World War 2 Japanese

 These are World War Two era Japanese infantry made by one of my favorite producers: Toy Soldiers of San Diego. As you can see, the variety of poses is pretty good. As I've ordered many sets made by this company I can guarantee that the quality of this set will be superb.

  The poses are ideal and realistic. The top row (from left to right) consists of: infantryman banzai charging with machete, infantryman thrusting with bayonet, flag bearer banzai charging with only flag, infantryman stopping advance or quickly popping out of cover to fire his Type 38 or 99 rifle, and infantryman charging or carefully advancing with fixed bayonet. The bottom row (from left to right) consists of: infantryman firing over cover or stopping and kneeling down to fire, infantryman firing from side of cover or firing from hidden position, infantryman thrusting bayonet, and infantryman firing his Type 99 LMG (Light Machine Gun) also with fixed bayonet. This set is $21.95.

 This set is definitely a great army builder. One of these sets will consist of 16 figures and the 9 poses shown here. I would buy either one or two of these sets and use them in conjunction with other producer's Japanese sets that don't differ greatly in size as Toy Soldiers of San Diego unfortunately has not made anymore Japanese sets. I will give you the link to the Toy Soldiers of San Diego site and a link to classictoysoldiers.com who also sell a multitude of other producer's sets:

I give this set a 9/10 for its quality, attention to detail, yet higher price.
