Orion are going from strength to strength. The quality of the VC Local Force figures is surprisingly good - a bit of flash and a few moulding lines that need to be removed, but they will paint up well.

Orion 20mm Vietnam Plastic Figures - 3 new South Vietnamese boxes Oriona14

My delivery arrived today. Let's get these bad boys out of their boxes...

Orion 20mm Vietnam Plastic Figures - 3 new South Vietnamese boxes Oriona12

Ruff-Puffs: each box has 4 of these sprues.

Early war ARVN: each box has 4 of these sprues and one of the small sprue.

Orion 20mm Vietnam Plastic Figures - 3 new South Vietnamese boxes Oriona15

Late war ARVN: each box has 4 of these sprues and one of the small sprue.

Initial impressions: minimal flash, nicely posed, good variety of weapons and equipment. Compatible with the two classic boxes of ESCI Vietnam War plastic figures. More to come once my camera battery is recharged.

These figures are good to go for any vaguely irregular force: you could use them for Montagnards, etc.
