Warriors did make a Chechen(sp) rebel fighter figure here recently.
Looks pretty good too, saw one in one of the local shops here in the
Wash. D.C. area.

Yeah, it seems to be that the resin figure folks just aren't interested
in modern stuff for the most part. for plasitc figures though (whihc
might be slighlty OT) ICM seems to be going all out for modern stuff, at
least for the Chechen(sp) and Afghan conflicts. They're not resin but
good figures for styrene production...and the price is pretty good too,
considering you can get sets which include some vehicles usually for the
price of the vehicle by itself.
