Just found on ebay, after receiving my balance invoice from Giantoy.
What do you guys think (about final product sculpt and painting, not the price [emoji16]) ?

Just got my invoice from KGH for the DID Miller, so should be shipping soon.
My captain Miller from DID arrived from KG Hobby this week.
I like the film ok but not a huge war movie guy SPR and apocalypse now are probably the only war movies I?d be into owning figures for and it felt wrong not to have a Tom Hanks in my collection and I never felt Forrest Gump really felt right as a figure TBH.
All that and I thought it looked really really good and it was a good price.
It?s not my first DID figure do I?m familiar with the quality they have on the accessories especially all real metal and wood and quality all around.
The head I think is the best Hanks I?ve seen( not Forrest I mean) and although he looks a bit more aged i do think it beats out Inigos effort from a few years ago. Having said that the paint, while passable could be a lot better but this is the first DID sculpt that seems to have better skin texture as I?ve often find their approach is to give the heads texture by poking a lot of holes into it.
The helmet is nice but it?s too big. It?s not grossly oversized like the facepool one but it?s not as nice as the helmet iniqo sculpted even if it meant sacrificing the metal helmet I think I can live with it but if any military experts here know if a better scaled helmet from any other figure please let me know.
I think the outfit is pretty bad though. Mostly the it?s far more inaccurate than the facepool one. I think the body is not so good so a swap will help fill out the pants and make the whole thing look less doll like, but the main issue I have was the field jacket and assault vest. Not only are the colors totally inaccurate the facepool ones looks a lot better. I thought about contacting that Japanese guy who hand makes everything but not wanting to put a ton more money into this I felt that facepool way was better and picked up those two items loose.
When they arrives I?ll mod them a bit and weather and tweak the whole outfit and I?ll also repaint the head. I?ll post pictures when it?s done.

DiD can still not make a decent body I guess.
I got a lot of DiD figs and 3reich. Accessories, sculpts and tailoring are usually spot on but the bodies they use a pretty trash.
Was really tempted by this fig, still dont know if I should pull the trigger.
