Cool enough figures, I just wish 21st would get the memo on getting the right ammo to the right weapon... The shoulder sachel is cool as a replacement on the GI, but the fact he still has M1 clips on his belt is dumb.
And not all Germans carried the same weapon... We need some variety, and removable ammo from our figures. That's the next evolution I think in 21st's trek to a perfect figure. They gotta get something going on there... i'd dig full removable web gear/suspenders/belts actually. That'd be slick.
The 2-packs look neat, and I'm pumped... Hope we see some Bulge figures too, as those just didn't come out in enough numbers. Especially if they do kitbashes in the winter white trousers/coats for winter infantry.

Now Hasbro, make us some Head Sculpt & Endor Uniform variations! The new Rebel Fleet Trooper gets the JJ Seal of Approval Though!

It's appearing more and more that there will be several dual packs availible once they come out. I'll have to raid the TRUs when this happens
As V2 said, they'd be a great army builder
Someday, I'll have a full battlefield of men and tanks and gun emplacements to re-enact some WWII battle. But think of the time involed to set up hunderds and hunderds of men. digging trenchs, making pill boxes, etc.
But hey, that's what we like to do right
Herr General




um..
I'm with JJ...I like how that US guy knows how to fit 30 round mags into his M1 pouches...

I haven't seen this much excitement about repainted figures, and now repackaged figures, since my ol' star wars collecting days. This is how it always starts, with the excitement of something new, and then when you start realizing you're buying the same figures over and over again, but in new colors and packages, you'll start to realize they got you!
Now if 21st would come on-line and say that by me buying all of these repainted figures is directly related to them producing the B-25. then sign me up for a case!

Repaints are not what everybody wants. But if I was working for 21stC, I would make sure a new product/packaging ideal contained something I knew would sells well. Look at the Otto figure - it has the great camo and it sell really well. Everywhere I look - this board, WM, TRU or Ebay the Otto is selling.

Savings on packaging, fewer parts (static arms left out), only needs a single peg at WM.. I'm thinking $8.99.

I dunno, I would think that with the increases in transporting goods, the price may be a bit higher. Not much, but WM sells the single figure at $4.97 Ea. and TRU $4.99, I would think the dual pack would go for $9.95 at WM and $9.99 at TRU

ps. Would be nice to see new German figures come out. Perhaps a Major and a new Sargent. Would also be nice to see a new perhaps 4 pack of figures as a tank crew( commander, Main gunner/loader, driver and MG gunner) for the Panzer IV, Tiger and upcoming Kongstiger
Be nice to see them dressed in the all black uniforms. Hey, if so, I could use 24 of these sets to fill out most of my Panzer IVs
