It's been a while, but Dragon Models have just announced a NEW Gen 2 figure set.
The New set (listed for release in May 2009) is:
DRA 6385 - Totenkopf Division (Kharkov 1943)
Sculpted by Hirano Yoshitaka the new set consists of four (Mid-War) figures as they would have appeared in the fighting round Kharkov. Although this kind of figure isn't particularly new, there ARE a number of useful features which should guarantee its popularity.
First of those is the inclusion of the much-seen (but rarely included) MG Tripod. In this set it's portrayed in the 'transport mode' - carried on the back of an infantryman.
The other feature, which we've also become accustomed to, is the mixture of uniforms - dictated by the cold weather. Mixing and matching this set with others will give a good variety of the lack of uniformity which is to be seen in archive images of the period.
All the usual features in the Gen 2 range are present - good mix of weapons and the inclusion of PE for epaulettes and weapon slings.
