They are more or less pre-posed, however they do have some articulation. The best thing about them is the asscecories that come with them. The Grenadier figs come with free MP40s that have removable clips. Simply amazing. 8)

I wish dragon would make more 1:18 WW II figs. They are my favorite. I would like to see some German paratroopers (FJ) come out next.

I think you will really like the Dragon figures, I know I do, I have several of the German sets as well as a couple of American sets, (ie. Europe/Italy). They make great riders on tanks and other armored vehicles, and they pretty much come completely apart, so you can "mix-and-match" to your hearts content, plus the weapons and kit (equipment) are considered by many to be the best available (no more droopy barrels...lol) I've gotten some good deals on these from Rezzed collectibles ebay store, and rez is a great guy to deal with. I didn't even know the Cat sold those, but I'll check it out. BC has always given me great service too, the smaller stuff like this usually ships to me by priority mail and I get it fast. Another outfit you may want to consider is Action Collector, they have a nice lineup of both the Dragon action 18 series and the 1/35 scale figures. I've dealt with them many times and can highly recommend them. 8)
