Great pics Wayne! I've got all the RFC figures and consider them pretty much essential to my collection. I have to note that the JJD German ground-crew figures are actually a whole lot better than I first realized. And, like the RFC figures, they display better when you've got more of them:

Prior to rounding up the guys above, I couldn't really figure out what JJ was trying to do with the pieces. Were they supposed to be authentic looking figures to support the KotS models, or a bunch of folks waiting in queue to audition for a new character with the Village People? ;)

Well, here's the deal. For them to work, I think that they have to be deployed in some combination of figures/sets like you see in my pic above. As I mentioned, I at first was really kind of put off by the pieces and had a strong preference for the RFC parts. It was only when I put them together that I recognized the genius of what JJ had done with the German ground-crew.

Because of what I've suggested, I'm not completely sure why they have been sold individually. Then again, I don't know how many buyers that there would be for a grouping of figures and accessories that would run somewhere between two and four-hundred dollars for purchase. One way or the other, I consider them real treasures and adore them, each and every one.

Those figures look exceptionally good - as does the earbird for that matter. Great dio too!
