Review: Dr. Figure Seal in Baghdad
18
The figure:
The body is a BBI 3.5 rip-off, so no surprises here. I believe they used a different body for their Heat figures.

The headsculpt is the Brad Pitt from the Seven figure. Decent mold, sub-par paint apps. The go-tee looks alright, but mine had splotches all over.

The outfit:
The shirt is the black CIA shirt that has been available as a stand alone before. Snug fitting in the cuffs with reinforced elbows, it's not bad. The pants have velcro cargo pockets and usable front and back pockets. The material is to thin and of TUS quality. Average.
The boots are a knock-off of the Hot Toys boots that came with the Contractor. These are the same with nut as good paint. There are also a pair of socks.

The long white shirt is pretty good, but not as good the Hot Toys version. At the least it could have been a better color than white, but that does allow it to be dyed. It has to waist level pockets and a button on the neck.
![]()
The vest is really nice, except for the velcro closure. It is a nice change from the usual photo vest. The shemagh is a triangle, not a full square. It is a nice print, but too stiff. It does have a nicefringed edge that is sewn off so as not to unravel.

Equipment:
The chest rig is average. Velcro here as well, with phoney glued on buttons (not all straight on mine) and metal fasteners.

The camera bag is pretty nice. Working zippers, side pocket, shoulder strap, there is even a piece that velcros the carry handles together.
![]()
The hip pack is average, with a working zipper. The knee pad is ho-hum, with nothing covering the back of the velcro strap.
![]()
The cameras are real nice. They are both Nikon digitals, one with the lens glued on, the other with two interchangable lenses and a flash.
![]()
The laptop is pretty good. It resembles a Panasonic toughbook and has two different screens. There is also a map of Baghdad.
![]()
The other small accesories are really nice as well. The Oakley gloves and the sunglasses are previous releases and are excellent. There is a Pda, walkie talkie, voice recorder, lighter and a pack of smokes. These are all pretty detailed for such small molds.

Weapons:
The AK is sub par. I think it is based on the TUS model. The clips are horrible. They are rubbery and don't fit the well right. The .45 is one piece (I think the clip is supposed to come out, but I couldn't get it out) and lacking detail. The serpa holster and the knife are previous releases and are excellent (except for attaching the serpa to a vest ).

Overall this is an ok set. It is better if you don't have the stuff that DR Figure has released before. If you are going to get it go to Store rooms as they have it for $20 less than else where.

Here's 1:1 instructions. Just play with it till you get it right. I duggest wetting the shemagh first so it lays better when done.
