Korean War Figures by BMC

These guys just look cold.  BMC 60mm Korean War soldiers.
Kneeling firing, in Korea the war was often close up, clearing out trenches so the bayonet was a must for that kind of combat.
Standing and reloading.  In a gunfight you should be moving to cover, firing, or reloading.
All eight poses in combat.
They look really good together I think.
No flash and they fit well with MPC Ring Hands and Tim Mee old time figures.
The new figures are much more animated.
They fit especially well with what I call the Tim Mee M14 guys.  They were armed with M14 rifles and were a chunkier style than the later 54mm M16 armed Tim Mee figures.

The Korean War never really ended and all through the 1960s there were firefights off and on and even the occasional incursion over the DMZ.

During the Korean War, '50-'53, the US and even North Koreans/Chicoms used mostly WWII equipment. The US Military was using M1 & M1 Carbines during that war. But again, those are great figures !

Yes, eventually the US got the upgraded carbine with 30 round banana magazine and full auto, many of the old carbines were also re-manufactured to the new standard, IIRC.

These are great figures, I think.

Thanks for reading and commenting Legion4.
