MK35 has released five new figures onto the market covering German forces of World War Two in a very unusual scale.

Good looking figures all the same. I am not too concerned about mixing scales within a reasonable ratio. 1/43 is 11& bigger than 1/48 which converts a 5'8" man into a 6'3" man. That's noticeable yet plausible. So long as the weapons and equipment are the same scale it works. See the difference in these Fallschirm:

I find MK35 a weird company. Their figures are poorly packed with quite poor artwork, reminicent of something that was common in the 70s ... in other words a marketing miss ... because beyond this, a lot of their figures are fantastic. Bought quite a few recently at a nice price as many go by them and are attracted to the better marketed figures. I think if they put a little more effort into the product they could be a serious contender. The figures I bought are right up there with anything all the current major figure producers are doing. Unfortunately their packaging and exposure ... 101 marketing ... let them down (in my opinion).
Id like to see them doing well, but I wonder would those that collect finished models/collectable, be really interested in glueing and painting figures to go with them?
