This is a simple set of four one-piece white metal figures, a Kar98k and an MP40.

Some flash and other small blemishes are present on the figures, but in-line with most white metal figures of other manufacturers and easy to remove. Poses are quite natural, anatomy convincing and detail on the uniforms quite nice. The faces have somewhat less distinct features, but most of them are hidden behind capes, scarves, and the like due to the theme. The weapons are good, but not sublime.

One figure has a strange flap "dangling" from the rear of his greatcoat, the purpose of which escapes me.

In all, a good set, but not as sharp as some resin offerings or the plastic Preiser figures, but made up by the originality of the poses. With a good paintjob these will do nicely in a winter dio.
