One guy in shades is stretched out with his back against something with his arms behind his head catching some rays, with another sitting looking off to his left. Arriving in a standard figure box with one of MiniArt's excellent paintings on the front, this set contains four modern USMC tankers waiting for their call to whatever-it-is, and relaxing as they see fit.Įach figure is split into separate legs, torso, head and arms, with additional parts for scarves, hats, scarves, gloves, and a few parts of the sides of a plate carrier, so that the MOLLE loops carry on around the torso. The Marines despicted in this set are doing just that. This is a nice set for US armor subjects and you might also look for their two-piece modern Russian tank crew, modern Israeli tank crew, and an interesting three-figure set for the Meng D9R armored dozer.War is often described as interminable boredom punctuated by moments of terror, so on balance if you drop-in on a soldier randomly, you'll either find them training, or if they're deployed there's a good chance they'll be filling their time with some kind of recreation once the daily tasks are completed. These figures are nicely sculpted and capture the crew as they are peering around their armored glass protection at potential hostile targets. The crew are wearing more contemporary armored vests with below-the-waist extensions, external knee pads, drop-holsters with sidearms, and MOLLE-based chest stowage. These two crew figures are depicted in the turret of an M1A2 SEP Abrams but can be adapted for upgraded Bradleys, Strykers, etc. Why is the time period so specific? Personal protection and gear stowage transformed relatively quickly as Army infantry and armored vehicle personnel transitioned from combat to counter-insurgency operations (COIN) and as those COIN threats evolved over 10 years in-theater. This set represents a US Army armored vehicle crew circa 2008.
Valkyrie is a new company from South Korea which has released a several new figure sets including this one.
