The auction is here and the images are below.

Now if only he’d drop the price on that Resolute Baroness…      Thanks to Ricardogasjr of HissTank.com for the intel.

There are some part swaps and paint alterations, but some interesting stuff to see, for sure.  I love the Grand Slam with the different lower legs, and the AVAC with the Resolute Trooper arms.  Some neat stuff mixed up here…

The fact that he has more than 10 available for the Resolute Baroness makes me feel a bit better about the possibility of seeing some of these figures down the road, but time will tell.  Check out the images mirrored below.

Thanks to Smokescreen from One-18thToys.com for the info.

Check out the auction here, and check the mirrored images below.
