Black Dog has released two new figures onto the market of a female soldier and a War journalist.

The female figure is well done, but a little ridiculous IMO

Got a little hope when I read female soldier, but it disappeared as soon as I saw the pictures. I wonder if most figure makers think that all female soldiers do is run around in their underwear...

I'm not sure i'd label the figure as a female soldier, she could instead be used for a visiting Play Girl, Page 3 girl etc scenario

I have to agree. I was hoping for something modern. Well, it's modern but I don't think she is wearing a regulation bra.

I guess She'll be good for a fantasy-futuristic-end-of-days kind of project

Lighten up guys... "something for every taste"

Really a shame that all the US Army female soldiers I met wore the IOTV vest.
But maybe she is from Mobile Infantry and about to board the Roger Young.

P.S. I guess she was inspired by that busty blonde riding a JDAMS bomb.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh....yes!
Nice model, but absolutely not covering the name.
One can discuss if Black Dog not should have invested in some resin models, covering "real" US female soldiers, since many of them fulfill important duties which could be shown in a dio. Drivers, medical staff, what ever. And if they do, do not over size them in certain areas.
But, before I start a complete discussion: a nice gimmick, this subject.
Now we should wait for some ladies in resin.

Guys,

Personally I think this is the best kit out there lol its simple maths to me, combining my two favourite things in life, women and models, I will be getting this, even if its just so im doing a model that's abit more light hearted than my others lol

Holy cow! Those are some pretty big bombs. You sure could hurt some people with those things!

And I agree the figure is obviously inspired by the picture Hisham posted. I guess there's nothing wrong with it, but calling the piece "Female Soldier" ... come on.

Hi guys,

hate to spoil the fun , but had anybody noticed that the lady needs a leg surgery? Hmmm, I guess we all just looked in her eyes?

As long as the eyes are good, anything else is fixable
