New from Black Dog, we have four new modern US figures in resin. A crew for your M1 and a pair of snipers.

Is is just me, or does it look like Black Dog figures are getting skinnier. While I like the poses, I am not sure I like how they look proportionally. Limbs look skinny and the details look soft. I have seen some great work from Black Dog in the past, but this seems to miss the mark.

My question is why do sculptors portray soldiers pointing with a single index finger, we're taught to indicate with a flat hand. There have been a number a great releases from Black Dog but I feel the snipers are a little off.

Some of Black Dog offerings are really nice, but some leave me completely ho-hum. Their last couple of figure sets are not up to Black Dog standards IMO.

Not anything to justify 24 Euros plus shipping.

Great comments to all. Thanks for pointing things out that many may have over looked.
