I received my figures in the mail today. They look even better in
person and are a spot on fit for 1:18 vehicles as drivers or passengers.

Instead of gluing them together, I wanted to maintain some level of
articulation so I used magnets instead. They turned out great.
Head and arm swaps take seconds and it's easy to make small adjustments to get
their hands in the right places on the steering wheel, their gear, or for the minor
seating differences between the WCs, Halftracks and jeeps from 21C, Gate or Maisto.
The magnets also allow their heads and torso's to turn for a decent level of posing.

See for yourself:

Got my figures from Weylen today, they are excellent, I'm going to have my custom painter do them for me ( My wife, she has done crafts for years and is really very good at figures ).

Guys don't miss out on these, they are very good.

I Picked up a set of these figures from Weylen and they are AMAZING. If anyone hasn't already, you should definitely pick up a set.

Thanks for offering these Weylen.
