Review

"Not another German!" I hear you cry! Oh yes, but wait there are some great things here for WWII German fans.

All the uniform and equipment items are made and finished to a high standard. The figure features some new innovations for 1/6th scale including metal helmet and fabric shoulder boards.

The M42 helmet is in cast painted metal giving terrific scope for weathering and the addition of a leather chin strap with functional scale buckle makes it a must have item - more please Dragon.

The dot camo tunic is as released previously in the uniform set but with the refinement of functional fabric shoulder boards. These boards are secured in place on the tunic with loops and minute nuts and bolts! Great idea but fiddly, still they are worth it.

A leather functional black map case is provided and looks terrific for a mass produced item, a little gem. The bread bag is also a little gem although, maybe, a touch on the large side.

The new pattern boots have integral moulded gaiters and look much better than the fabric ones, in my opinion the way to go for 1/6th scale.

Lothar carries a MP44 assault rifle that features a working bolt together with a leather sling that has a functional scale slider - much better than the huge silver buckle any day. I hope Dragon feature this slider on all their future German guns.

Only a small of gripe here, the ammo pouch has belt loops that are way too small for the belt. So much so that I broke mine attempting to put it on the belt. Come on Dragon - quality control.

Overall: Another quality figure from Dragon with what I hope will become standard items for future German figures. Get at least one for your collection.
