hi i was wondering if their was any 1/72 U.S special forces out on the market?
Punkrocker 69,
What era are you looking for?? ESCI used to make a set from the Vietnam War. They are hard to find though.

I was looking for something modern, but vietnam forces could be used as modern SEALS
Punkrocker 69,
Here are some sites to try:
www.hobbylinc.com
www.michtoy.com
www.squadron.com
If that doesnt work, try ebay. I know recently I saw the Speical Forces figures from Vietnam on there several times. Just punch in 1/72 in the search field and click on figures and scroll through them. If that fails, contact me via email. I have some of those figures that I might be able to part with. I dont know how many as I would have to check but they are like 15-20 years old. Hope that helps.

CMK makes a Vietnam LRRP (item number 72076) in 1/72 resin but, you have to buy the two helo figures that come with the LRRP. Beautiful figure, comes w/M-16 and large rucksack

The ESCI figs are that soft plastic. I have a hard time cleaning the flash and painting these.
Something to consider are 20mm wargame figures. Lots available of special forces. Check here

scroll down to Figures and pick from the 20mm column.
