Scale75 lists two new WWII German paratroopers on its 1/35 line of figures.
5. Fallschirmjäger Division (SW35-040)
This figure represents a Jäger from the 5th Paratrooper Division during the battle that pitted them against the U.S. Army in the Ardennes region, Belgium, in December 1944 and January 1945. He wears a jump smock with splinter pattern camouflage and the standard equipment of the German airborne forces. It's worth highlighting the STG-44 assault rifle and the classic paratrooper helmet, as well as the noticeable protection against the cold, especially relevant in the Ardennes campaign.

3. Fallschirmjäger Division (SW35-041)
This figure represents an Unteroffizier of the 3rd Paratrooper Division at the Battle of the Ardennes, during the winter of 1944 to 1945. He wears a jump smock with splinter pattern camouflage over the regular Luftwaffe coat. It is equipped with an FG-42 machine gun (an exclusive weapon of the German parachute forces), a Luger pistol, and a stick grenade, in addition to the standard equipment. The helmet features a wire net to hold camouflage elements.

For me Jäger looks very good, nicely animated but other one is very stiff. Maybe he has so much clothes on that he cant maneuver more but it would be better to take some cover after throwing the grenade.

Excellent set and very well sculpted.

Ditto. But I'll prbably still get both when they're released in 1/72.
