I was doing a bit of tidying up in the workshop, and unearthed some supposedly 1/72 figures that I was saving for a Monogram/Marx article that I had planned out in my head, but never got around to actually write.
I first read about these figures over at
Small Scale World, where Hugh does a nice job of explaining their origins.

Four other sets are listed on the back of the packaging, but I have never seen them being sold anywhere.
The figures are really tall, and pretty much the same as 25mm gaming figures. The Viet Cong however, are a head shorter than the other figures which is a nice touch.
Unfortunately for the 1st Infantry set, I ended up with two of the last pose, and am missing the bazooka man. It's funny that now that I've finally noticed this, my collector's mentality is telling me that I should get another set to complete the full set of poses.
