A good variety of poses and ages. Preiser is certainly going in the right direction to fill a void.
Just placed this on my shopping list.
Thanks Jim!

Preiser products are hard to find in the US. While their railroad stuff may be avalaible from RR model shops and online venues, these certainly don't carry anything in 1/35, while the model shops and the online places we buy from (Squadron, Sprue Brothers, Roll Models etc.) typically don't have anything from Preiser. I was able to buy a few sets through EBay, but I can tell that the price wasn't exactly fair (still cheaper than buying a dozen resin civilians from the aftermarket guys...)

Apparently Stevens International handles them wholesale in the US. If your local hobby shop deals with them, they may be able to order these figure sets for you.

Availability in the U.S. is much better than in Europe:

some of these figures would be great for an escape from colditz diorama!!!! some of the men look just like soldiers trying to blend in!
prehaps the guy who built the castle in france and is now building the village could do castle colditz complete with glider being built in the roof??

that gives me a few ideas, now to track a kit down..........

That's a neat set. I could have used it a couple years ago for a dio I did. I really like the seated figures.

BTW, Preiser figures are also available from CRM Hobbies in St. Louis. The website isn't much to look at, but if you call or e-mail, I'll bet Chris or one of his folks can help you.
