New AK figuries on London Toy Show? (1 Viewer)

on the video (part 2) of BigJohn from the London Toy Show you can probably see the next figures from the AK series, 4 new tank riders, mechanic and two new officers, if I'm not mistaken. They look good.

Some look like the old set of 4 tank riders?

Yes, they look like the old set of 4 tank riders to me as well.

These tank riders did not escape me too and I felt frustrated when I saw these figurines...
Yes, they look a lot too similar to the set of tank riders previously made by K&C..
When I see the tank riders from Vietnam for example who display absolutely superb and innovative poses, I can only see that K&C did the minimum for the Afrika Korps...
They took the old set and ''renovated''...
What a pity...
But hey, I'm waiting to see it more closely and it's my first impression that I deliver in this message..

Well, it's true, three of the figures look very similar from the poses, here are the originals

The new AK tigers look nice. I missed getting one the first time around. I hope to also see new "Eighth Army" releases in 2025.
