I'm sure the Fallschimjäger will be a hit with the "German Fans" and it certianly looks nice enough (a guy names "Panzer" comes to mind ) but being a die hard Bond fan, I will without a doubt own the Thunderball Bond figure. Especially with this being one of my Fav Bond movies (along with Goldfinger). I really like the action and originality of the pose. Now I really need to talk to my buddy Rhodes Williams and find out how to display a figure like this "underwater".

The Underwater Struggle is a great sculpt if you're a Bond
fan or not,but I am surprised that the movie theme pieces
still sell ok.Just not my thing I guess,but still a great figure.The 90mm figure should be popular with ww2 fans.

Those Fallschirmjäger are my favourites but I only painted one of them years ago. Time for a second.

I really like the action and originality of the pose.

Though it's a neat looking piece, all the credit for the pose goes to artist Frank McCarthy who did this illustration for a poster in 1965. ~Gary

Bonding

Wow...that Bond set really brings back memories - might even be able to convince one of my son's to pick up a paint brush for that one!

I like them both, I especially like the underwater struggle.
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Cesar Alvarez are very interesting figures and soldier WWII and skin-divers impress!
Complex{Difficult} engineering embodiment of two figures - really effect of a underwater stage!
Forgive for my question - why "Andrea" does not speak a name of authors of figures? It not respect for authors - sculptors or a strange commercial principle? (it is often my question and my friends - colleagues).
Yours faithfully - fine figures!

For some reason, Andrea has always managed to get away with their movie figure line, even with the 'hotties'.Ok, they never use any names and comic figures even lack the symbols on their chests(Spiderman and Batman), but still...I've seen small garage kit producers recieve a C&D from Lucas Arts for much less.And we do talk about mass production where Andrea is concirned.

Is the German from Andrea

Hi

I thought this German figure was from another brand, is it really from Andrea?

Paul, thay all start to look the same to me after a while!

I think what Sergey is trying to say is why doesn't Andrea give credit to the people sculpting these wonderful pieces. The answer is simply, I don't know. Verlindedn does the same thing. They have had some of the greats do pieces for them and yet never a nod. Maybe it's a contractual thing, maybe it boils down to dollars, and it's cheaper not to have to do it. Anyone have any insight? Of course, Sergey, if you mean why they don't use the real names for these figures as Jiver has explained, that's easy, licensing! They don't want to have to pay for the rights to use the tradmarked names for any of these.
