This is an amazing piece of plastic. Those Chinese really know how to do things. If you look at the closeup, you can see reflections in the guy's irises, as well as the amazingly lifelike stubble. Sure is a far cry from your old-time GI Joe. (Click on pictures to enlarge).
You should see the wardrobe that came with him -- coats, boots, hats, belts, rucksacks, alternate hands etc. Totally worth the $90 or so I paid for him. Can't wait to get to page 2 of the adventure!
Why is his gun wrapped in gauze?
ReplyDeleteHmm . .. that's a good question. Maybe it hid the glinting off metal that could have given his position away. Maybe it stopped his fingers sticking to the frozen metal parts in the winter . . . maybe it cushioned the hardness of the rifle when he had to lug it everywhere.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was just a fuzzy camouflage effort . . . but I wondered that myself.
I shall take it upon myself to check it out!
Wow, he is very, very cool!
ReplyDelete...primative silencer? :)
I shall look into it. Maybe it was a "sweater" against the cold!
