BLI figures

BLI is coming out with HO figures. Looks like two of them are albinos.

Those are the two you put in the cab if you're staging a cornfield meet on your layout. [:)] (meaning they looked scared to death.)

I saw them in the catalogue--the figures look kind of formal, don't they? I like my crews kind of hanging out of the cab windows (at least their elbows).

I wonder if they'll come with sound? [:O]

Good Goobly!

Just my opinion but BLI needs to stick with sound equipped engines!

I think I'll still go for Preiser figures!

Well they don't look bad to me, I use Bowser figures in pretty much all my engines but I might try some of these. Better than the undersize crewmen in Spectrum engines!!

Yeesh.

Presier or Woodland scenics for me. At least these figures are big and manly. Not underweight or light like some others I have seen.
