Nice to see Taesung's take on the famous KG Hansen grenadiers. Also cool to see the MG gunner walking- not just another rendition of that same pose again. That pair is a must. Also, have to applaud the GIs even though they've been around a bit. Love the expressions and the natural, tired looking poses.

You can always count on Taesung to deliver quality.
The GIs are awesome and I know for a fact how much research he did on the Hansan figs in order to get them just right.

A for the updated information on the MG gunner and what he is wearing, all the credit should go to the guys who participated in the long discussion on FB.

Any idea when the other KG Hansen sets will be coming out?
You had to have anticipated that question from someone hahaha. Very interesting article too.

So far away! But as much as the idea of waiting just turns my stomach, take your time. If this is any example, the effort pays off. It was a ton of fun on the long facebook thread about this figure, and I'm actually surprised to see it so soon.
Are you at liberty to say which ones from Poteau you'll be making?

Thanks for the kind words! The other figures in the future sets will be the guy with Stg44, the guy in US rain coat, the guy with M1 carbine, and the guy with MP40. I think they will make a nice vignette together.
