Italian military figures from World War Two have always been hard to come by, but now MasterBox has announced a set of five Italian figures. You get three infantry with an officer and an armoured vehicle crew member.

It's a shame the Italian "in battle set" have not been released and they dropped off the "in progress" part of MB website....though I'm greatful for more Italians I was looking forward to the battle set to accompany the Dragon Italian set.

I like the look of these. They are actually interacting and not just standing there like they're posing for a picture. I'll be getting a set.

Ironic that the prototype figures are posed with an Italian armored car in German markings. At least edit out the Balkan cross. ;-)

"In-action" or not, I am stoked about this. Battle poses will come and I plan to acquire this set.

I agree, a good set of Italian ww2 figure in plastic is well overdue.

Nice set of Italians and long over due. MB has sure improved over the last decade or so. I will invest in a set of these blokes and they will go nicely with an Italian tank I have to finish.

Nice poses, and the detail of the Italian figures are very good.

Good poses, good "dio in a box" concept, very nice all around.
