Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 63 Set #83304 (2005)-#93304 (2007) US 82nd Airborne Division (Normandy 1944) Pt 5 Pose 8

The radio guy is a nice inclusion in this set and is a pose that FOV didn't include in a lot of their sets.

One of the things I liked about FOV sculpts is that figure's shown firing a rifle, carbine, or MG, were either pointing straight, aiming high, or aiming low. Back in the day, Little Green Army men always pointed their weapons straight ahead. This guy is one of the 'straight shooters'.

Ya know, I keep trying to figure out what these guys have on the front of their helmets. 

Googling '82nd Airborne uniforms' hasn't helped much. I know I had seen explanations of this a long time ago but can't find the references for it. Was it a medical kit? Cigarettes?

When pulling the figures from the tote bins for photography, I was careful to color-match the uniforms. In this case the figures' coats are a bit lighter shade of olive green than that seen in other sets posted so far. Also, the hands and faces look a lot rougher on these guys - they look terrible! There were four figures included: Poses 2,3,4,& 8.

Time for our next entry into the world of Forces of Valor figure sets. Here's another set in which I had to rely on eBay photos for contents. All of the figures and accessories were pulled from the tote bins and collected for the photos, after which they were placed in a separate bag to keep them from getting used in other photo shoots. The Jerry cans are the only 'smalls' I could ascertain from the photo's, so they're the only ones shown here.
