The figure does look like a new figure or one that never got released in the US. It looks like an Bauer figure that has Otto's color set of legs to kneel.
Interesting.

Basically a repackaged custom, not very hard to do but they could have been original and created a custom card as well. I have seen plenty of repacked custom Star Wars figures as well as custom packaging to match. I belive there are even some online companies that will custom package any action figure you may have.

These are the two others I´ve bought from the same seller.
Think they look very nice.
Maybe combined FoV-Dragon and 21st-Figures :?:
Anyway they will look nice at diorama.
Thanks for the infos.

Hey Crazy K,

Translation.

Wir haben gehurt, gekämpft und gesoffen, des Führers Mühlen verbraucht, sind auf dem Zahnfleisch gekrochen, doch haben wir uns teuer verkauft.

means:
We have whored, we´ve fought and boozed, worn out the Führers planes, crawled on our gum, but after all we sold us brav.


Maybe not 100% excactly but it stands for the horrible losses which the men of the Jagdgeschwader 300 (Rammjäger) had to stand in the endtime of the airwar over Germany/Europe
I´ve got two books about the JG 300 and you can see pics of young boys as beginning pilotes and after several months the same boys look like old men with dead eyes. The worsed experience was a young pilot flying approx. 8 minutes until he died in combat. 50 hours education and 8 minutes to death. Much to little education, so this guys were used as gun food.

The fig from the first link has me scratching my head

Well spotted Gouchy
These figures can be found as new stock on a few German sites
http://www.48specialmodels.com/d-seiten/d02neu.html

Translation
Today, just arrived: A cargo German soldiers, WWII, Scale 1 / 18, by 21st Century.
This should be either pretty much "the last of your kind." The supply of this is limited and therefore all should still stock up quickly with these figures, because it is not yet known if and when there are new / other there!
These 5 figures come with different outfits.
If you are a closer look at these, will remember that one with several pieces of different design, by individual parts, many share ausehender different types of produce can!

I like a couple of the paintjobs. The stubbley look and things, and the camo trousers with the green-grey tunic. I like that a lot.

And the MP40 guy actually looks like he was made for MP40 ammo pouches. Wow... I haven't seen that since, well, the Fal's I think. I'd buy a set just to get the 3 guys with camo stuff on I think.

very peculiar showing up so long after the demise of 21c and that none were to be seen in the monkey depot purge. Euro exclusive figures? Unlikely.

Maybe TKO can shed some light on what these figures are....maybe they were never to be released but someone other than 21c has, using 21c packaging??

I place an order for a set tonight.
56 Euro for 5 figures is a pretty stiff price to pay, but I really wanted this set. I'll post some detailed pics when I receice them.

Are 56 Euro including sending costs to USA???
Found a seller here in Germany which offers the figures for 6,99 Euro each.

Love to hear and see that the hardly missed Kingtiger would be possible soon.

I received my figures from the Outpost today. I'm a little disapointed with the quality. Here are the issues, you may want to know before pulling the trigger on buying these.

1st Issue, the Camo, on two of these figures, is a very poor interpretation, of WWII German Camo. The only figure with an accurate scheme, is the figure, with a splinter Smock, but this figures, paint is to shiny.

Next issue, the paint quality is very poor, after assembling the five samples, I have, I had a small pile of paint chips lying on the table.

3rd issue figures seem unfinished. There was still a lot of plastic flashing left on the parts. I had to cut little tips of plastic off of the ends of the shoulder sockets, in order for the arrms to completely plur into their sockets.

4th Issue, the gear does not fit on properly. All of the peg holes are too shallow. The MP-40 used was molded to have a foldable stock, but the stock is missing. And the MP-40 Pouches, are both left side pouches.

There were some reedeeming qualties. The paint aps on the gear and weapons is very nice, and seems more accurate. One of the helmets, has a passable Camo scheme. The two figures, that have the grey trousers, have very nicely painted boots. And finally the heads, with the 5 Oclock shadow, are nice change.

Overall, I don't think they were worth, what I paid for them. My money would have been better spent on a Pickelhaube Kit.

I hope All-Go will have better quality than this.
