I would think that they would run somewhere between $30-40 USD in keeping with the normal price range for Tank figure 2-packs.
That aside, looks like Tank has released another well done set here.

Despite my disappointment over one of their sets (contents not the figures) I have to say that on the whole they are very good especially their Russian offerings.

If they are of the same quality and I see no reason why they wouldn't be I would say chances are you would be happy with them.

Darren: Will do

Craig: Yes! Barring the odd issue that is bound to come up every now and then, I am very pleased with these figures. I have the three modern Soviet figures in winter gear during service in Chechnya and they are top notch

Thanks for the review, Brian.

I would, however, like to see more close-up photos of the parts though - 3 photos for a review is a bit on the slim side in my opinion. Apart from that, a fair review And... Congrats on breaking your figure review cherry

Regarding the uniform, Red Army stuff isn't my predominant area of interest but IIRC the padded uniform was a winter uniform - sure wouldn't want to be wearing one of those during a Russian summer!

Once again, fair review and congrats on your first figure review.

Thx for the kind words Rudi. As far as the photo's goes, I'll get better ones with the next review for you. LOL.
I can't thank TacFireGuru enough for letting me tackle these figures.
I've got one more figure set from Tank to review, so stay tuned!

A good review, Brian. I would have to agree with Rudi though... 3 photos are not enough to show all the details in a figure review. Take a look at some of Historicus Forma reviews (Rudi's are a perfect example) to see what we are talking about. It would be great if you could get more detailed photos for the next article.

Cheers,
Mario
