Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 34 Set #83008 (2007) - #93008 (2007) US 82nd Airborne Division Pt 3 U.S. Pose 7

I like the GI's accompanying the German POWs - they're wary, but relaxed all at once. The prisoners won't be a problem. For them the war is over.

Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 32 Set #83008 (2007) - #93008 (2007) US 82nd Airborne Division Pt 1 Packaging and Contents

Here's another set for which I had none of my original boxes and therefore had to rely on fleaBay for photos. This was an awesome set that featured both U.S. GI's as well as German prisoners. I wish FOV would have offered more in this vein. As stated in previous posts, I had all of my figures from the early 2000s in a large box and pulled out the correct ones for photography. I did not re-use previously taken photographs of any figures. Relying on fleaBay photos does allow me to reconstruct the number and types of figures in each set as well as the larger pieces, however, I have no way of confirming the 'smalls' unless there's a really good photo by the seller of what's inside the box. Both of these sets are dated 2007.

Contents

-2 GI's

-3 German POWs

-Log obstacle

-Ruined wall - straight

-Crate #1

-Crate #3

-Jerry can

The crates and Jerry can were the only 'smalls' I was able to ascertain from the photos. There were probably 2-4 Jerry cans in the set as that was fairly standard for FOV, but I can't verify the correct quantity for this set.

Forces of Valor (FOV) / Unimax Deep Dive: Pt 31 Set #83005 (2003) - #93005 (2004) German 716th Infantry Division (Normandy 1944) Pt 6 Pose 5

The last of five German poses from FOV Set #83005 / #93005. While there are a total of twelve German poses in the FOV line, these five poses will crop up again in later sets. This was a common practice of toy companies back in the '50s,'60s & '70s - make a few toys, mixing and matching the few items that were designed and manufactured, and offering them in a gazillion different sets.
