>>7760798Some of my yellow guys have the holes (the lighter yellow ones), and I'm pretty sure I only ever got those second-hand, usually at flea markets. Come to think of it I don't remember ever getting holed ones of any color brand new, weird.
Pic related came from a dollar store a few years ago, it's interesting in that the details have been largely preserved, with a couple changes. The M2 machine gunner has had his base shortened so that the tripod kind of overhangs, and they've added a charging officer pose from an Airfix set. It's actually a pretty useful addition, adding a leader figure doing more than waving with binoculars or chatting on the radio. He's just a little bit off-scale, but not terribly so. The other thing about this set is they nixed three of the Matchbox poses, namely the bazooka, rifleman aiming at the ground and submachine gunner. The first two aren't a big loss, though the troops may disagree on the absent noob tube when confronting armor, heh. Would've been nice to at least retain the grease gun dude, but overall it's one of the better dollar store offerings I've seen in the last few years.
