bbi introduces a new 1/6 scale replica of a Green Beret to its Elite Force action figure line. The 12-inch military figure replicates the highly specialized military personnel who are likely "players" fighting for America's freedom in the war on terrorism. The Green Berets are part of the Army Special Forces who are trained for extended operations in extremely remote and hostile territory. Part of the U.S. Special Operations forces, this branch of the military's elite soldiers are extemely skilled. After being the "chosen ones" to make it to Army Ranger (a special elite force in itself), the truly gifted and intelligent ones move up the the Green Berets.

As with the entire bbi Elite Force line, quality is of the highest calibre and collectors will especially appreciate fully articulated bodies as well as the faithfully reproduced details including current issue uniforms and accessories.

Green Berets In Afghanistan

The Green Berets have been assigned to train and advise Northern Alliance forces fighting the Taliban. More educated than their Ranger brethren, Green Berets often work with foreign governments and rebel groups conducting long-range surveillance and intelligence missions. Special Forces soldiers will hide behind enemy lines for days or weeks observing enemy movements and reporting back through whisper microphones. The Green Berets learn have learned the language and dialects of Afghanistan and have immersed themselves in the history and culture of this land. A Geen Beret can be awakened from a dead sleep and ordered to draw a freelhand map of the country he is in and label every city, river and mountain range. The Green Berets are used for a variety of missions such as unconventional
warfare, special reconnaissance and counter terrorism.
