Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 20 Set #83004 (2003) - #93004 (2003) U.S. 82nd Airborne Division (Normandy 1944) Pt 1 Packaging and Contents

Just yesterday I posted about how there were three different boxes as well as carded sets for FOV's figure sets - all from a company that was apparently only in business for six years. That would seem excessive. Anywho, yesterdat we looked at the boxes, so today we show an example of the blister card packaging. As I only had one of the sets in my collection, the remaining photos are from fleaBay, but they serve the purpose. The sets were numbered 83004 (dated 2003) and 93004 (dated 2004), and have the same contents.

As we go through each set, you'll notice FOV more-or-less stuck with one unit for the American GI's: 82nd Airborne Division - Normandy 1944. There are a couple of exceptions, but for the most part, stuck with the 82nd. I did not research the uniforms to see how accurately they're portrayed. You'll also noticed how FOV recycled the same figure poses over-and-over again with each set, only switching out accessories.
