Kind of old news, but any news about 1:32 WWII excites me all the same.

Nicely sculpted figures, though I do have one criticism.
They could have mixed the poses up a little by including at least one kneeling pose and one prone figure. Everybody is ether standing or running.
Look for yourself.

No complaints here, I want them, I need them... :)
The burning question---will they ever be released...?

Don't get me wrong, I'll buy them too!
They are defiantly in the pipeline from what I heard. I hope?

:?: I have a feeling your not reading the comment I'm refering to.On "Stad's Stuff" website go to "Recent Comments" then "Dan Beidelschies".He says the US Marine figures are in transit.

They've embarked...?

HOLY !@#$%^!!!
They just announced they're also releasing JAPANESE and 1930's GANGSTER set!!?
I was wondering if they would do Japanese?!
You know guys, we can complain about the lack of 1:32 armour and aircraft,
but we have to be thankful for the consistent release of 1:32 WWII.
Even I have a hard time keeping up!

JAPANESE INF. - 12 figures in 6 poses

Just spoke to them today.
