Thanks for the review, Brian.
I would, however, like to see more close-up photos of the parts though - 3 photos for a review is a bit on the slim side in my opinion. Apart from that, a fair review

And... Congrats on breaking your figure review cherry

Regarding the uniform, Red Army stuff isn't my predominant area of interest but IIRC the padded uniform was a winter uniform - sure wouldn't want to be wearing one of those during a Russian summer!
Once again, fair review and congrats on your first figure review.
