All of this. There's chicken-winging it, and then there's whatever the hell that Marauder figure is doing.

24K+ production between all types, but the point stands, Japan was definitely tail-end Charlie when it came to SMGs. Battle rifles were king for all combatants, but SMGs and assault rifles work better for toys. All the figures have been shown with pistol grip hands, but rifle hands as an "extra"...

A damn sight better than 21st Century's, at any rate. It doesn't look like any of these are going to shoulder rifles worth a damn, but what can you do? SMGs and assault rifles for everyone!

They've obviously produced them, it's just a matter of when will retailers get them.

All SW figures are short compared to practically everything else. These are supposed to be 1:18, and using 7' as a starting point, these should be over 4.5" tall. It looks like it would tower over even Hercules.

I'm sure someone on HT is planning to slap a Valkyrie head on one of these German bucks.

That head sculpt looks suspiciously ethnic! Actually, it has a vague resemblance to Schwarzenegger.

Ha, nah. The way it's situated isn't wrong, per se. I think it's kind of cool they've got an assault frame set-up. I can't tell if the A-bag is underneath the zelt, but it's not really going to matter.

I won't be replacing 21st's Ardennes-era stahlhelm from the looks of it. It might just be me, but parts of the kit looks too large. The e-tool looks fine, as do the pouches and rolled zeltbahn. The mess kit, canteen and maybe gas mask canister. Eh, something I'd have to have in-hand to compare...

Probably.

Lame. A modular weapon that makes sense and they don't do it.

Can't wait to see what doesn't make the cut, weapons-wise. They've got such a hard-on for modular hijinks, they ought to do an M1919A4 that converts to an A6.

Looks alright. I imagine I'll be able to swap those gaiter legs onto a Vietnam figure down the road. Looks like the bayonet scabbard works. Helmet looks a bit large, but that's the hazard that comes with removable head gear. Let's see the FJ....

Aliexpress. One of the knock off companies (Sluban, I think) has done a modular night club, complete with Michael Jackson impersonator.

We can hope! I can make passable aircrew if they do helmets and proper vests. Fuck, can you imagine all the head-swapped LRRP Snake Eyeses and Stalkers that'll be incoming?

Fuck, Vietnam gets me hard. It sounds like the Germans are gonna be scrubbed of any kind of insignia. Looks like I'm gonna have to brush up on fine detail painting.

There were a lot more magazine-fed weapons utilized in WWII than you imagine, and I'm not talking obscure shit. Even the Garand en-blocs, and all the bolt actions used stripper clips, those all went in pouches. They're not gonna make those functioning, I'm not sweating that. Wish we had a firm...

Fine detail, really, though I might be more forgiving with that given my intent to use these parts for Acid Rain projects. Granted, WWII pouches don't lend themselves to being given this treatment, or at least I hope not. https://www.marauderinc.com/product-p/mtf-t1105.htm When you make...

Saw the Brits at Walmart the other day. The water-cooled was pretty tempting.
