Review

 

Another good looking figure from Dragon, number two in the British line up. There are some new items included with this figure such as the 'Dennison' camo smock, collarless shirt, braces, small back pack, Webley revolver, and British pattern Thompson.

The head sculpt has a distinctly 'British' look about it with the small, and  quintessentially English,  neatly trimmed  moustache.

The uniform is well made and finished although the camo smock seems a little on the light side. The smock is a snug fit, but goes on if you are patient, and I like the small zip at the neck opening. The red beret is as used on 'Mark' but finished in red flock and para badge.

The webbing equipment is a joy to behold and is, again, well made and finished; I particularly like the metal buckles.

The weapons supplied are all new, with the exception of the fighting knife, and are well made and finished (although the stock fell off the Thompson due to, I think, careful use of glue at the factory). The Webley revolver features an authentic break action and has a very neat looking holster; Really nice.

 

Overall: A great addition to the Dragon British range, Get one for your collection.
