USMC WWII


Waterloo 1815 are marketing US Marines for WWII. These are 1/72nd scale soft plastic figures.

This figure carries a Thompson submachine gun. He has a dog, Marines used many dogs in the jungle to ferret out the hidden Japanese. The dog is a bit small, the Marines used many Dobermans, this dog is no Doberman.

A kneeling bazooka man. Not quite into position, but getting ready. Like the others in the set, he wears the cloth helmet cover. Very typical of USMC late WWII.


This is a nice figure, really action packed.



Charging figure, with M-1 rifle. These figures are all in the style of Caesar Miniatures. It is rumored they are made by Caesar and sold by Waterloo. Good set, well sculpted. More photos soon.
