Hello there!
I found this new release by Hobby Fan at PMMS.
http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/newkitnews/images/hf578.jpg
I love those dynamic poses and really want to buy this set. But don't the heads look a little bit out of scale (too big) whilst the weapon looks too tiny?! Did Hobby Fan the weapon right, or is too short? If I just knew the correct name of it, I would've googled for it. Are there any replacement (modern) heads out there? I hope you can help me.
Thank you very much!
Johannes

I agree, those suckers are small with the stock folded up. I got to use them in some squad force-on-force training in March. After holding an unloaded M-16, which isn't exactly a back breaker, I picked up a loaded M-4 and darn near tossed it for being so light. Still jam like a -16 though...
Can't wait for the figures too. Glad ACU is coming to the forefront, regardless of what I think about them.

Alright, so far to the size. Thank you very much, guys!
Left only is the head-size-issue. Who has already worked with HF figures? Can anybody give a statement on the proportions of the heads, please?
Thanks,
Johannes.

Well Dragon heads are always useful as replacements. Not to mention Hornet. Which are probably the best on the market. Stunning.

The figures look good. They have already been discussed at length here.

Ops, I'm sorry.
I know Hornet, but as far as I know they don't have modern heads / helmets. Whatever, this is not a big problem.
