The dynamism of these figures is terrific if Master Box can actually pull it off in plastic.
These three sets are much edgier than the average figure set. The first two have one soldier each at the moment of being hit by enemy fire, and the third has two pairs of soldiers in hand-to-hand combat ("Brothers in Arms" "My Brother's Keeper" diorama titles?), the intimacy of which I've not seen anywhere else. Wonder if this is the beginning of a new trend and DML will follow suit?
I do wish that manufacturers wouldn't feel obligated to include an officer figure in so many sets, as the first two here. Gives the impression that every combat unit had a 1 to 4 officer compliment on the front line. At least these two actually look like they're taking part in the action and are not just creeping around giving orders.
