about the fuzzy fabric on Taylor's suit-The heavy black stitching is also a bit of a let down. And the Soldier's shirt & pants shouldn't have been shiny either.

Yep, I find that the sculps are great on these. Adds lots to any POTA display, the soldiers look amazing.

Hell, just happy to have more option on this line. Read that options are availble to change the Taylor suit. Dr Mego might start getting orders from me again. Bought from him way back in the begining...

In regard to the Soldier, I forgot to say that I do like the rifle-I wish Mego had designed something like that rather than using the old Addar "APES" model kits design...
