I wish they would do that with Wade (SPR). I was waiting on DID, but that never materialized.

I got the original FP009 Wardaddy sculpt, body and hands, so changed the head on my bash and gave him the gloved hands:
My main reason for getting the sculpt was that it was designed for the helmet, which has quite a narrow fit so the ears need to be tucked in.
I'd already swapped out the Facepool Sledge Hammer sculpt, because he looked too pale for North Africa, and was using DID's Joerg (Steamboat Willy) as he reminded me a little of Humphrey Bogart (Sgt. Joe Gunn in Sahara, 1943). However, the helmet didn't seem to fit quite right.
So now he's much closer to Facepool's Wardaddy, though with the issues I had with the figure remedied: shoulder holster and boots.
(According to Wardaddy's back story he and his crew had actually served in the North African campaign since Operation Torch in November 1942).

I just picked up Wardaddy, I was on the fence with him when he first came out! When I get time I'm going to heavily weather him. Looks way too clean for my liking.
Only things I dont like is the very obvious velcro on the shirt and the collars of the jacket want to sit up high and wont flatten down so I may need to iron the jacket and make a crease there to make it look more natural.
very nice figure overall though. I also got the DID original one from 2016 on ebay and he's on the way minus the original box and the metal STG44.
