    Does anyone have any recommendations for WW2 US Airborne figures?  How do the Battlefront, Forged in Battle & Peter Pig offerings compare?

    I have the Battlefront US Airborne and they are good figures I’ve not seen the Forged in Battle. I personally don’t like the Peter Pig Jay Leno jaws figures, others are ok with them.

    I’ve got the Old Glory figures.  I’m happy with them, and I think that they are still somewhat less expensive than Battlefront.

    The original BF figures were great  but for me they lost some of their appeal when redone, with coarser features & less lifelike proportions. If you can find some of the original version (most likely in the camouflage box,  not the later blister pack) then grab them.

    When I get round to it plan to use Forged in Battle for the bulk and Peter Pig for command, bazookas etc

    I just use normal infantry figures as Airborne. No one has complained so far. Glider troops wore infantry uniforms anyway.
