Maybe you should be Radar instead of Razor.

The figure looks nice but I am getting tired of Paras. How about some regular US Army like series 1 was? That said, this guy does look generic enough to blend in with the regualr troops and with all that gear, the possibilites are many.

he doesn't look a thing like Rommel, i notice.

Nice haircut. What kind of coat is that? They had short leather jackets for Wehrmacht officers?

Cool, I like the All American much more with all his goodies, but I know people were asking for another German officer so there you go...

I rather guys who are ready for a fight but I can see why they went with Ludwick.
The two outfits in one thing is a nice bonus..

I'm lukewarm on the American, but the German looks great.

Those Germans do look great.

I agree the German officer looks great! I'm really excited about all the new 21c German figures, a little less so about the Americans. I guess that's because we have the very nice BBI US Infantry and Paratrooper figures, but no Germans with the new, more realistic, articulation. The new 21c US figures do come with some nice accessories, though!

The German officer sure would look good standing next to the Admiral ME-262 model.

Agree, the new officer screams for customs as well. The detached hat and coat really open things up.

These new guys look great. I will load up on them as usual.

Still bothered by the right hands on the figures - neither of the right hands for this German can hold a gun

Other than that, great looking figure.

Great stuff, but if all this new stuff comes out @ the same time Im going to have to take out a second mortgage.

The German Officer looks like he'll fit right in standing in the back of my staff car. I'm happy. Bob

I wish I had a set of the BBI US infantry. I can't find those anywhere online.

On topic, the German is very nice!

Thank you Razor! My set of XD marines from Badcat just came in today. Great store btw. I saw the BBI guys but they had no link or info at the time I was there so I figured they were out of production. Thanks again!

Hmmm - I don't know. So far I like the new figures, but I think they aren't exactly great. The german officer doesn't even have a pistol, and a long coat would look much better than the short one. And the name Ludwick is wrong. There isn't any name like Ludwick in german. Ludwig would be correct. I don't understand why the US troopers always have tons of assesories but the germans haven't.

My point exactly. I can figure out way the German figures (more popular in my area BTW) get short changed ether. I hope they correct the name before the release, and adding some extra gear and a weapon with the these woundn't hurt ether. Future release Germans should have more gear too.

Teller mines and 'tater-mashers come to mind as extras I would like.

Or, maybe I am so hungry I just can't help but thinking about a big plate of salt potatos. I hate faculty meeting days.

The Germans sell better in my area better also but I help with that would be nice with more stuff with them ammo cans a new MG guy would be nice.

Who cares about the name? Call him whatever you want...perhaps they had to be sure they were using a fake name..and you know German's are going to sell with extra gear or not...think of the most popular of the BOBII - it was the guy with cool camo who came with nada! Hopefully the next German at least comes with a weapon though

They should have thrown in a pistol for poor Ludwick..

Potato Mashers I have out the ying-yang from S1 and Action 18..Quixote just drop me a PM...
