Are those cricket paddles on their backs?

I'd much rather see a set of British troops. Why do we get Italians and Chinese before the Brits???

Maybe next time we will get a set of ninjas.

I'm gonna have to agree with jrs. Figarti sets bombed and I have a sinking feeling the chinese ones will too. Not that they're not cool or refreshing after long years of only German and American but I think that the general public will not buy these and even collectors would probaly not buy more than two. The poses aren't that great except for the running guy he's kinda cool, but the others are pretty standard and boring. I definently think 21st could do better broadenng their already established ETO figures and make some more cool poses of the German or Americans instead of making totally new figs. Now I don't want to be a total wet blanket over this news but I think that as nice as these are, 21st is making a BIG mistake.

Yes FOV does a great T34 at $55. No where near the $15 21st can do! Kind of hard to stock up at $55 a piece.

They are $36 at SmallJoes and really nice (had one for a while).

I don't mind the rant, I'm just adding my perspective. I like the variety. Also, let's not forget all the US and German figs that have filled out the playsets over the last few years.

EDIT - Even better, $30!

And the only cure... is more 1/32 cowbell!

Schizuki, I could not have said it better! I think everyone else missed it.

I love that skit! Ha, good stuff. Neat figs, but they do seem really out of context. But I do agree, maybe along with the picture of Mao and the red book, it comes with a free uniform so YOU too can be just like the everyone else...
