Not sure if this has been picked up on before but just noticed this over on the masterbox site, apologies if its been posted already

What are the two kneeling/crouching guys doing - temple massage?..shampooing?..Vulcan mind meld?.. applying roller bandage?

Interesting, but I don't want to see more in progress until those already "in progress" are released. I'm still waiting for the US artillery crew and the "marines".

Agreed Russ its great that Masterbox want feedback but whats the point of putting out a black and white period photo! And whats more for over 2 yrs!

Well Russ if you don't want to see them I suggest you don't look in threads titled "Masterbox new in progress"

If on the other hand you don't want Masterbox to show their in progress sets until the US artillery crew and Marines sets are released write to them, explain your frustration and demand they work flat out around the clock to get those sets out -then and only then can they go back to working on other sets

I'm quite happy to see these and any other sets Masterbox want to show me- I have enough to work on till their eventual release.

I don't really like the grenade thrower - always a hard pose to pull off but I like the other four especially the guy firing from the hip

the guy holding the other guys head seems to be helping a dumb troop to spot the enemy!

they are over there dufus!

The only weak point in this set are the medic and wounded guy who tryes to fight wile being treaded.
Not a very realistic pose I guess.
The other three guys are great. A little basic but very useable and welcome.

I agree about he grenade thrower, unless he's Lasith Malinga the best he'll manage with his arm in that position is a weak sidearm toss that won't go far. The guy firing from the hip also needs the left arm to come down unless he's supposed to be firing uphill.

They do sort of work for me for a position that's about to be overrun or is in very close combat and I could see them in a room to room battle inside a destroyed building. Though only if grenade guy is looking to lob one down a hallway.

Good action figures, the knealing guy looks spot on and the medic could easlier be used to be fire'n a heavy MG on tripod. I love seeing any figure sets with this much action AGAIN MASTERBOX DELIVERS ACTION more dynamic figures are a must! fed up of standing/pointing figures.
