Do these figures really exist?

In all the years I have been collecting I have never seen either of these figures available on cardback (except for the para with chute).

I think along with the Mountain & Artic figure on the same cardback, they had never been released.

I must admit, I can't recall ever seeing either on ebay either.

The scans of the Dutch Catalogue that are on the site DO NOT include these two figures as part of the line up http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/afonlin ... s-orig.htm
The Line up shows:
Ground Assault
Royal Marine
SAS
Mission Pilot
Night Attack
Helicopter Pilot
SAS Frogman
Mountain & Arctic (released version)
2 Para
Frogman
British Commando
Naval Assault

Interestingly the Desert Rat, Australian Jungle Fighter and German Trooper are also absent from this line up, perhaps they were dropped from the line up when the second batch were released?

This would explain the scarcity of these three figures.

I'll amend the pages for the deep sea diver and US Para ASAP.

steve, whats the figure with the smow mobile in the scan, I can't tell that well but it does not look like the Mountain and Artic figure released

I think its the prototype version of the Mountain and Arctic as shown on the original cardbacks
