They were announced a while ago because I've been looking for them for months. Hopefully they will appear soon though.

These are really cool figures! The Finnish outfits looked like a cross between German and Soviet uniforms.

They’re traditional Finnish boots from Lapland called lapikkaat (or pieksut). Not only worn by the Finnish military during WWII also by lumberjacks (tukkijätkä) and loggers (metsuri),
