World War 2 time! A good set but a little bit too fiddly

I have a horrible addiction to WWII airborne figures in axis and allies so I will buy these. That being said they are far from perfect. The helmets are a total miss IMO. Oddly shaped and the chin straps are laughably huge. I don't love the clunky weapon straps and the ribbed webgear straps. I'm not sure where they came up with that design for the webgear straps as I've never seen any actual gear that resembles that. Im also not a fan of the giant watch on every figure. So that's the bad.
Now the good. I feel these uniforms are second to only Dragons static airborne figures. The removable gear is always a plus. Added joint at the ankle is nice. Headsculpts look good. Overall weathering is good.
I would put these behind Dragons and BBIs(second series) paras. Ahead of any of 21C or BBI first paras with attached chutes.
Nice to see some new figures.
