Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 57 Set #83205 (2005)-#93205 (2007) German 352nd Infantry Division (Normandy 1944) Pt 4 Pose 3

The third of four German poses that came in this set. When I was digging into the box of loose FOV figures to put these sets together, I noticed that the German figures were all relatively uniform in their coloring and texture. Not so with the American forces, and as photography progressed for the series it was apparent that later production American figures were declining in quality. 

There is only one more set containing Germans that I was able to identify which means most of the other set postings will be U.S. and British.

Marx #4672 'The Flintstones' Playset (1961) - Odds n' Ends - Extra Neighbor's House - Light Gray

This house is in a very light gray but is not to be confused with the '90s era 'Ruby Edition' playset buildings. Those were in an almost white light gray, but had dark speckles throughout - this one does not.

Marx #4672 'The Flintstones' Playset (1961) - Odds n' Ends - Extra Neighbor's House - Caramel Brown

I have a couple of extra (NFS!) neighbor's houses - the one I ended up referring to as the 'lake cottage'. Today's example is a nice marbled caramel brown and the photos show it with the blue repo antenna from the '90s era 'Ruby Edition' playset. Also, Marx only included two mailboxes: one for Fred's house and one for Barney's, so if you want a mailbox for your extra house - as shown here - you'll need to buy extras from fleaBay.
