ICM is working on another large scale figure in 1/16th scale and this time it is the US Military Special Forces getting some coverage with a Delta Force Operator.

The outfit does not look right for the 1993 era.

The 3-color DCU was just being issued at the time of Op Gothic Serpent, Somalia '93. Spec Ops got them first, then everybody else.

Delta was wearing modified the 3-color DCUs. They added upper arm pockets to them.



Rangers were wearing a mix of 3-color DCUs and 6-color Chocolate Chip DBDU.



Regular Army (10th MTN) were still wearing 6-color Chocolate Chip DBDU.

Not convinced it's just an angle thing with the pose...

I agree, his pose doesn't look right to me either. Al

The reason I thought it may just be the angle is if you look at the second of the three images the stance looks right and so I do think it is a perception issue.

I don't know. Looks like his diet of MRE's is hitting him pretty hard, maybe that's just me.

Note the most natural stance I agree and could be the result of being taken out of context.

Context is the key here I agree. Stick him beside a shot-up wall/vehicle for a visual cue and it will probably look perfectly natural and normal. I am also sure I'd take a similar pose ( or worse ) if in the line of fire...

He will probably get a few companions later just like the SWAT guys of ICM and than the anatomy would not look so odd when there is interaction between the figures (or let's hope so).
