I got this set a few weeks ago, it is a nice change from the usual boring cartoon characters and you can make some cool little scenes with them. I agree about the hands and the Garand looks like a shotgun and I had to use a Sharpie to make the muzzle of the Thompson black but those are minor complaints considering the coolness factor.

The guy with the Thompson reminds me of Lt. Speirs from Band of Brothers. I wonder if he's about to offer the Germans some Cigarettes?

That set has been out for a few months, but I have to agree it is one of the more creative figure sets to come out in 1:32. Prisoners make for some interesting dio opportunities. The quality is exceptional, but I'm not too wild about the "Quasimoto" like German figure with the huge hands. The other two German and the US figures are great in my opinion!

BTW, you may also want to check out the US 82nd Airborne Figure set that comes in the same assortment as the POW set. while most of the figures are the same old types, there are two new ones in the new sculpting style: a wounded soldier and a medic.

No...he'd have a Thompson and be in the process of unloading it.

Speirs is the grinning guy by Mr. Paddle-Hans.
