Can't say that I am overly impressed with these as the faces seem very weak and the scale of some elements seem off.

The Brits faces are OK - maybe a more subtle paint job is needed - but the ROC crew - well let's be blunt they don't look Chinese to me!

I would like to see an image of them unpainted. Note sure if it is the paint, but all the figures seem to have portions off on some parts.

All that I can say is that they're far better than I could ever sculpt; that being said these definitely aren't up to par for modern offerings. I can think of other better-looking figures; their faces look like caricatures to me and I've got better things to do than wholesale-replace all the heads.

Sorry, but these look really poor; I am sure that the head set requires a harness on the Commander's chest (I appreciate that the modeller would have to add his own scale wires). Proportions look a little iffy and as Frank identifies, there's not much point to the figures if you have to replace the heads. The beret cap badges are way too large.

Shame, we always need good and interesting figures,but if you really want to populate a Korean Centurion etc then consider the excellent Ultracast range, especially those in the 44 pat tank suits.
