Another 1:6 scale figure which is to say GI Joe size. BBI was making high quality figures in the 200s. Currently they are only making 1:18 scale figures.
Thought this would go well with my motorcycle and side car set. But what I really need is the Ultimate Soldier Motorcycle with side car set. It is really neat. But then again this figure is a bit higher quality than the Ultimate Soldier set. But the quality is a bit too high as I can't get the straps quite into place on the magazine pouch. I think I need 1/6th scale fingers.
To give an idea of the detail it comes with 4 magazines (don't call them clips). One for the MP40 and the other three go in the pouch. Other companies would just make one for the gun and just mold the others into the ammo pouch. It also comes with a pith helmet for that Afrika look.
For some exciting trivia for those who like that sort of thing only 1 in 20 Germans of the WWII era could drive a car but many or most could drive a motorcycle. Thus all the motorcycles and motorcycles with side cars.
Rommel's men wore such heavy clothing despite being in Africa. Love the detail on this soldier, including his fabulous gun & equipment

This is great!! He came with quite a bit of gear.
This has some serious detail, that's the nicest 1/6 mp-40 I've seen. Excellent item.
Thank you very much Newfld. Well it did get cold at night. The British 8th Army wore shorts.

I think I was lucky to get one gi joe when I was 10 or so. This one is great, never heard of them before, He looks like he came in to investigate with his trench, Love your collection which I wish I had.
Thank you very much Phil. This is my first from this brand.

MP40. I want one. Someone in my family plundered my GI Joe collection while I was serving overseas.
