The latest kit from MAsterbox set during the second world war is this - no #35208 German StuG III Crew, WW II era. “Their position is behind that forest!".

The kit is devoted to the events of WWII in Europe, and it includes five figures. Four figures are depicting crew from the StuG III Crew and one figure is the Infantry officer.
The story shows the scene that could happen in any point of the frontline: the Infantry officer, interacting with the StuG III crew during the battle, clarifies the task with the commander of this gun, while the rest of the crew, using a minute to stop during the action, are enjoying a short break.
These crew could be wearing the grey or the black of tanker crews on their Panzer jackets, they are suited to fit in the hatches of an early model Mark III Sturmgeshutz.

Kit number #35209 “Protective Circle”. Indian Wars series, XVIII century. Kit No. I is the first in a new series of figure sets from Masterbox depicting the history of the United States in the 18th century. The forest-dwelling Indians and their lives during the events of the Fourth French and Indian War of the mid-18th century.
The first kit consists of four figures of Indian warriors who formed a protective circle around their wounded comrade as they try to keep him from the enemy's hostile attentions.

You can see by the illustrations that Masterbox aim to give these figures expressions and emotions as they always seem to do with their work.
It is planned that this series will consist of five kits that will show Rogers’ Raiders, Red coats (British soldiers and officers) and also French soldiers. The figures allow you both to create a vignette with a story offered by the manufacturer and to use each figure in any combination to create a mini-diorama.
These two new kits should be available from Masterbox's Distributors in March/ April  2020
