Evolution Miniatures has a couple of new figures on offer with one being a Soviet solder and the other a German tank crewman.

Thanks!

The figures look nice.

What is up with the post title though? I thought we were going with titles that were more decriptive and told the producer in them as well. This one just doesn't make sense.

I think the hitchhiker is whatever jumped inside the guy's boots

I think that figure is really just adjusting his triangular foot wrap (used by Soviet soldiers instead of a sock), so I'm kind of puzzled by the thread title, too.

(If he had been emptying out his boot maybe that would imply a stone or something else unpleasant in it..?)

I really expected to see some small figure vignette depicting a soldier dragging some protester off a tank or something.

Anyways, the figures do look very nice.

Thanks for the news Darren. I really like the Soviet figure and can already picture it in a vignette of some kind.

As far as the title goes......when I read it I automatically thought of the scene from "Saving Private Ryan" where the airborne soldier makes a similar comment and sits down to remove his boot. Then I saw the figure, the title works for me.

Thanks again,
Randy

Guys I have by and large stuck with plain old titles for the news for some time now, such as X releases new Tank" and I wanted to play with the title, this figure set fitted the bill for me and it just popped into my mind. Sorry if you don't like it, Shoot me.

Thought the title was cool. Made me want to look.
