I’ve got VC figures with AK47s from both Minifigs and and Pendraken and I can’t make my mind up which ones to make up to a company of Viet Cong main Force. Perhaps I’ll do both.
Don’t forget that you can also mix some Pendraken’s Viet Minh in as well!
Minifigs is the best for pre-Tet and during Tet
Pendraken is better for post-Tet when the NVA was really not caring to keep up the ruse of it being a People’s revolution and starting wearing their uniforms
The pendraken ones look far less cartoony IMHO and get my vote.

Minifigs look like the VC that it seems you want to represent. Pendraken look more like NVA though they are painted as VC.
I already have a platoon in which I mixed Pendraken VC and Viet Mihn. http://dereksweetoys.com/?p=257
I’ll use them for Local Force VC.
