Ok, found these this morning making the October releases from Pegaso "official", I guess. Strange as usually you see the pictures of the figures LONG before you see the figures. As mentioned in another thread, the figures were seen at Chicago being sold by the vendors. In any case, we have a few additions to the previously viewed new releases. In case you don't remember them, the updated releases can be seen here. Added to them are:

English Paratrooper
PT-020
Sculptor: Tony Williams
Painter: Andrea Tessarini
Scale: 52 mm


German Squad Leader
PT-019
Sculptor: Tony Williams
Painter: Michele Minucci
Scale: 52 mm


Also, you will notice Pegaso has begun releasing wood bases. These will be interesting to see as far as quality goes. As soon as one of you are the first to get these, please post some pictures of them up here for all to see. More views can be found by going to Pegaso's Website.

I've been collecting a lot of 1/35th brit paras lately(mostly resicast), and this looks like one of the coolest.

Jim,
You saw these on sale in Chicago? I wish I had I think these will look great with Hornet heads on them. I particularly like the Brit para because of the unique ammo bandolier he's carrying.
As for the bases, I wasn't impressed at all by them. You're better off getting some Thomas Arts bases for about, if not less than, what those Pegaso bases are going for.

Chuck had 'em Pete. Didn't see the bases though. The one I want to see out of the box is the Highlander. Too bad Pegaso seals them otherwise, I would have had that look.

The figures,are from Platoon and not a Pegaso release,they will be release here in the states very soon at modelmecca.com

The Mp40 pouches on the German look small to me. The para looks good. Excellent pose.

You're right - the pouches do look out of proportion with the MP40. Regardless of the scale, the pouches do look a bit too "flimsy" in the report.

Platoon is a Pegaso series for resin WWII figures so finally it is Pegaso , and the quality standards are Pegaso's. As for the Highlander that i have already been cleaning for painting , is one of the coolest figures. The face is excellent and the rest of the sculpture work perfect as always Maurizzio Bruno's works are. Definately a must have piece .
