Indeed very good looking figures! Did Sergey mentioned about a set of 4 upcoming figures or is he planning to release only these two?

Very interesting... Black Dog "Little Green Men" figures were really good, but Evolution is even better.

Yeah, very nice figures they are...but the caption is wrong!! These are not soldiers, they are so-called militia, i.e. civilians in self-defense of their Krim!
The one on the left is the village baker and the other one is an insurance broker..
The whole village community buy their kit from the same supplier....thus explaining their wonderful uniformity!!
Wish the regular austrian army were half as well equipped as these guys!!
Cheers

That's right Romain....the same guys who wear civilian clothes now and are deemed 'Pro Russian Supporters', aka the baker who shoots down the Hind last week with the latest surface to air missile and the insurance brokers personal weapon is the latest SVD sniper rifle...!!!!!
But yes lovely figures all the same.....

Romain and Jason you both made my day
I work for an insurance and I have to admit that we dont have such gear...Im jealous
I hope those figures are released soon. Will look good with Black Dogs offering and a GAZ Tigr.
Best regards,
Andreas

No,no,this is a primitive weapon Krim militia families produce at home, and they are used by insurance brokers o.s., not Spetsnaz!!!

It seems they have very talented insurance brokers with high technology at home to produce primitive weapons.

Veeery talented indeed!!!
And they only spent their holidays in Georgia, nothing else!!
Of course they had to defend themselves against nazis o.s.
I only hope they do not play tourists in Austria again!! 45 to 55 is enough!!!

Great-looking figures! They appear "beefier" than the Black Dog ones even though Black Dog's "Little Green Men" looked very good.
What's more, the wait time between recent conflicts and figure releases are shrinking. I sure hope sculptors keep up with this and instead of waiting years for a figure release, we don't have to wait that long anymore.
