F is for Follow-up - More Russkie Raspberry Reds

Although actually, these are a tad more mauvey-purple than the two lots I was thinking of. I know; a day of action figures wasn't on you menu when you got up this morning, so here are some proper toy soldiers courtesy of Chris Smith!

I felt there should be more poses, but by co-incidence both the sets I found the other day were the same four that I already had, so began to think that was it. Chris thinks these 10 may be a complete set of poses.

I really like the pose with the 'potato-masher'; stick-grenades come as drums, separate from their sticks, and are unioned immediately prior to action, or the patrol or whatever. At some point, mid-war, both the Germans and the Russians started strapping a daisy-wheel of extra canisters to the central one to produce more bang-for-the-buck! It was also used by brave fools to tray and disable tracked AFV's, which meant getting too close to many-tons of un-cooperative metal!

Several of the poses have been used twice on both upright and kneeling figures, and I'll have to track the rest down at some point, but for now - thanks to Chris for rushing these over to Small Scale World's command center (read; cluttered desktop!).
