To be honest, they look very disappointing. The MG teams look good though

I agree it looks like a disappointing effort from Zvezda but nice figures just not as well sculpted as I have come to expect from them. (If Tanks come with than I like it better)

It is wargame. Imho it is hard base for the paper color flags.

They would appear to have been designed originally for a playset, they have pegs in the bases, somewhat like the Arcane Legions figures - if you check out the link below there are some pictures :

Agreed. But it will never end I think until all possible positions of the human form have been completely copied 100 times by the different makers in 100 different styles. In hard green plastic, soft red plastic, blue jelly. In winter, spring, summer and autumn uniforms. 1938, 39, 40 , 41 etc, with or without hats/ helmets, fat, tall, thin, at work, rest and play. Smoking, none smoking, farting, none farting. :roll:

I dont think the sculpting is bad, its the poses that arent nice at all. The riflemen arent even looking down their rifle sights!!!. That being said the mg teams do like very nice. Hoping they arent indicitive of the figures slated for the international release.

I think they aint too bad. It certainly will complement existing figures. I do agree with most of you. The MG teams are really cool. The engineers and mortar teams are also lovely. I read in their website that this set is supposed to be released soon. I did not know that they were to come with the magazines and games.

Nevertheless I would not mind buying these figures.
