A few images of the figure, then some observations...
the box, exactly what you think it is.

The figure is large, detailed, and accurate (to my eye). The breakdown is very conventional in that there is the helmet, head and neck, torse, left arm, right arm, both sans hands, legs joined at the hip, and connect to the torso at the belt line, then there are the shoes, which join the legs under the trouser leg, a natural join and hidden from view once completed.
The rifle is a single cast with hands in-situ, there is a radio antenna and a boom mike microphone, the NVG is broken down into mount, frame, tubes, battery as you'd expect - no wiring.
There are several add on items including the pistol, first aid pouch, dump bag, backpack, and four rifle mags in pouches.
The vest carries two pistol mags, the PTT switch for the radio, radio, rifle mags, and the CAT - combat applied tourniquet. Unlike images of KSK that I have seen, this guy does not carry a knife.
The cast is well done and, on first blush, has no obvious air bubbles. The locating lugs are very generous and large, and dry fitting a couple, vary between positive and snug, see the dump bag on the left hip, to needing work and filler, look at the torso / leg gap.
Comparing this to the other figure, it is far and away a better figure, with sharper details, but still soft in places, example the straps around the legs and the CAT on the vest.
This is a different figure to the other release in that the rifle is new, with a fore grip not a vertical grip, the face mask is below the nose, not across it, and the fit out is different, this guy has a backpack.
In summary, definitely recommended with no qualification. In fact, I am considering a second figure to paint in Flecktarn, as this will be completed in tropentarn to compliment the other figure on the workbench.
