Very good review Rick and I like the work you have put into assembly and painting, I particularly like the scarf you have added but shouldn't the flap be blown in the other direction the same as the coat.

That cold wind, it swirls around and around, and plays tricks, coming from every direction... you can never get away from it!

I like the poses and winter gear , even if it is more Germans.

Happened to catch a Youtube review on these figures the other day and it struck me that with a little modifications, they could be wearing dusters. Dusters were worn by cowboys during the 1800's and still are worn by many today. Think of the number of westerns where everyone's wearing 'em.

Going for zombie/apocalypse dioramas and these would look great with survivors struggling with the wind, cold & snow. Maybe pulling a couple of horses behind them?

In terms of telling a story I feel this is the best figure set there is. I bought four sets as I adore the way they say its 'Bloody Cold here', I used one set in the picture below and you can see more of it via the link below.
