Looks really good, but I'd love to see the photos of resin, rather than CAD images.

Thank You Carlos!

At least these new "KIDS" look like kids, ( ), and not just "shrunken adults"... The only other really nice-looking 1/35 "kids" that I've ever seen (and bought) in a long time were the 1/35 WEE FRIENDS figures, which were available from FRIENDSHIP MODELS... The kids made by the "other" figure-makers have been out of proportion and UGLY, to boot...

Nice! The kids really do look like kids with bigger heads and skinner limbs.

As more 1/35 civilians are being made and marketed, I can see these kids fitting in as Halloween or Costume Party figures, showing the viewers that not all modeling has to be related to war or the military.

Man but these offer all sorts of one-liners that I'm working hard on not succumbing to but the kid in the middle could be used throughout most of the twentieth century.

The Star Wars, and Batman kids are pretty specific and look like they would limited applications.

Modern and post apocalyptic. The imagination is the limit.

How about a 1/35 scale comic convention with a tank display from Girls und Panzer.

The obsessed Batman fan in Ukraine or Afghanistan.

A Star Wars diorama with a fanboy hanging around. Paint the helmet olive drab and it's a relic of the long destroyed pre apocalyptic military.

Reenactment, military open house. I saw a cool photo of US Waynes Legion troops ( Battle of Fallen Timbers post AWI late 18th century) holding up a Sherman at a reenactors encampment. And the kids are watching wearing their favorite fanboy gear.

Use every German pointing figure you have as reenactors trying to get the kids away from something because they're ruining the period feeling of the moment.

Fandom is universal.

There are two other Kids Sets offered by looking at the entire News Link. So far, only the girls come with no costume heads and the boys wear masks.
