How did I miss the debut of these beauties? Thanks to Flickr user FirstInfantry for point out that MMCB Custom Minifig Cloth Accessories is now making tents.

These Plain tents are similar to the LEGO official model but in a beautiful array of colours. As well, a medical tent with red cross and a camouflage version are also available. I have been impressed with the smaller accessories by MMCB but I am going to have to order a couple of tents when I get a chance.

Currently priced at (us)$2.50 ($3.50 for camo or medic versions) they seem like a very reasonable price compared to official tents on Bricklink which are currently running around the same price for the Dark Tan Indiana Jones version. Older tents in yellow and black are running over (us)$3 and (us)$7 each respectively.

The new Army Men sets based on Disney/Pixar's Toy Story movies provides some new options for BrickScouts equipment. The shirt looks very smart and the green backpack is a nice change of pace. As well there is a green walkie-talkie and binoculars!
