A short review of the 32X infantry sets
The German : 7 sets : 5 boxed, 1 in two blisters, 1 with OPERATION COBRA BREAKOUT playset.
42 figures on the whole, great diversity of uniforms and units, their best figures production at this time.
Just , in the serie 5, a guy with helmet, who has a case of ammunition for MG34 in the right hand, but nothing in the left... and this 2 who look stupid.
The American : 4 sets, all boxed
24 very nice figures but lack of diversity: all the same uniform, of the same campaign. Also, there are 3 different which drinks with the gourd, but not only one with Colt 45... the right arm of this soldier: is deformed, too.
The British : 2 sets ,all boxed
10 nice figures, 2 less ( in the first serie, the guy on the ground _ bag seems an outgrowth on his back: _ and in the second, those with the BREN takes a twisted form ) and obvious lack of diversity: only rifles and Bren, no officer, not grenade launcher , no STEN...
The Italians 1 set in 2 blisters
6 very nice figures, waiting a second serie to put forth more judgement
The Japanese 1 boxed set
6 very nice figures, waiting a second serie to put forth more judgement
The Russians 1 boxed set
6 very nice figures, waiting a second serie to put forth more judgement
If you know other series please complet!

The Chinese 1 set in 2 blisters : Very very nice figures. They represent The Second Sino-Japanese War (July 7, 1937 to September 9, 1945) , I believe; a red sheet is tied at the handle of the machete in their back.

I hate to say it, but those Chinese look like the best 21C figures to date. I am going to have to locate some of these babies.

AMEN BROTHER!!! Without the Russians we could not have won the war, so the least we could do is give 'em some decent figures. I mean the Eastern Front battles were WAY larger than the Western Front ones, yet we get endless Americans but the Russians are still AWOL. Bit of resentment from the Cold War perhaps???ostketten wrote:I agree, they do look excellent, I only wish they had put the same effort in to some Russians.those Chinese look like the best 21C figures to date

That's true, the Russians made available were actually quite good, I just think they need to release some more.Jagdpanther wrote:I agree about the Chinese figures they do look the best. But the Russians they did where not to bad, but we could use more.
