To the best of my knowledge Platoon 20 is a new English company producing a very extensive range of 25mm modern figures with special emphasis on Vietnam, Arab-Israeli, and the Falkland Wars. Because of their size these figures can be best used in small action situations unless you have a very large playing surface available to you. As I mentioned Platoon 20 offers an extensive line of modern figures (there are 61 figures listed for Vietnam alone). Most of the figures offer some interesting posing and animation but do suffer in some instances from some anatomical problems. The detail is fairly lavish but not as crisp as I would like to see it. Rating: Anatomy: .4, Animation: .6, Detail: .6, Paintability: .6, Casting: .6, Total: 2.8 More Reviews
