I don't know, maybe it is just me but that sniper figure looks very close to the SEIL Model, which was reviewed by MAJOR_GOOSE back in 2006.

Marty, if we all went by that logic no new figures would be realeased It is very similar but the D-toys Sniper if of superior detail, and a more natural pose (Imo) and i know the figure would buy out of the two..
The ranger is my fave out of the group, All the clothing looks very natural, and well sculpted.

Thanks for the look

Great to see more new Vietnam War figures!! Sculpts look good. How 'bout a TC riding in the commander's tub of of an M113, along with a couple of gunners manning each of the M60s?

Wonder who will be the first resin figure manufacturer to create generic Navy crew figures in 35th scale for PBRs, monitors, the PACV etc.

The Army and Marine figures are awesome, but we gotta have some Navy crew as well!

Regards and Aloha,

Thanks for the Info,

yes i think too itīs nearly the same like SEIL Models Sniper but much better in Detail and Quality from what we can see in the pictures. I think it really captures the look from the Photo of the famous Marine Sniper Carlos Hathcock.



The LRRP looks great too and we can hope to see more of these from this company in the Future.

BTW: There are some Figures aviable for the Pibber boat.
There is one set from ADV Azimut which is OK in Quality and the newer ones from the German Manufacture ModernArmiesinMiniature (MAIM).


Greetings

Stefan, I too thought this was Carlos Hathcock, but Vladi from Bravo6 says it is actually Dalton Gunderson.
