I like Pvt. Ekiguchi for the
A) Simple head sculpt - the better to army build. 8)
B) Removable clip on his machine gun. :shock:
C) No problems with the gear staying on that guy.

Also he is just a great figure, nothing too unique like the mortar boots or bandana - just soldier. :wink:

I gotta agree with digger for the same reasons, Pvt. Ekiguchi is one of my favorite figures. My top 10 figures that I own would have to be:

1. Major Von Schnitzel (21st Century)
2. Captain Gordon (BBi)
3. Sgt. Digger MacHugh (21st Century)
4. Sherman Tanker (BBi)
5. Pvt. Ekiguchi (21st Century)
6. 101st Airborne Screaming Eagle (BBi)
7. Lt. Over the Top Alexander (21st)
8. Lance Crp. Mayer (21st)
9. Cpl. Mansfield (21st)
10. Cpl. Jennings (21st)

I can't remember which figure was which :oops: My favorite of the Japanese is the Machine Gunner as he has a cool weapon, the optional head-gear (helmet or headband), pack, and the hanging bags. I also like the seargent figure with the cloth hat and the basic figure with the rifle & bayonet and handgrenade.
