Platoon 1/35 Scale Figure Releases |  | ‘Platoon’ is a new series of figures being co-produced by VLS and Pegaso. Each package contains a single figure and the package is about the size of a pack of playing cards. As with the other figures in the VLS line, these new figures feature beautiful detail and simple construction. If I’m not mistaken however, these figures seem to have very expressive faces which will make them more fun to paint.
German Grenadier, Germany, 1944/45 PT-001 MSRP $12.95 USD This chap is on the hunt. The pose says 'stay low' and introduce this guy to Mr. Hand Grenade.
 
Panzergrenadier, Italy/North Africa 1943-44 PT-002 MSRP $12.95 USD This soldier is on the move. His uniform says that it is warm wherever he is so now you have some variety with the Afrika Korps or with the defense of Italy as the background of your vignette.
 
German Panzer-Aufklarung, Italy 1944-45 PT-003 MSRP $12.95 USD Check out that indignant look on this guy's face. How dare those swine invade my sector!
 
German Grenadier, Italy 1943-44 PT-004 MSRP $12.95 USD The detailing in this figure is great, the expression of concentration and the action pose all make this
 
U.S. Assault Team #1, Europe 1944-45 PT-005 MSRP $12.95 USD With his trusty M1 in hand, this soldier pauses long enough to help his enemy die for his country.
 
G.I.'s Advancing #2, Europe 1944-45 PT-006 MSRP $12.95 USD The face on this running figure almost resembles John Wayne. Once again, another great bit of action frozen in progress.
 
G.I.'s Advancing #1,Europe 1944-45 PT-007 MSRP $12.95 USD Another soldier taking aim with his M1 fron the kneeling position (a little more steady for plinking at longer ranges for those of us who remember the Girand on the ranges).
 
U.S. Assault Team #2, Europe 1944-45 PT-008 MSRP $12.95 USD There is no doubt with this pose that this fellow is following the John Wayne look alike closer to the enemy while his two buddies above provide covering fire.
What a great new series and the level of excellence with this joint venture between VLS and Pegaso is readily apparent with each figure! You can purchase these figures from your local hobby retailer or directly from VLS' website at www.modelmecca.com.
