These are the only Zvezda figures I have purchases since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and they were used. I used to by a lot of their stuff, particularly the small tactic game pieces, but not anymore.

I had a specific need for them and I am using the Streltes Strelets figures for another project.

I also bought this set recently. I’ve always loved Zvezda’s figures, wish they’d produce some more. But back to the Streltsy, I’ve found that with a consistent paint job the two styles of figures mix decent with each other. You can create a pretty formidable force.

Your government buys Russian Nickel, Titanium, Platinum, Tungsten, Gold, Lead, Copper, Wheat and Uranium for hundreds and millions of dollars...but it's actually Zvezda's $10 and $20 kits which are financing Russia.....ok then....
