| Long Review: | Since I'm new to Moderns, I'll confine my comments to the actual figures. I will, however return to this review once I've studied up on the kit worn and carried! The figures I received are: 3 British troops- one standing firing his LSW, one standing with his GPMG held Rambo-style, and one kneeling firing his SA80; 2 SAS- the first ready for normal warfare, with Bergan backpack (this one comes with a loose backpack and a seperate head with a beret), and one CT in the Weaver stance, with a seperate sledge-hammer and a flash bang; 2 Taliban- one with an RPG, the other with an SKS; 1 GenForce standing with AK and wide brim helmet (also a seperate head). From what I can tell, the kit looks pretty convincing (more on this once I've checked references and begun the paint-job). I do find the poses good, although the two advancing figures look a tiny little bit off-balance. The overall quality is not bad, although there are one or two areas where detail is a little soft, the overall effect is great. From experience with his ancients, these figures of Sean's should paint up quite well. |
| Commentary: | Very nice indeed- and smaller than the DDD figures I've handled. However, since I'm used to this average size and style, I think I may prefer these to the DDD purely based on the size issue. |
| Historical Accuracy: |  Good. |
| Pose Quality: |  Average. |
| Sculpting: | Average. |
| Casting: | Average. There is a little mould slippage and some cleaning, but not excessively so. |
