Mine would definitely be more real-world and less propaganda joke.

Pretty good. Heads are a little on the caricatured side, and the straps and slings are a bit thick.

Still, good stuff.

Looks like it.

Dunno how well a zelt AND the gear is gonna work out, but I'm sho hoping it does. I got me some ideas all of a sudden.

I would replace the torso for a less detailed one thats skinny so, it would hopefully work. Or maybe sand down the stock torso...

And I got some FoV German heads ready for replacement along with some anklets and low boots!

How do these figures stack up to other companies figures? Say Indiana jones, Ultimate Soldier, and Bravo team figures.

The modern US forces were nice, but they are true 3 3/4" and dwarfed by any of the Joes. My only complaint on the US troops were the identical heads, huge weapons and the vest had a sticky/shiny thing going on that made it look like a toy. Figure construction and articulation is superb.

There was a lot of evolution from the first 21st Germans and the last, but these should be able to get more dynamic poses. The same will go for the Unimax. They won't touch either of those in the detail department, though.

Kind of wish these came with M39 tornister.

I would assume so. The figures Melvin has are just reproduction stuff right?

Hi,we noticed the forearms are not well made so need some DIY there. The final products will be the same as molds are fixed,sorry.

I'm gonna buy atleast 2 or 3 sets. Hope there's gonna be a bright future for this line, I really love WW2 stuffs. If we get more, I might give up GIJoe for this toyline.

Hope there's gonna be Americans, Brits, Japanese and Italians. And some generic looking resistance fighters wouldn't hurt. :)

Hello Melvin,

Is there a chance that you all will be making WW 1 figures for the upcoming 100 year anniversary of WW1 ?
