A useful figure from Warriors of a surendering Arab, but it could actually be used in a variety of situations.

Vinnie- I have recently added this figure to my stash and must say it is of very high quality and thorough in detail.
Also, the pose could also be interpeted as a greeting couldn't it?
cheers for positive actions!

it also doesn't really need to be depicted surrendering. It's arms could be raised in surprise or frustration even.


Or giving a speech.

Or doing the Hokey-pokey......


But talk about cliche dress though - he doesn't look like any of the "arabs" I've seen on television during OIF coverage.

More like one of the three wise men visiting the baby Jesus. I think it would have been very easy for the producer to have added a lot of value to this fig by giving it some contemporary accessories like a mobile phone or sunglasses, or even a briefcase.

Got to agree with you both, he would look very out of place in most OIF dio's. Most insurgents we see on TV are wearing baseball caps, black T-shirts, jeans etc, this chap looks very 'retro'. Then again the set doesnt say hes for OIF. The head looks good and it would be ncie if they made a head set wearing those scarfs.
