B is for Bean-poles

If this morning's figures were over animated, the opposite is true of these guys who seem to be heavily engaged in the liberation of Europe while on a stroll to the bus stop!

Indeed, the most animated chap is the grenade thrower (also otherwise unarmed - like his 54mm oppo') and it can't be said he's actually straining himself; scaring crows more like!

Walkie-talkie guy has the same SCR-536 type of the Crescent chap (not a prick-ten, I've edited! The Fujimi 23mm guy has a PRC-10!) we saw a day or two ago, and while they are quite stiff poses, I imagine that makes them good subjects for re-painting to a higher standard. With the floppy berets they could be Frenchies catching Dien Bien Flu (still one of the best gags!).

It's hard to look interested when you are inching along at a snail's pace, and again; he would benefit from paint?

The other three poses, none of them making much effort and one of them has been painted-up as a Panzer commander, where you'd find a 60mm-compatable Panzer from is another matter; Lineol or Hausser?

I've also seen them with green berets, but always so clean or shiny (or both) as to be questionable.

Marked bases are found of the more subdued colors/flecked khaki figures, the later bases are for the yellow-ish flecked and olive issues. The early ones are getting quite brittle now, but the later ones don't seem to suffer to the same extent.
