It will be interesting to see how this figure turns out with the number of finishing options. Due to all of the display options have a small selection of weapons been provided?

Hello, Darren. I can not understand your comment deeply, my mother language is Spanish. But as far as I can understand, maybe I can answer that the figure is delivered with Stg44, from a 3D file and very detailed. The Mg42, is an option of our catalog, but could be anything, a Panzerfaust, a shovel, a grenade launcher, etc. As Mario said, the concept is versatility. Dragon Models would say 25 in 1.

I was asking if you have included more than just the STG and it appears you do.

I like the concept and the technology that it represents but I find the pose rather stiff and when posed with the MG42 somewhat unlikely in that the angle that the figure holds the weapon would put strain on his arm in short order as the arm is held higher than necessary. You have to remember that the MG42 weighed over 25 lbs loaded and that that would really drag your arm down if you held it at that angle for long. Yah, I know "Picky picky" but that's how you get better by addressing these points.

Thank you very much for your comment Frank. Totally agree with you that very little time would hold the MG42 in that position. Carrying the Stg44 ammunition cartridges, it is visually certain that it is not a machinegunner and that, in the hypothetical case, he would only be holding it for a short time to his specialist partner. Mg is just one way of representing versatility for multiple options by having bare hands, and she was the closest we had on the table.

Jaime, thank you, as I have hoped for figures with more multipose type concepts...firing arm options etc.
