Howdy,

Lincoln County Line had a couple, LC 0023(holding a machine gun) and LC 0070 (holding a samarai sword, knife in teeth). They might be hard to find nowadays.

Howdy,

I found this at Squadron:

It's the same figure as the Lincoln County one.

€26 for 6 Adam figures, (or 7 if you want the Evas! Been looking for these for a long time. Thanks for the heads up.
Preiser have got hundreds of other figures in 1/32 and 1/35, from construction workers to civilians, Refugees to sunbathers....
Diorama makers heaven I would guess

I'm Happy, now my desert rats can have a swim in the oasis!!!

Hello Robert, Verlinden had a two figure set consisting of two Marines holding a Jap flag between them. One of them was definitely shirtless. It might have been both, but I don't remember for sure. Al

Valiant Miniatures makes two different versions of shirtless United States Marines (Kit #9710 and Kit #9700). Another company called "Miniaturas Andrea" makes one with a Thompson Machine Gun (Kit # S5F02). All three of these kits are 54mm metal figures. Try Hobby Bunker in Massachusetts for the Valiant kits.
