Review
As usual the figure is well made and put together and
has some new items. The main one being the Artillery Luger pistol and
holster. Also the boots, binoculars and figures hands appear to have
been made from a softer more rubbery plastic that has more give in it.
This is better for the hands and boots I think. However I have some
likes and some disappointments for this figure.
First the likes; the head sculpt is outstanding. The
uniform is well made and put together, and I like the metal helmet and
leather liner. The officer cap is well done and appears to be a new,
slightly smaller, moulding.
Now the disappointments; the lower pockets on the
tunic are sewn on representations and have been done better in the past.
The
main disappointment for me however is the artillery Luger holster;
although it is a good attempt it just does not work for me. It is made
from brown leather like material and comprises several separate parts
joined by a shoulder strap.
There are no illustrations as to how it is supposed
to go together so it is a matter of guesswork. Although it is an unusual
piece I will most likely replace it with another pistol and holster,
probably a Walther or standard Luger.
Overall: A nice
figure for your collection |
