That is a very top notch figure. The SS as a whole looked down on these guys though for the most part. Even Himmler & especially Hitler didn't like the Baltic countries serving in the SS, but they were always short of manpower! Only real exception were the Croatians that were excepted, the Muslims were practically hated!

 

Never knew that but is the hs supposed to be based on that guy with the glasses that was working with Staffenburg and got shot in the end in Valkyrie?

 

This looks to be a fantastic figures and very unexpected. He looks to come with a ton of gear and the HS look really good as well. I may very well have to pick this one up. I think the C96 is a very cool addition.

Reminds me of the Dr. from Downfall. Also in Inglorious Basterds and Valkyrie. Christian Berkel

Sure does

 

Needs more gear. :dizzy

 

 

Thats who i was thinking of as well. Definnetly a Berkel likeness there. Get the nude, white PJs and youhave him as the Luftwaffe Major from The Experiment

 

oh my... the HS is amazing :wideyes

 

 

Exact likeness of anyone "real or imagined" aside, that is maybe the most realistic looking headsculpt I've ever seen! Like that Mauser pistol, too.

 

Very nice, DID! I will definitely pick one up.
Please do an improved Jude Law as part of an upcoming release.

 

Nice looking figure. I love that DID come out with different uniform configurations with their figures. Stunningly detailed headsculpt!

 

I have to admit the deluxe DID sculpts were mighty impressive, as was my T Becker.

The HS on this guy looks too good for me to miss!

CHEERS!

 

yeah all definitely get this one when it comes out!

 

THis figure is great.

 

Wow! I can't believe he looks sooooo real! How can anyone resist?:clap:clap:clap

 

Looking at it closely... there's enough here for TWO unique figures.... just need a second body and HS.

 

Cant help it but I really like dids headsculpts.

 

Great figure and a unique choice for a SS figure.

 

Another headsculpt with STUBBLE!!!!!....FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:brickwall

The sculpt looks amazing, but it CAN'T be used for any dress uniforms,...and whilst i know nothing (or very little) about German uniforms, he most likey wouldn't have a day's growth whilst wearing this service dress uniform either,...unless in the field.

I'm sorry, but i don't like sculpts with stubble,...but i do love the sculpt, it LOOKS REAL!!:wideyes


Neil.

 

Another headsculpt with STUBBLE!!!!!....FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:brickwall

If it's anything like the real hair sculpts they made a while back they were using a water soluble glue - you can probably just wash the "stubble" off.

 

Oh come on they can't possibly expect me to keep up with this stuff! The HS is great and I'm getting enough stuff for 2 figures again... how can I resist?

 

Wow, what the heck...I dunno if DiD can keep it together for the final release, but dang that HS on the prototype is photo-real! It's too good to be true....

 

The last 4 sculpts (Zatsev, Konig, Millers, both Becker heads) have all been AMAZING.. The deluxe Montogomery and Guderian were great too.

Also, Medic Roe, Stauffenberg and Prt. Daniel where great but the plastic used on the new ones has better look cuz of slight translucency

 

Yes, those were all good too, a little less so with the final mass market product.

I have to say that this proto HS is pretty crazy with the realism, though. If the finished product is really that good, I'm going to break my protocol and buy it (I don't normally collect WWI/II stuff for financial reasons--it'd just be too much).

 

I think of all the military figure makers... DiD is the closest to Hot Toys in terms of HS quality.

Solider Story makes great figures... but HS are not THIS good.

 

Ah, now I can finally do a Tommy Cooper bash.
