Just recevied a order from small joes .com....I ordered 6 of the WW2 marines and a general patton figure in the dress uniform....oh,yea also a british royal marine......smalljoes didnt have the Lieutant in the marine series they had sold out.....but the others are great figures....a bunch of real hard core grunts.......the Patton figure I noticed is made of a harder plastic than anything else I have seen made by 21st century toys...

Glad you like the figures. The Marines are some of the most detailed yet, though they are a devil to be made to sit or kneel. The Patton figures are cool as well, and give the US figures a commander!

Perhaps 21c should make an Erwin Rommel action figure as well, to go with that Afrika-Corps colored Kubelwagon on the new website and provide the Xd Germans with a commander. He wouldn't be as offensive as most other Nazi leaders and is well known. I have a little 1:32 figure of the "Desert Fox" (cant remember the company that made it), so I would guessa 1:18 version could be done!

I am a big advocate of a 1:18 Rommel. He was a military genius, not too evil, and pretty damn famous. That whole theater is unexplored as well. We could use a Rommel w/ and 88.....and go from there!
