DML lately has appeared to be cleaning out the "back room" on
figures, and this set – with artwork by Ron Volstad dated
1993 – may be one of them. The set provides three German
infantry men and one Polish officer prisoner.
The figures are all of the original DML style – each one
consists of two legs, torso, arms and head rather than the more
involved breakdown of the "Gen2" figures. The Germans
all come with steel helmets and full kit (and three old one-piece
Kar 98K rifles, not the new "WA" series ones) and etched
brass slings for two of them.
The Pole comes with no kit whatsoever but can be immediately identified
by his "Czapka" style hat.
Overall this is a nice set but does suffer in comparison to the "Gen2" ones.
Thanks to Freddie Leung for the review sample.
