To the right is the US Marine Soft Recon pack
that retails for $9.95 USD and comes with a
metal sprue of backpacks/gear in addition to the
four guys.
One of them is carrying a machinegun while the
other three are carrying rifles. Even without the
backpacks they are all carrying a large amount
of gear in pockets and pouches. They’d make
very good jungle-type warriors. Detail on these
guys was very good and their uniforms match
perfectly. The mold line did need to be filed,
but flash was at a minimum on them.
Our last group of fighting men is the US Marine
Corp Standard Fire Team (below-center) that has
a retail price of $8.95 USD. Yup, nine bucks for a
pack of four guys in different poses.
Flash was a bit more prominent on this group and
while their cleanup did take little longer it was not
terrible by any means.
These would definitely work great as front line fighters
and, like the other sets, all look uniform and are
definitely all part of the same unit. These four are all
wearing helmets with goggles and have copious
amounts of gear stuffed into pockets and pouches.
If you’re playing modern 28mm miniature battles, like
Dogs of War which I’ll try to get a look at soon, then
these guys should really be at the top of your list. If
not they are still usable in many other games. In a d20
Modern or in a Delta Green Call of
Cthulhu campaign they would make
great soldiers or even player characters.
I could even drop them into a game of
Traveller 20 as marines without ruffling
too many feathers. Still need more?
Ok, how about as alternate figures in a
Warzone Capitol army? Sir, yes, Sir!
You could even take a chance, a little
one, and use these figures for Imperial
Guard in Warhammer 40K, in
Necromunda as a new gang of soldiers
that got caught in a time/space warp or
even in VOID. There are not many
places that I can think of where these models would
show up and receive a groan. In fact, I’d expect quite
the opposite reaction to dropping them on the game
table.
You will have to spend a bit more time prepping these
guys before priming them as you can expect a bit more
flash to trim, but the overall high quality and attention
to detail that these figures poses really made the
cleanup time not bother me at all. You’ll also want to
be just a touch more careful around the barrels of their
guns as they are sculpted to scale and are not really
thick. If any of the figures have a weak point it’s here,
the gun barrels. I especially liked the less exaggerated
and more ‘normal’ look of the models. Now, I have
nothing against exaggerated stuff, in its place, and this
isn’t it. These guys look like human soldiers, just like
they are sup-posed to.
The prices are certainly right also. First, you’re getting
them for what turns out to be between $2.24 - $2.74
USD per figure and second you’re getting four different
guys in each pack. That is just superb!
