Nice figure...! Was this figure sculpted by Jeff Shiu?
It appears to have a different style to it than his previous
figures....

Yes, it appears he/they are 'inspired' by Warriors and Kirin 200mm figures. Their MG-42 machine gunner is a dead ringer for the well known 200mm Kirin Kharkov MG gunner, and this one is VERY similiar to the original Rosengrant 200mm FG figure that was not released in its original form, but became, with a few changes, the Warriors 200mm Ardennes FJ figure carrying a STG-44. This original version (shown) can be found on e-bay,as a recast kit.
I thought the 200mm kit had an unusual pose, and this smaller version even more so.

I meant that the sculpting style is different than his previous figures...
It almost looks like it's been done by a different artist. Just an observation!
Nevertheless, a nice figure!

I immediately thought of the Rosengrant figure when I looked at this figure as well. It seems to work a bit more convincingly with the original, inspiration pose than this one however.

Great figure!, it is nice one but I dont understand why he separate body it this way?.

I am pretty sure you great one full body. I think he is just showing you front and back in the picture so you can see all the detail. So it is not a body cut in half down the center but a full body.

Thanks
