Those are lovely especially for Back and Beyond and Russian Civil War.

They look great for "back of beyond," but I'd really like to see fewer budenovka and some ushankas or side caps to make them useful for multiple periods.

I agree. That's also an extremely common remark in the comments on that page, so hopefully we'll see a change to that effect?

Ushanka hat is a winter headdress. It is not needed for figures in summer uniform.

Indeed.

I must say I’m not really sold on these. Not a patch on the Empress, Tsuba or OZ Club STP ranges.

Ah, but the WWI papakha is frequently seen worn with "summer" uniforms in period photos.  I'd like to see some of
them in this set.

Wearing a "papakha" in the summer is more typical of the Civil War, when there was a huge shortage of everything, including clothing.
Well, it can also be seen in the period of spring or autumn, when it can be warm during the day, and still very cold at night. Then, remaining in winter uniforms, the soldiers could simply take off their overcoat during the day.

This set of figurines will be good as a basis for conversions. But for each specific declared period, it will contain errors.

If for someone it is important of course  ;)

They should probably look at casting the ammunition pouches as separate items if they want multi use. By the time of the GPW the Red Army typically, albeit not universally used a newer, twin pouch pattern. I suppose with the deft use of a craft knife you could acheive a reasonable facsimile.

They could also go full CRAZY and simply include a few bare heads.

A wild idea, I know.  lol

Or a LMG -  Madsen preferrably their other sets WW1 French and Germans and the forthcoming British all have them.
