Yes. They do. I love this set. Here is a pic of some of mine.

I am almost 100% sure that the helmets were removable, but the soft hats were molded with the head.

I must be confusing them with the other 1:18 Germans that were getting released around then. They produced a ton of great figures in a very short period of time!

FJs and Ardennes-series tank commaders would be where you'd get removable crusher and garrison caps.


Odd set, this. Guy running around in 1930s SS uniforms with StG 44s. Like something out of a low budget Nazi zombie film.

Hats are actually molded and helmets are removables. All heads except for officers are different. I have a set right here next to me. I used to have 2 and I regret selling one.

The infamous black uniforms did stop in the early 30s, the light green/grayish uniforms were used by the time the rifle was manufactured.

I´ve read that some desk burocrats would go on black uniforms during war time. But not actual party member troopers.

Anybody knows why 21st century went out of business? There are other great soldiers that use these molds.

Several, but the 2 biggest in my mind are their deal with Walmart combined with the price of oil soaring several years back.
