Hmm. My sprue came with 8 figures on it.
I am tempted to use them for either a modern US Coast Guard Maritime Safety unit (my local hobby shop has 1/60 scale USCG helos in stock...), or a Rapid Response Team for my SAE30 crew in my post-apoc stuff...
I already had 16 of those figures on hand, so the 24 I now have ought to give me a lot of leeway in outfitting them, and might even let me do both of the above options......
