In this report, we look at some of the new figure releases we can expect from Masterbox Ltd. in the coming weeks. Very good news for Allied builders in the form of THREE U.S: Infantry sets and excellent news for diorama builders in the form of two sets specifically for those modellers. The report includes a mixture of original images along with the company photos and can be seen:

Ola Jim

Again some really interesting releases that we can expect from Masterbox. Also some usefull figuresets. The Guard house thingy could be very good.
But what I love are the two guys in the German Machine gun set. The guy pointing with his gun and the binocular guy is really good... And also the cardplaying guys are really usefull.. I probably end up picking a box or two of each.... Just bcause it are nice figures... oh and you buy Masterbox Kits also for their brilliant boxarts right? .

With friendly greetz

Thanks Jim.
Interesting figure sets.
I'm sure they will be populating many dioramas and vignettes.

Very nice poses! They will be a really good addition to any diorama builder's wish list. Thanks for posting!

I know they were originally advertised as such, but it looks as if the D-Day Infantry has one guy with an assault vest, but I was wondering if these can be transformed into Rangers?

lol, If my dio's looked as good as the box-art i'd be a happy man!

On a serious note though, I can't wait to see these in the shops, some amazing figures, I love the interaction between them.
Glad to see the US figures, and like the german machine gunners, a nice (and different) kit.

Hats off to MasterBox. They are coming out with some really nice kits, with great poses, of subjects that haven't been done to death. That check point one is kind of scary, when you think about the historical context, but looks very well done. The allied kits are great, and that card playing scene figures could probably be converted to just about any army. It's great to see figures in shirt sleeves in any nationality.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but with luck I should have the new sets for Review in a few days...
