Zvezda have two new, 1/35th scale figure sets which are scheduled to be released at the beginning of 2008.
Both of these new releases are being listed on their U.S. importer's website (DRAGONUSA) and are listed for JANUARY 2008 release.

Both are COMPLETELY new toolings:

ZVE3598 - Russian Special Force Unit “VYMPEL” This is a six figure set of the Russian Anti-Terrorist unit and consist of the following figures: 3 machine gun (H & Ks), sniper rifle, heavy grenade launcher, light grenade launcher (3 barrel).

The second release should be a bit more 'widespread' in its application:

ZVE3613 - German Sturmpioniere WWII A six-figure set of German 'Sappers' which includes items such as a flamethrower, grenades and satchel charges.

All of the kits I have seen from this outfit are pretty poorly done. Too thick, parts too hard to snip off, chunky torsos and square heads. I think I will pass unless they have really cleaned up there act. Ironmike

Go here to read more about the Zvezda 'Vimpel' figures in the Russo-Soviet forum. Some interesting pictures (and other information, if you can read Russian) can be found here. HTH. -YL
