Figures with Pith Helmets... now that's gotta' be a first! Curious: What type of batteries are they?🔋 —mike

I'm assuming truck or car batteries from the look of them. probably lose a bit of water to that desert heat.

Thank You Tat, and Hello to All!!! A VERY WELCOME change from the "usual"!!! Beautiful execution in definition and animation; naturally, accurately and candidly posed, i.e, these figures do not by any means look "stilted" or "stiff". They would and will look very natural next to ANY WWII Italian military (or civilian, for that matter), Vehicle... I'm buying a set!!!

Could they be used for Afrika Korps with a little modification to the Pith helmets' Italian emblems (removal), perhaps? —mike

Can't really see any reason for much -if any- modifications being necessary as the Afrika Korp operated on a shoe-string budget and made free use of anything that came into its possession; be it Italian, British or American, it was all used and how can anyone claim shorts as unique attire? The German pith helmet crests on the sides would be the only addition I'd think.
