    I would still like to see you manufacture the OG-107 uniform. It is, sadly, the most OVERLOOKED uniform in 1/6 scale history. To this day NO ONE makes a good 1/6 scale replica of this uniform. Yet it remains as THE longest used single uniform in American military history. It was worn by ALL branches of the United States military service from the Korean War up to the 1980's. It was also worn, and in some cases still is, by many of our allies. I served with the US Marines for 6 1/2 years and am a Vietnam Veteran, and have never owned or worn a pair of BDU's. Yet EVERY major manufacture of 1/6 scale products thinks they were the only uniform ever worn. In truth, the BDU's were worn way less, and for a much shorter period of time. Please give some serious consideration to this much worn but seriously overlooked uniform. I think it would go a long way to fill a huge gap in 1/6 scale collecting.

    Totally second this request. Along with early Marine sateen uniforms too. Lets not ignore the early war period.

    We will be producing this uniform but we're waiting on our 1/6 figure which now has some serious questions due to some major disagreements with the factory that was charged with making it. They wanted 100% payment for everything, in advance and we were only willing to pay 50% in advance and 50% upon approval at completion of the production run; any mistakes would be on their time. This is what they originally agreed to now they decided to change their minds. Since we've paid for the molds we'll be transferring them to another facility to have them re-tested. Anyway, any and all new uniforms are on hold for now.

    Glad to hear it about the OG107 sateens. To get around this to this point, I created a USMC DI in winter sateens w/field jacket & gloves to hide the unsat shirt. Came out pretty well, I think, but I'd prefer not having to be so creative.

    PS - Don't forget the Army ballcap & especially a GOOD USMC sateen cover.
