Evolution Miniatures has a couple of new figures on offer with one being a Soviet solder and the other a German tank crewman.

The figures look nice.

What is up with the post title though? I thought we were going with titles that were more decriptive and told the producer in them as well. This one just doesn't make sense.

I think that figure is really just adjusting his triangular foot wrap (used by Soviet soldiers instead of a sock), so I'm kind of puzzled by the thread title, too.

(If he had been emptying out his boot maybe that would imply a stone or something else unpleasant in it..?)

I really expected to see some small figure vignette depicting a soldier dragging some protester off a tank or something.

Anyways, the figures do look very nice.

Thanks for the news Darren. I really like the Soviet figure and can already picture it in a vignette of some kind.

As far as the title goes......when I read it I automatically thought of the scene from "Saving Private Ryan" where the airborne soldier makes a similar comment and sits down to remove his boot. Then I saw the figure, the title works for me.

Thanks again,
Randy

Guys I have by and large stuck with plain old titles for the news for some time now, such as X releases new Tank" and I wanted to play with the title, this figure set fitted the bill for me and it just popped into my mind. Sorry if you don't like it, Shoot me.
