hello everyone, Dan Beidelschies from Austin Miniatures here. I just got a few cases of my new WW2 Marines air mailed. the color is od green. they come in a plastic bag with header card. 12 figures in 6 poses. $25 a bag plus shipping. I will try and get a picture up on my website soon. these figures will only be available thru Austin Miniatures. give me a call at 419 616 3697. I will have prototypes of 6 Japanese soldiers at the Chicago toy soldier show. also the first two figures in a new metal series of 1930′s gangsters and cops. thank you for all your continued support.

Austin will be putting up pictures in near future.
How many Japanese poses?
Christian
The Austin Miniatures Japanese will have six different poses. Prototypes will be shown at OTSN next month
Received a set of Austin Marines today, so if you placed an ordered, I would think they should arrive shortly. Olive, dark green, more Conte than TSSD. Mix between CTS and Conte. Thinner detailing then TSSD, the proportions of the equipment more delicate (?) than say TSSD. They will fit right in. I leave the accuracy to others to investigate. I like them overall better than Austins cowboys. If you look at Austins site, the two poses not included are the second, and fourth from the left. A bit of odd anatomy here and there, due to the engineering used I’m thinking. Gluing parts together have alignment issues say, around neck and heads, arms. But not bad, just a little, overall very good.

Thanks for the update.
Did anyone notice on the Austin Minitures website that they gave a special thanks to Conte collectibles for their help in making the set of Marines possible. I found that interesting.
