I first, I couldn't figure out what you meant by CT. Then I looked at the picture and laughed.

The 3-3/4" figures and vehicles are starting to leak out before their May 1st sell date. Several guys over at TNI forum have gotten their sets. They look excellent!

So I am not sure what passes as PC these days, but if memory serves weren't all of the bad guys Nazis? Calling them German seems kinda harsh...not sure I want my kid thinking Germany hates Dr. Jones. Look we have all the major villians in the toy aisle: Decepticons, Cobra, the Galatic Empire...and Germany?

If it were Indiana Jones, I would have called it moose knuckle.

Glad someone else responded... I could almost hear crickets.

i'm not trying to get all political/historian on here (since i'm no good at either), but can you tell me about any german soldiers who werent nazis during WWII?
i applaud hasbro for actually being able to sell them with a slight name tweak. would you have preffered "Totalitarian Dictatorship/Genocide Regime Soldier 2 Pack"? or "Bad Guys 2 Pack"?

i'll take "German Soldier 2 Pack", thanks.

From what I know anything which is Nazi related is unacceptable in retail chains like Walmart, TRU, etc. I've been collecting 1:18 WWII stuff for a few years now, and any german plane, tank or anything else which has a swastika or identifies it as being Nazi, the big stores will not carry.

21st Century Toys and Admiral Toys had to resort to providing authentic sticker sheets for their product, and only through smaller channels like online stores.
