The skin tones on the box art are the best I've seen in long a long time.

Grüß Di' Bergkameraden,

Here are some Gebirgsjäger portraits from my collection showing a variety of scarves being worn that you can use as a reference for this figure's scarf.

Berg Heil,

Patrick

[housecarl]

his figures all look like the same guy
boring as hell

That's why they're consistently brilliant,
and probably some of the best busts on the market.
But that's just my opinion,
Carl.

Oh well - the boring posts on Young releases are not so exciting as well. Given that this nice review was posted by Guy on Sept 17, 2012 since then all has been said repeatedly about a certain style, similarities, themes etc. Re-posting is boring/whoring for attention.

 

[Gaudin]

Here we go again.

Only revive the thread if there is something new, interesting or important to tell, I'd say

 

[Tommi]

Brilliant and thank you Guy, I bought it
Cheers
