Great news. That much closer to the full set.

Great news, Caparzo is the only one I’m missing.

The inclusion of these two FP006 photos is curious because that's FP003 Private Jackson:

FP006 was Ryan but he's not even in the group photo.

Facepool have been known to make numbering (and naming) errors in the past though.

Since I didn't get the figures first time round I hope it's an indication they're re-releasing all of them. I'm much more tempted to buy new stock than search for long sold out figures, though Kit did find me a brand new, perfect condition long sold out Ujindou Paddy Mayne.

I will admit that I have passed on every version of Saving Private Ryan figures that have come out over the years by all companies. These might be the best of the bunch though from what I can see in those photos. Tempted if the whole team is available again by one company cause I like consistency. Hunting down old figures wouldn’t be easy, so hopefully they clarify their plans.

I wonder why this is visible and clickable by everyone, and not just Facepool themselves?

After clicking Contine:

EDIT:

It's being reported on Reddit that this is appearing to visitors on lots of different pages.

Ditto.

I’d buy the whole team if they were all readily available again or in a set.

I bought the Tom Hanks and Matt Damon figures years ago (different companies?) but gave up after I missed a few releases and never collected backwards since there so many figure to catch up on.

I don't even remember seeing that.

Facepool's development of Caparzo goes all the way back to 2019. They mentioned that the market for Rangers was flooded in 2020 so wanted to be careful. In 2021 they showed they hadn't forgotten him. Then no more news until last month when they posted photos of him alongside the Wade re-issue.

We have been working on the WWII US RANGER series for a while, knowing that there are already many many RANGER figures now, so we want to be careful and avoid overcrowded the market, please let us know your thoughts.
WHICH CHARACTER OR ACCESSORIES DO YOU WISH TO HAVE IN YOUR RANGER COLLECTIONS?

Thank you!

Got some inquiries about this guy, just you know we haven't forgotten him, still in progress...

And perhaps with the girl too.

Since it seems like they're re-issuing all the Saving Private Ryan figures, having 'liked' the post asking, "Should we expect the full squad?", I wonder what improvements, if any, there will be?

I'm expecting possibly only tailoring, and maybe the paintwork, since the sculpts will likely be the originals.

FP001 Captain Miller was scheduled to release in Q4 2019. My first/oldest Facepool figure is FP005 Soviet Tank Crew Mariya Oktyabrskaya from 2022 (who is actually Senior Lt Aleksandra Samusenko, because they sculpted the wrong person by mistake!), and by then their tailoring was already good.

I say keep it basic with the cost down. If there is a huge demand for a dio with a crying girl, then sell it separately for those that want it

I'm not getting these to specifically represent the film so I wouldn't necessarily be wanting the girl. She could be used to create a scene with numerous other figures, though it's a sad image since she's perpetually crying.

Most will get these for WWII displays cause they look awesome and happen to resemble characters from the movie. A few like myself want them for the movie and why Miller is an absolute must for this to work.

When I get them they'll invariably be displayed together as figures related by the movie, but eventually, if the collection grows that way, they may become separated with the Rangers kept together, while Ryan and Upham go off to join other units.

These will be my first M41 jacketed US troops since the vintage Dragon figures.

Kit's price is good, especially since Facepool are asking $165 + $30-35 for delivery for Caparzo.

They have Wade at $148 + $30-35, so for the pair it's a $25-35 saving from Kit.

I only have some of the team. I like how this turned out, so I’ll get this one to add to my 4 man crew.

Interesting to note that Mellish up there has the jeep cap as well - that wasn't in the first release.

Facepool haven't made Mellish before.

Which makes that photo a teaser.

I was looking at DID's product history page yesterday and noted they'd made Mellish and Horvath, which were missing from Facepool's series:

EDIT:

I searched Facepool's Facebook and found references to a Mellish sculpt and separate uniform set from three years ago.

The plot thickens. So the Mellish sculpt came with the deluxe version of Upham (FP004B):
