It's becoming very habitual now, with Masterbox sending us images of sets which are 'in-process'. Here are some images of a some VERY animated figures which will be hitting the stores in the next month or two.
Usually, for the diorama/vignette builder, it can be difficult to find figures which actually create a scene of their own - a 'snapshot' of the bigger picture perhaps... The last few releases of Masterbox Ltd. have been designed to link all the figures together in a particular scene. This is particularly true of sets such as Skatspieler' or the (recently-reviewed) 'Bail-Out' sets.

Masterbox are now combining two types of figures - the 'In-action' and the 'Relaxed'. Many companies do one or the other, but very few actually do both.

This new set comes into a category which we rarely see from from figure companies - a set with an element of humour...

MB3528 (German Motorcycle) is the center of this set and,the CREW will be listed as MB3538. As can be seen from the photos, is virtually finished. The figures are still in-process but will (if past experience is anything to go by) have similar poses to those in the images.

Finally, as always, our thanks to Masterbox Ltd. for providing these images as a very succulent 'taster' for the Network.

Ola Jim Another nice newsstory I actually really like these kind of figure sets and I'm really happy that Masterbox is the company who loves to take up these kind of scenes. Next to the fact that they have a piece of humor added to the scene it is also a scene that can be used as a standalone scene but also can be part of a big dio where it is one of the numerous stroylines. Motorcycle look pretty good too in these test shots. Have to compare it with my ref but it already looks like it would beat the hell out of the Tamiya cycle. Can't wait for this one to hit the shelves.. Will get a couple of the sets. With friendly greetz Robert Blokker

I got a good chuckle out of this one. Very original, and as stated, very usable lone or as part of a bigger scene.

Small correction here - 3528 will be the Motorbike, whereas, 3538 will consist of the figure set..

Its so good to see creativity in figure releases... Masterbox please keep them coming... Their future release listings are impressive by the subject alone, but seeing how they are delivering these items is adding to the drool factor. Especially looking forward to the new mold M/C
