Here are a couple of shots of the figure a few hours after the first pic.

AHHHH! LOOK OUT! Theres a bunch of half naked Marines wearing jock straps, combat boots and bullet proof vests firing away outside!

Leave this figure alone, he's done, ready to hit the market. :)



Honestly, this set is going to be well recieved.

Great work!!! I could only wish to be able to sculpt, I have a hard enough time making a snowman with my daughter. I do have one small niggle though (its the small arms instructor in me) I noticed that this troopers knees arent bent. Even if he is firing from a vehicle or behind a wall etc his knees should be bent with the weight on his front leg. Like I said its a small PP of mine, keep up the great work.

Like to suggest you make the 40mm holders seprate so he can be made a regular rifleman...and make some heads with the goggles covered up with a sock!!
Can't wait for their release!!

Yes, some of the figures will have the goggles with cover, the grenade thing being seperate is not really do-able. When sculpting the piece, you either have to sculpt the pant leg compressed with the form fitting pouch, or uncompressed without it. If you try to make it optional, it would not look right for either.

You could always carve it off and resculpt the details.

David that makes sense...one more idea make one of the soldiers a left hand shooter...Btw this guy reminds me of the marine on pg 48,49 of Concords special ops #26 standing next to the hummer.

I read that right with the first post, we have noticed quite a few "South Paws" in the reference photos. We will definately make future figures incorporating this.

The hcm Sherman updates are slowly coming along, I hope to release the "COED" set in the next 2-3 weeks.
