The busts are very good - I still think Big Joe (Telly Savalas) should be available - Kelly (Clint Eastwood) is good but I do think he could be a little less down in the mouth. However I have two out of the three on order - the German tank commander had such a small part in the film. It really was Kelly, Oddball and Big Joe.

Most interesting face of the cast and biggest character too.

Personally I would also like to see Big Joe in this set. I think Ross had to choose only three as per the usual number of busts per set but perhaps he could 're visit this one at a later date.

Most of you will see a lot of my work involves MMM figures - I champion their figures - I know a few have issues here and there. I think the best advice when buying an MMM figure is that you should realise intermediate skills will probably be required. Many who have had experience with MMM figures have found issues but nothing that often a wipe of putty or use of a razor saw won't cure.Some of the clean up on some figures is more than others.
Lets face it the MMM figures are respectable especially for the cost. I think the recent 200mm American Sniper is sublime.
MMM Have some excellent sculptors in their stables and the casting is decent. Subject matter is always a matter of choice.
In this case I think Big Joe is missing - time will tell and so will sales. There is no denying that the German Tank Commander likeness is excellent - in fact if MMM were to do a bust of Richard Attenborough as Big X in his escape clothes, another scene is available.
The point with this film is that the three main characters all line up facing the Tiger Tank toward the end of the movie and that really is the scene to have drawn the influence on.
However Gellso is right about the cost - MMM's Oddball character is much better proportioned than the current one available which has overly long features and is by the looks of things much better value for money.
Now....MMM have done Kelly - so we have Clint next we want Richard Burton and both in Alpine Korps Uniforms - Broadsword Calling Danny Boy - with the option of full figures!
As a footnote I do feel the MMM Cooler King and SOE Major are excellent. Well done MMM keep up the good work.
