ICM continue to announce injected moulded figures, that I suspect most like me never thought we would see. This time around it is a set of Finnish Ski Troops in 1/35th scale.

Reindeers, eh? Appropriate for this time of year. Does any one of them happen to have a red nose? (Probably from drinking too much "caribou")

About flippin time, Finnish figures have been conspicuous by their absence. I just hope they make an actual Suomi and don't throw in a PPSh.
There is a time to laugh and a time not to laugh, and this is not one of them.

Here, "caribou" is cheap wine mixed with 100% grain alcohol!

Very nice!! Could make a variety of dios scenarios possible. I'm surprised though, that no one has said, "What another pointing Finn?" the way we used to hear with Dragon figure sets.
Even my pick-up is panzer grey.

Quick way to go blind, eh?
Saaay, whatever happened to the Canadian comedians who made "Eh?", "Hosers" and "Hoseheads" famous? I used to watch those guys on TV! Even their DOG was named "Hosehead"!!!

Not that I know of. There are too many variations, especially in American childrens' books. I would go with "Twas the Night Before Christmas" books... I personally would refer to illustrated versions printed in the 1890s... These would be eminently more desirable than today's offerings...
In any case, this new vignette makes for a very long overdue interesting and different subject. "The Winter War" between Finland and the Soviet Union needs more coverage on the modelling scene... This was a very fierce and bloody conflict of survival of tiny Finland against the Soviet Giant.
Perhaps ICM or some other enterprising model company could give us a "concealed" Finnish Lahti Anti-tank Rifle Team..?

Extraordinary! ICM is coming out with subjects only dreamt of for years. These models look very good.
