any Unimax rep on that booth was available to answer questions?

or were they in the back drinkin' latte?

None of us are latte drinkers----that I know of.

Hit us up with your questions here, we'll answer them best we can.

No pics of the LAV? Your 1/32 piece was one of my favorites and I can't wait to see it in 1/18. Will we get desert one to match our Bradleys and M1s? BBI's color was an awful match. When will this stuff start hitting Target's shelves? I am in the process of replacing my Joes with your modern figures, but I have to say it is difficult when there are only 5 or 6 heads on your guys.

1-Will the 1/48 aircraft line feature retractable landing gear, as well as jets?

2-Any plans for an F-14 of any kind on the horizon?

Non-Latte Drinking Unimax/ FOV Rep Person:

The other manufacturers within the 1:18 scale "business" have become very segregated from their fans as of late. I'm sure this is due to economic troubles and the various rumors of 21st Century's demise. There is simply no "good" or "new" news to talk about for some companies.

There are some of us fans that believe Unimax may be one of the few companies able to deliver new and original 1:18 scale products until the economy recovers in a few years. With distribution through retail avenues such as Target, Unimax/ FOV is in a very good position as compared to any other 1:18 scale manufacturer to become one of the leaders in the "field.
Couple this with Unimax's reputation for quality and durable toys, and a highly sought after military figure line, I believe this to be true.

Despite these advantages, we've seen the disappearance of the first original piece from Unimax/ FOV that no other company has attempted before, the 1:18 Stryker IFV. With other problems in the field, such as the aforementioned rumored demise of 21st Century, this gave fans the impression that the hobby may truly be dead in the water. Could you comment on this and give some reassurance that FOV is not going away?

With communication being so essential in a business like this because of the long development and production times associated with these items, would it be possible for the Unimax/ FOV team to stay in regular contact with its fans through websites like Toyark?

Thanks in advance.

Seriously, these pics are killing me. Do we have a release date on the Delta guys? I've bought around 20 of the Army drivers and troops and need the new stuff like I need my Starbucks.

All the Targets around me have almost run out of the current FOV figures. I did buy a BUNCH myself, but they are not being restocked very well.
