I was just looking at new MiniArt releases of Harley motorcycles w/ figures sets. Useful figs in contexts other than motorcycles, and when you have a use for mechanics, resting soldiers, etc., you have to buy another Harley. I wish MiniArt would box all these figs (the ones that come with the Harleys) separately in a figure kit.

Have you done any Miniart figure kits Mr.Biggles? Do you like them?

Yes. Generally they are very good, but not with the finesse of Dragon figs. They will require a little putty here and there, and could use resin heads (I do that with most plastic figs anyway), and look much better with Dragon weapons and equipment. So far, it doesn't sound very good for MiniArt, but the sculpting is good, and the figs have useful poses - mechanics working on vehicles; pz crews maintaining their vehicles; German troops working and loading trucks; etc. At least they are not standing and looking, or pointing.

I agree. They have good poses. Good concepts.
Masterbox also have some good useful figures.
i really like Alpine, very fun to paint.
Dragon equip is excellent. The Gen 2 Dragon's are awesome. Too many "standing around" poses though.
I love resin figures, great detail.
Verlinden's are fun to paint but they seem to be out of scale, too big.
I wanna try Royal Model resin figures as well as, Evolution Minatures resin,CMK,Aires etc..
