Perhaps not really "/news material" to some, as we have seen these figures on our forums... However, Master Box just sent us complete info and photos about their neweset figure sets.

Great looking and useful sets! But what about the set 35170: 'Man Down'! http://www.mbltd.info/35170.htm
I hope it will be released later!

Obviously someone at MB was watching Band of Brothers. All three look like great sets and it looks like the moulding has gotten even better, not that it was ever bad.

Other manufacture's should take note: non action dio sets don't have to be boring. MB keeps impressing me more and more every figure kit they release. What a useful set, Allied builders really deserve this.

Tank riding paras look mighty fine! And they even included the dutch girl with the head shaven for fratrinizing with the Germans.
The modern sets are awesome as well. Nice to see the new guys on the figure block keeping up great releases with useful poses. I think all of our spares boxes are already filled to the brim with pointing guys?

Mhhh...a Dutch girl in France...in 1944. Must be the red-white-blue she's waving;-). Very nice set...will need a British Sherman in France for it. Let's see if I can find one, this just looks too good...

I was referring to the episode in Band of Brothers that had a dutch girl along the road. That's all.

Re the woman in "Snickers," her head will need to be replaced if you want accuracy; no Islamic head covering looks like that. For once I'd like to see a model company pay as much attention to detail with Arab clothing as they do with military details.once again we have an Arab civilian figure wearing fantasy clothing that looks nothing like real Arab clothing.

Re the US "paratroopers," it looks like they're wearing M1943 uniforms so they can be used as generic infantry, which is great.

For the paras thats a scene from Band of Brothers, Part 4. The guys for the LAV look real nice alone or together. I'd though prefer more specialized weapons for the other set of figures.

That, or they were watching us pass out candy bars in Iraq. Subverting the enemy by causing their kids to get high on Hersheys.... lol
MM's went over real well too

I cant wait for the Paratroopers hopefully they are in M1943 uniforms and fit to Market Garden. I just love to rebuild scenes from Movies, TVShows and historic pictures. love you master box 
It great when Companys listen to modelers like master box and miniArt (I wrote to them at the beginning and talked a lot about some normandy figues ...later they pronounced the us paratroopers and now the horsemen and i also talked and wrote with them about the upcomming ardennes set its so great to actually write with people in charge)
