I hope TSSD chooses wisely when it comes to the other 3 poses?
They always seem to drop the ball.
I love their stuff, but they frustrate me.

[jkinzel]

I just wish they(and other Companies) would get away from the trend on having figures standing on bases that look like Mini Mountains and use just a plain flat base or at least a base like on Beau's Confederates.

[plasticgeneral]

AGREED!
Hey, any of you guys? Send me an Email and I'll show you photos of an amazing way to standardize all your 1:32 figures by using FLAT black bases.

Plastic General, you say you love TSSD,s stuff, then you say they drop the ball. Doesn,t make much sense. If TSSD is always dropping the ball why are they the only company that consistantly produces plastic sets? Some people must like their product or else they couldn,t keep making sets. What about 27 to date.

I'm just happy someone is still offering new products. There hasn't been anything new from other plastic manufacturers in quite a while...

I buy ALL the TSSD WWII figures,
but sometimes I'm a little disappointed in their subject and pose making decisions.

Back when they did the "Winter Long Coat GI's" the hobby needed that subject covered!
A great chance to reenact the winter Americans defending the BULGE?!
It was their big chance to cover something really cool and needed.
They only gave us 4 poses that hardly covered the subject, but gave us yet MORE GI's! A subject that has been beaten to death!
A wasted opportunity in my opinion.

For the ADD-ON set of LONG COAT GERMANS, We really needed the obvious basics covered like PRONE poses, MORTAR TEAM or SENTRY w. DOG.
So far, we have two running guys? The first made sense the second was redundant.
They are nicely sculpted and I will buy them, I just wish whoever was in charge,
would plan things threw a little better.

Here is a new photo of the two remaining German poses #3 & #4.

I think the pose on the right is decent,
but the one with the Potato-Masher is quite lame and uninspired.

The set looks nice an the running poses are great (while it may seem redundant to have two poses running with them being armed differently you can pose them with the running mg gunner to have a machine gun crew moving to a new position.) The other two poses are a little lack luster but oh well. I dont have a problem with the posing on tssd's figures but do have a problem with the proportions on some of them. I personally think more gi's wouldn't be redundant, with conte coming back to life again one can hope he will not only do a re-release of the gi's from before but make more (and more Germans and possibly Japanese in the new style of course).
