USMC012 kneels with a handset raised to his ear and an M1 carbine resting close against him. From behind, the large radio pack and long aerial explain the pose; from the front, the open mouth and concentrated expression carry the scene. This is one Marine performing two jobs: keeping a weapon within reach while listening and transmitting.
The tanks on his back identify USMC011 before the weapon in his hands does. King & Country depicts one Marine leaning forward with a flamethrower projector held at waist height, its hose curving back to the pack. Green utilities and a camouflage-covered helmet tie him visually to the range’s riflemen, but the bulky equipment gives him a very different silhouette.
Del Prado’s Scottish infantryman carries a tall axe-headed polearm and a round shield. A brimmed metal helmet and blue, studded-looking coat distinguish him from mail-clad knights. The product reference places the subject at Stirling in 1297; the model is an unnamed infantry figure.
Cataloged as a French artilleryman of 1450, this Del Prado figure holds a short firearm to his shoulder. He wears a metal helmet and body protection, with a sword at his side. The supplied subject is a single handgunner, not a cannon and its crew.
Del Prado’s Mongol archer stands holding a curved bow across his body. He wears a blue patterned coat, boots and a fur-like cap, with archery equipment at his side. Although Mongol armies are strongly associated with mounted archery, this particular release depicts the man on foot.
This Viking warrior wears a blue tunic and helmet, with a shield carried behind his shoulder and an axe raised upright. His other arm extends outward. Del Prado’s reference identifies Norway and the year 872, while the decorated neckline and wrapped lower legs give the figure more detail than its broad silhouette first suggests.
Del Prado’s Norman knight stands on foot with a spear, small checkered pennon and matching round shield. Mail covers much of the body, while a dark red garment and pale lower legs break up its texture. The reference dates the subject to 1025, well before the Norman invasion of England.
This Del Prado officer rides a walking brown horse in a blue coat with red distinctions, dark trousers and a bicorne with a tall red plume. The sword remains at his side. The product reference identifies him as a Dalmatian pandour officer, dated 1810–1814.
A mounted Austrian officer raises his sword above a forward-moving brown horse. His pale coat, bicorne and red horse furniture distinguish this Del Prado figure from the later helmeted French cuirassiers. The reference identifies him as an Austrian cuirassier officer of 1796.
Del Prado depicts Robert Craufurd standing in a red coat and dark trousers, with one arm extended and a paper or map held at his waist. His hat rests beside his feet. The uncovered head and directing gesture make this a more active portrait than an officer standing formally at attention.
