I can't get over how realistic these figures look, to be expected as it is a 3D scan but the whole process to get to these figures is executed amazingly well imho.

The high-tech future of modeling is here - still a little expensive though.

Yes, a little, 18 euro per fig (in 1/35) when you remove the print towers yourself. Compared to a resin cast by one of the better sculpters/casters I feel it is reasonable, especially since all the processes to achieve this have been pioneered (so it seems to me) by Reedoak. It seems to me that a lot of time must have gone into this. I just placed my first order, hope they do well.

This looks to be a superb figure, with the pose and all that gear. I'll get one. My experience with my two Reedoak figures has been great.

Norbert, a friend parachuted into S. France with the 509 PIR for Dragoon. Might there be a US paratrooper figure c. Operation Dragoon in the future?

They look like M1943 Combat Service Boots to me... Incidentally, these were made in two styles- "Smooth side out", i.e, like a conventional shoe that can be polished, and "Flesh side out", which featured a "rough" exterior, which was sometimes treated with Neat's Foot Oil, ostensibly to make them "water-resistant". BTW, the M1938 canvas Leggings, worn with Service Shoes, were also manufactured in two different styles- The M1938 Mounted Leggings, made in just over a 12-inch length, with 10 eyelets, and the Dismounted Leggings, which were shortened, sporting 8 eyelets. It should be noted that MANY GIs were still wearing both styles of the M1938 Leggings with Service Shoes well past VE Day, 1945, even though the GIs disliked them intensely. IMO, the figure manufacturers seem to think that the great majority of GIs wore the M1943 Combat Service Boots. The facts are that quite a few GIs were still clad in the M1938 Leggings and Service Shoes (and the "second pattern" "Parsons" OD Field Jacket), by war's end, and this is pretty much ignored by the manufacturers- Photographic evidence will bear me out. Personally speaking, I wish the manufacturers would take this into account, and give us more figures of GIs (AND Marines!), wearing the M1938 Leggings & Service Shoes, in lieu of the M1943 Combat Service Boots, which were extremely hard to come by, because they were usually issued to replacement troops Stateside, and UNSCRUPULOUS Rear Echelon troops scarfed up many of the M1943 boots for themselves, leaving front-line GIs literally in the cold and wet...

A bit of often un-noticed trivia... By Autumn, 1944, new (Not including the 82nd and 101st) US Parachute Divisions' Troopers were issued the M1943 Combat Service Boots right from the "get-go", as the "Corcorans" were a bit too expensive. The M1943 Combat Service Boots had only ONE advantage over the M1938 Leggings and Service Shoes: They were easier to put on and pull off... Otherwise, the M1943 Combat Service Boots were just as dismal as the old M1938 Leggings & Service Shoes, i.e, the Service Shoes allowed water to leak inside, and the Leggings soaked up water, creating a LOT of misery and Trench Foot among the GIs...

Have to check, I scanned already a few US paratroopers, I know some are Normandie and some netherland (and UK too), but there was others. So I think in the future, yes, but not close future, as we try to balance between past and modern, soldiers, pilots and civilians

GIs in Normandy & France, 1944 Africa, Sicily and Italy, 1942-1945 wearing the M1938 Leggings & Service Shoes would be most welcome with US WWII fans; also WWII US Marines! There are very few figures of WWII American, British, French, Italian, and Japanese Soldiers, Officers, Marines and Naval Personnel in their "Dress" Uniforms... I hope you will consider these requests. The War in Korea should be covered, the Vietnam War, Grenada, the US Marines in Lebanon... Would you also consider 1/48 Pilots, (sitting in cockpits and posed outside of their aircraft) Ground Crew and other Ground Personnel; literally, the possibilities are virtually endless. In 1/24 and 1/25 scale, civilian figures and race drivers from all eras would also be very nice...
