I absolutely love these figures. Great sense of balance in very complex action poses. Well done, Rado!

Very dynamic poses, I like them, but where to buy these?

They seem to be available in Europe only from Der Sockelshop, and Exter-Company, both in Germany.

Fantastic! late war Germans in summer camo! I'm definitely using these guys for a diorama with the 12th or 2nd SS in Normandy. Maybe alongside a Pz.kpfw.IV Ausf H with zimm and a sd.kfz.251 ausf D covered in foliage!
Edit: The grenadier with the K98's hand is a little off. I'll be using one of Dragon's Gen2 fisted hands and K98k with the bolt open depicting him working the bolt as he's advancing forward. Perfection.

Dear Nate, the hand isn't off, it's posed to represent the soldier placing cartridge in the ammunition socket of the Kar 98, the cartridge is casted along with the rifle.

I know I said it earlier but not enough late war SS or Wehrmacht in late war gaiter and ankle boots!

Maybe it's just due to foreshortening due to extreme close-up, but his loading hand looks too large.
