This news a tad bit old but havent seen it posted here. A company called Plastic Soldier Company has started creating plastic miniatures, mainly for 1/72 but they have made a cross scale system so that they can easily change the size whether for 28mm or 15mm. Although yes this does cause a problem as the smallest miniature size must be taken into account the the 28mm are mainly single pose (a few have attachable arms) So far they have russians in this new system.

Thanks for posting this. I wish 1:72 scale hard plastic figures like this had been available 25 years ago when I was into historical (WWII) wargaming. I always disliked the soft polystyrene figures that were the only alternative to metal.
These look okay, although I thought the multi-pose 28mm Germans released by Warlord recently looked much better (I suspect the detail on these Russians is comparatively crude under the paintjob - the faces look rather rough). Of course, course they'll be simple to convert. However, those rifle barrels will be very easy to break in 1:72 scale.
Incidentally, contrary to what the chap in the video says, this isn't the first time a company has produced identical plastic miniatures in varius scales. Preiser has been doing it for years, in 1:87, 1:72 and 1:32 scale.

Hmm I knew that somehow they couldnt have been the first! And yes I can see they are well behind Warlord in quality. Cheaper though (they are russians after all!)

Saw them at Crisis 2010 (antwerp/belgium/europe ) and very impressed
28's look very nice, very good models for a decent skirmisch game
20's just smaller versions
15's detail on the rifles include the bolt for the mosin-nagant rifle
15mm's are exactly the FOW scale and have very thin ( so no filling required for bases )
( The 15mm's are availble now)
Sets will be followed by:
15mm T34 ( incl. options) - no pics no furrther info
15mm russians in winteruniform ( I expect 20 and 28 als well)
15 mm late war britisch announced
