they're nice for sure and i'm tempted to buy them. but...i don't know if just slapping on a rocket pack makes them "rocketeers" for me. i'd like a little more thematic consistency - is the rocketter outfit the same as a regular GI?  something a bit more 'aviatrix' here - but that's just me.  i'll probably still buy them, just without packs.

I received one as a promo back in the fall.  Here she is next to Murch's for scale:


Thank you for the comparison pic!
What a great figure and perfect size.

I understand and agree. I'll probably not put the packs on all of them.
The set with the helmets rather than the hats could be more Rocketeerish if they're in a flight style helmet with googles rather than say a paratroopers pot helmet.

I'll be using this fine filly for my Soviet pulp team:

I received my order from Rob at Eureka USA today, top notch service. Thanks Rob.

Here they are on a 1" grid.
The casts are clean with minimal, if any flash.

The kneeling pose is not a BAR gunner, but a M1 Carbine.

Im sorry for the crummy pics.

Comparison left to right, Artizan -Eureka -Copplestone -Pulp Figures

The Eureka girls are tad thinner, but work well for me.

You get two of each pose in the pack for a total of 10 minis.
Enjoy!

They're not on the Eureka websites yet.
I contacted Rob at Eureka USA by the contact email link on the Eureka USA website.
I presume the Eureka AU site has a contact link.

Not that I have seen.
I just received a reply from Rob at Eureka USA that they have;
Set #1  Figures are in helmets  (4 variants, 8 figure set) $16.00
Set #2  Figures in (Piss cutter hats) (5 variants, 10 figure set) $20.00

I just ordered one of Set#2 and will post pics when I get them.
