I brought a few of these back in the day , all so under the name of informative I believe , they were very good value when the pound was up against the Dollar and shipping was reasonable . I felt a bit of 1/6th snobbery against them , as they were teased about the sculpts etc by some . I actually liked them from the start . The actual boxed figures were a bit toyish , but there was often bits way above the moulded plastic ammo pouches etc , which I still use in My modern NAM bashes today . The carded stuff that came out from them , was up to at least 21st`s offerings , and in many cases was up with other manufacturers , who were dribbling out the NAM figures . Of course once Hot Toys came in , and wiped the floor with such detailed figures ....and the inflated prices , us toy model collectors were going to struggle to keep up , both in detail and in finances . But I still like theses guys , and I swapped out some stuff to polish them up a little . I think they are crying out to be in their own comic ...maybe one day . Until then I hope you enjoy a quick look .

Great looking marines! The Formative International SOTW line had clunky figures and their early Velcro uniforms were cheap looking, but from about 2002, their carded sets were great! I’ve used the carded set items with several figures!

DML figure with DiD helmet; everything else is SOTW:

BBi figure in SOTW set:

Great looking marines. I saw International in stores at one point, but they didn't interest me. I guess I should
have given them another look, or at least kept looking. Found out later they had some nice vehicles.

I like the marines have different head sculpts. Some interesting expressions. One even appears to have the
"thousand yard stare" or at least a scared/surprised look.

I think the line was at some point carried in Kmart but I only saw the box figures at KB toys toward the end. They were blowing them out for about seven or eight dollars. I never saw the carded sets anywhere except online.
