Not the newest recon ive ever scene on here
I had a set of these on my Birthday cake for about my 12th birthday (I am 41).
If you like them its worth noting that those 6 molds are avilable from several manufacturers in various forms.
The good news for you as you like them is that there is about 6 differant sets eg German, GIs, Japanese etc
Even better originally they did 4 or so differant heavy weapons sets as well as complimentary small vehicles.
I actually thought this was going to be about W Britains latest pewter British ww2 that are in my opinion excellant and really for the first time up with Conte and K&C.
W Britains soldiers have been poor for too long but someone has finally taken a solid grip on there product and I think they are on there way to regaining there former glory.

I don't collect 1:32 British soldiers anyway, but for $12 I think these are ok, they are as good or better than most of the 32X figures from 21st and FOV except some of the newer ones, which seem to be improving.

I have these guys too. Thet made sets of British, German, Japanese and U.S.
Over the years I've seen several different repaints, so they are available in different colors.
At $12 I always pick them up when a new color version pops up.
Back in the day they also made a mortar set and a German motorcycle with side car. I have the motor cycle and rider. I don't know what else they made. They show up on ebay every so often.

Ken Osen is doing Britians now, He was the guy who did all of Conte series one WWII, also the Old North West trading company.
if you ask me its a huge hole that nobody has attempted to fill. Plastic 1:32 or 1:48 figures like 21st FOV and britians. 21st releases are few and far between, FOV usually only with the armor. What we need is soome one who make figures and continues to make them. No matter what I buy armor, aircraft etc its still army guys to me! To my son I say lets play army guys! Hey 21st FOV its a b!tch to play army guys without army guys!
We need some new figure sets and some that stick around a while. I bet its been five years since 21st has done a set of Americans?? Sounds silly to me. They should be pumping out set after set, and some should be stocked all the time. IMHO! Guess I need a business loan and a plane tickett to china?
