What i good concept. I really like the animation in the figures, particularly the Soviets. Moulding looks pretty good too. Nice idea from Masterbox, that could really catch on with builders of vignettes and dioramas.

You have to hand it to Masterbox, while on their own the individual figures are ok, to put them together in one set is a terrific idea and one sure to fuel many modellers imaginations.

Any word on if the building or just the wall section between the figures will be included?
Great idea, I'm not a Soviet figure fan, but even I would be tempted for this one.

Nice news. They do look nice.
here is a nice camo scheme that would go with the Russian scouts.

Personally, I'd welcome such a versatile set with open arms, as the figures could also be used separately in plenty of other scenarios - almost 2 figure sets for the price of one.
Bring it on, MB!

Wow, that's a great concept and it's not only a scene in a box, it's literally a diorama with tension and emotion in a box. Definitely buying one to do as the pre-made diroama and probably another since those are nice poses for other dioramas.
I wish Masterbox would do an integrated set for the 1946 paper panzers that are all over the place, infantry with updated weaponry like dragon's old set talking/interacting with a panzer crew hanging out of the hatches of their Panther F or E25.
Great set, great idea. I love these guys.

The Russians look more promising that the Germans in the sense that other manufacturers already have several sets out with similar poses. I like the use of the German LMG by the Soviet squad leader - makes a nice change from the opposite, namely Germans using Soviet gear/weapons. Kudos though to MB for putting them all in the same box.

Absolutely love the concept. Although I don't build dios or vignettes, this one I will definitely get as it is sure to provide a nice change of pace and, with it, some much needed fun.
Great job Matser Box!
