Medicom plans on following up the S.A.S. release with:

• GIGN Elite French Counter-Terrorist Unit
• GSG-9 The German Response To Terrorism
• COBRA The Counter Terrorist Operator

Medicom has displayed the Special Force prototypes at various toy-oriented conventions and the Tokyo Toy Show 2000. Reaction to the figures has been astounding, with dealers, toy magazines and fans calling these new figures the greatest of their kind.

An official North American distributor has not yet been decided, but Medicom plans to actively market the line in the U.S.
