Thanks for the news. looks great indeed, as usual in this perfect range, but why don't make some ethnic head set. If I'm right, there are one asian and one African set and already dozen of "bare head with..."
People modelling Asian figures are forced to play with 4 heads, that's pretty poor.

Cheers.

Good news indeed Jim. The only set I am not sure about is the ones with their mouths open as they look very zombie like, especially close up.

Figures are getting downright spooky! Amazing details for 1/35th.

While I do agree with you, it's most likely due to the shortage of actual figures representing the ethnic groups you mention. As a small manufacturer I'm sure Hornet can't afford to produce products that may sell in lower volumes but needs to go for the more popular subjects.
