I previously purchased and painted the Mars NVA. I don't know if I'll purchase the South Vietnamese troops. They're not the best sculpted figures. What do you think?

Is that a machine gun or a leaf blower...?

I can't get too enthusiastic about them, mainly because the weapons look so clunky...I can only judge from pictures I've seen, but it seems like the Mars figures have actually declined slightly in quality with each release...
I will be getting the TSSD Marines though, I wonder if any new releases from them are planned...

I wonder too if the Marxman business will continue under the auspices of the Stengel family (I assume everyone who follows plastic figures knows John Sr passed away last fall), I remember reading he was working on more VN figures...I hope his son has an interest in carrying on the legacy...
