This is the first of four figures I received from Stormtroopers LTD for review. I have long admired the sculpting talents of Stuart Hale and his ability to bring us figures of all different eras of history. I love his ability to have a figure look cold......without any paint.

The figures arrived in a large white sturdy cardboard box with the small parts sealed inside a clear plastic bag and the torso and parts bag surrounded and covered with styro-foam chips to protect the figure during shipping.

This kit has 8 resin parts for completition of a MG42 Gunner of WWII.

The above photographs show the various sides and poses of the main torso. The attention to detail, the realism of the fur gives this figure the attitude of being cold on the winter front.

Conclusion:
This being the first figure from Stormtroopers I have ever reviewed I find this to be an exceptional kit with excellent sculpting and detail. Highly recommended for those interested in WWII.​
