ICM continue their excellent figure set offerings with a set of Greek Evzones. This is the usual four figures offering from ICM and represents to me an unusual and unexpected set of figures.
These Greek Evzones are based on the World War Two troops from the 1940 – 1941 period. The Greek Evzones are all volunteers that have signed up for military service and have to be over 6ft tall. There is no way for me to tell if ICM has taken this aspect into account with these figures, but even if they have not they will make for an interesting set of figures for World War two modellers.

Very interesting set of figures but unfortunately there are some issues at the guns and helmets details.The basic rifle of the Hellenic Army at 1940-41 was the MS 1908 6,5Χ54 mm with inside rotary magazine: LINK The basic pistol was the FN Browning M-1910/22:http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browning_10/22 and the Greek helmets were the M1934/39 type: LINK As you can see these details of the figures are inaccurate and they need to be corrected by ICM.

Kostas, yes the helmets just didn't look right straight away to me.....maybe the Hornet Italian Heads/ Models Victoria Italian helmets will fit the bill if ICM do not correct same.

Jason,the problem is that the Greek M1934 helmet design was based on the Italian M1933 but it was modified and produced in Greece by Greek Industry "EMAGIE" so the Hornet and Model Victoria helmets need to be sculpted to so the defferences.

Ok Kostas, yes it is certainly a shape of its own.....just been researching it on the net.

Oh...I thought they were going to be Ancients. Athenians vs. Spartans, etc. But at least they are actually shooting, etc. Boy! Those pom-poms on their boots must have been a real bee-yotch to keep clean!

These look to be the basic sculpts so a lot can and probably will change with equipment and accessories before they arrive in a box at your LHS. So I wouldn't be too quick to pick apart rifles and helmets yet. Now will there be Italian infantry from the Greco-Italian War as well? I'd like to see a nice set of Italian Alpini and Bersaglieri in European uniforms.

Dragon has one Bersaglieri (?) in the Hunting Partisans set. He's advancing, but turn him around and he could very well be retreating!

Biggles 2 you always make me laugh..... Stephen, this hopefully will be the case....as an Armorama staff member was quick to attack some members about another previous ICM topic for 'suggesting' 'correcting' figures as the staff member was quick to tell the members "Stop ladying" and "Manufacturers read these". Well I'll be damned, no Shiite....that is why I do it so the manufacturers do their research and get it right.....
