This is a very limited set of figures, but they are true 25mm and fit well with 1/72 plastic figures and models…
Shown above are some workbench shots of a few of the poses depicting US Army soldiers. Not a lot of variety, but covers the very basics. One could easily add machine gun and mortar teams by using plastic 1/72 scale figures (which is what I plan on doing for my small WWII game. Painting these figures goes very quickly; few colors are needed and there is not a lot of detail to catch. Add a simple gloss finish and you wind up with some nice, simple old school figures.

Same figures as the workbench shot, but this time with a dark background. My painting s not very good, but these samples came out just fine for my intended use. The colors may not be correct, but are based on the colors used on some SAE 54mm figures, so close enough in my book.
These figures were cast from the original molds. Not as clean as they should be, but that will be remedied with some new molds made from the original pattern figures. I didn’t have time for the Germans this weekend, but will swing back and cast up a small batch for sample painting.
While we don’t expect these to be big sellers, we do plan on making the new molds; I can fit the existing figures into three molds. Doing so will keep [production] costs to a minimum. As such, once these figures have been re-molded we plan to offer them at a greatly reduced price. Currently our Classic 25mm (foot) figures are priced at $0.90 each. For this grouping of 25mm figures our price is projected to be $0.65 each. Now the question is: Should we do this sooner; meaning some of you are interested in picking up a few (or more) of these. Or just fit in the new molding as my [personal] projects progress?
