Thanks!

Very exciting poses. Glad to see more "hairy ones" (poilus.

These look to be a good set for the Takom FT-17 kit that comes with the trench base. Instant diorama.

GREAT poses, these will be diorama bound!!!

Great for a trench diorama.

A nice looking bunch of poilus. ICM is joining the big boys as far as dramatic poses, crispness of detail and a growing variety of figures in 1/35. I will have to get a set or two of these hardy Frenchman. I wish they would do a set or two of the Legion - lots of possibilities there.

These figures would look great faced off against their earlier German Assault Troops set.

This is more like it! Nice dynamic poses. A few boxes of these and with a bit of chopping torsos,legs and arms about you could have a nice Verdun dio. Either in a trench or inside one of the tunnels in one of the forts which has been penetrated by German assault troops. Now if they could do say two boxes of British ones in dynamic poses I'd buy a few as I'd love to build a First World War dio. These are the first ones I've seen that actually look like they can be used for a diorama as all the others, while nice, are pretty boring to say the least and with no variety in the poses. Their advancing slowly troops are the ICM equivalent of DML's "pointing Germans". Not a huge amount of use. It would be nice if they released a Hotchkiss with crew and spare ammo clips and boxes to run alongside these. Would complement these nicely.

VERY NICE!!! MORE of this kind of thing is quite in order...

As a US fan, I'd like to see more US Doughboys and US Marines- St.Mihiel, Sgt. York at Belleau Wood and related figurines. US WWI Tankers, with Lt. Col. George S. Patton, which would go great with MENG's FT-17 kits, and possibly some other notables, such as Captains Harry Truman and Eddy Rickenbacker, and Brig. Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Yes, no..? Maybe ICM could expand their line by doing some American Civil War subjects as well..? Napoleonics, of ALL nations, please... And for good measure, more 1/24 cars & trucks, as well...

As for WWII GIs and Marines, I'd like to see the GIs in pre-M1943 Uniforms, i.e, Parsons Jackets, M1938 Leggings, as seen up to late 1944- so many of the figures of GIs are seen in the M1943 Boots, Jackets & Trousers. Many GIs were seen right up to and after VE Day in pre-M1943 garb. Also, US Marines in M1 Helmets WITHOUT the Camouflaged Helmet Covers, with and without the M1938 Leggings, a la Guadalcanal, Gloucester, etc... Anybody agree..? Casual and "action" poses, please...

I wish WARRIORS were still in business...

WARRIORS' "CHARGE!!!" vignette of WWII Polish Lancers charging on Horseback, and their "BANZAI!!!" vignette of WWII Japanese Infantry charging in a "Banzai"-attack were SUPERB! I really miss WARRIORS' WWII US Heads sets...

I need this set

Very nice!

Stunning set ! Very well done ICM folks !
The poses are great and of great variety. The equipment is top notch and detailled. They perfectly interact together and in the same time offer a great deal for transformations.
I do agree that unlike their earlier sets, which were much less dynamic (except for the shouting french officer 1914, and maybe the italian set) and a bit stiff, those are truly in action !
Not only ICM brings on the table very original subjects, but they are of top quality and they offer a lot of possibilities. This is clearly what makes a leader on a market.
Congrats ICM
