Facepool 1/6 101st Airborne Platoon Leader (Band of Brothers Richard Winters)

That weathering is amazing for being so subtle.

I asked Facepool - should be another Band of Brothers figure coming in 2Q next year. Don’t know if that means reveal or production or whatever but they told me on IG that there’s more coming.

 

[FlyAndFight]

That is fantastic news. The possibilities are quite large.

If I had to guess, these would be the next figures, in no particular order:
- Nixon
- Randleman
- Buck Compton
- Lipton
- Guarnere
- Col. Sink
- Spiers

Personally, I would get the entire Easy Company!

 

[RandomHero]

Spiers and Nixon would be the next two I’d like to see, for sure. I’d love if they did both at the same time to flank Winters.

Others I’d like to see them make:
Compton
Lipton
Luz
Guarnere
Randleman
Malarkey
Doc Roe
Shifty Powers

Plenty of other guys I would buy too. I hope they do a run of a bunch of the squad.

 

[BuddyGus]

This is great news. I am in for every character as long as they are making them. I had the privilege of visiting the Bastogne battlefield and Luxembourg cemetery (where a few Easy Company men are buried) about two years ago. One of the absolute best and most humbling experiences of my life.

I hope we hear something soon!

Just got around to getting this one up. Was I the only one to not get a relaxed left hand? I can't lay the rifle at all as I only have closed left hands. Or did they just not include any?

GSoldiers were late to review this one:

Facepool are so slow to bring out their figures

 

[Stryker2011]

Amazingly, they’ve done more Saving Private Ryan, and yet nothing more from this which was better overall.

 

[RandomHero]

Yeah, I kind of hope DID starts doing Band of Brothers after they finish the Private Ryan team.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I hope so too.

What is difficult to understand is that DiD, Facepool and even Soldier Story are all covering SPR at the same time and saturating the market. That may be better for us, as we get to choose which one we like the best and prices should remain competitive but we may possibly miss out on other licenses, in the process.

This figure sucked when it was released and it still sucks now watching that video, the old 2011 DiD figure still looks better.

I agree DiD should at least redo Winters and judging by their track record of doing 2.0s I'm sure it will be done in the future.

I think this may be my first US figure purchase...

 

[ArtDamage]

Looks pretty fantastic so far. Not very accurate I don't think, but cool gear.

 

[FlyAndFight]

The outfit/uniform is not accurate to the "Breaking Point" episode but SO glad to see another BoB figure being worked on.

HUH!?!? Why do you say that?

 

[The Iron Koob]

Surprised we haven't had more of these guys yet. Nixon, Guarnere...
