1/6 TRIVIAL

Rumors has it that SS-ERT loose items circulating in the market are rejects from the production run. Either that.... or the boxed release might not have been doing well considering this was the last 'military' themed release from the manufacturer.

Visual inspection of the items showed them to be serviceable & nothing much out of the ordinary. Only noticeable flaw would be the SS badge on the tac. vest which seemed upside down but after checking out a fully boxed figure at the local shop,they seemed to be the same, though it looked normal on the box-art.

Could it be some regulatory reasons (in the States) pertaining to products depicting law enforcement agencies' badges, insignias that caused the manufacturer to purposely render the badge the opposite way or really a case of screw ups during production but out with it anyway cause it's the last 'military' figure we're doing....

Irregardless, packaged at slightly less than US$30 it seemed like a reasonable deal. Quick bash in the works.... WATCH THIS SPACE.
