Can anyone give a quick review of these 5 figures? To my eye from what I've seen they look a bit super hero-ish in proportion with oversized weapons. Is that a fair assessment?

They look good to me with weapons the right side.
They do look a bit too healthy .
Stalin liked to starve his people.

I don't have any of these Russians but do have some of the German joytoy figures and I like them.
The German figures are not "super hero-ish" at all. I'm wondering if it could be the closeup picture they
used that gives this impression of the soviet troops and their weapons.

interesting, thanks guys. On BIg Bad Toy Store site it says they are 4.13 inches tall...which is pretty big, almost 6' 3" in height. That's kinda large, more like 1/17 scale.
BTW, how are Marauder's figures? They look quite good, albeit pricey...

I just took the Joytoy German Spring camo figures and the German officer in black tunic and stood them next 21st figures and some FOV Germans
and the Joytoy figures fit right in! If anything they are slimmer /thin (physical appearance) in comparison to the other brands.
Also their articulation is far superior as well.
If they are referring to just the 1:18 WWII Soviet Inf. I don't know.
I don't have any Marauder figures, they didn't impress me and hat and helmet sculpts (on the Germans), did come close for me.

Thanks Tman. That's a surprise. The Joy Toy figures are listed as 4.13 inches tall, so i figured they would be the larger of the two brands
