Review
Another good looking figure from
Dragon. There are some new items
included with this figure such as the 'washed-out' or battle-worn Dennison' camo smock,
green shirt with tie, small back pack and pistol holster.
The head sculpt has a distinctly
similarity to Sean Connery who played Major General Robert Urquhart
in the film 'A Bridge Too Far'.
The uniform is well made and
finished although the camo smock with its 'battle-worn' 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
'Ian' but finished in red flock and with the Scottish Highland
Division badge.
The webbing equipment is a joy to
behold and is, again, well made and finished; I particularly like
the brass metal buckles.
A small gripe here, the pistol
cord is far too short and is made of that crappy elastic that Dragon
is far too fond of using, I'm sure that there is a better cotton
cord available that could have been used instead. It would have only
served to enhance the figure - penny pinching? I'm not sure.
Overall:
I'm not sure that I am altogether happy with this figure. Yes the
head is a good resemblance to a well-known British actor but it
really lacks anything that says 'buy me!' and is really very meagre
on the equipment front.
Get one if you need it to
complete your collection.
