One of the first set of toy soldiers I remember playing with as a lad was a set advertised in comic books, as above. My friend had gotten a set after responding to the ad. The ad didn't make mention of the fact that these were flats, so it was a little disappointing once received. Also, it was a strange mix - 8 officers, 8 WAVES, and 8 WACS, but only 4 tanks and 8 machine gunners. Don't remember wishing I had more Wacs when I was setting up a battle scene. But I do have fond memories of the set, and I was pleased to pick up a few at the Toy Soldier Show. Lose bag of figures for only $3. And at this point I like the facts that they did do figures of the WACS and WAVES
