I think a lot of the debate about this figure stems from the fact that non collectors of onesixth still view them as toys, the inference being that toys are for kids, and in this case a Hitler figure would be totally inappropriate. Personally I would not waste my money on the figure, he may have served in World War 1 as an active soldier but all he did in WWII was parade around inciting and encouraging Hate and then committting suicide. the fact that there is a one sixth figure of him reminds me a little of the Movie American Beauty where the son finds the Nazi plate in his fathers den. It is shocking but not unexpected.

Well and that just goes back to the whole notion of adult collectible action figures. I think if you understand the collectible market (especially 1/6 military) then figures like this aren't a big issue.
But I do think that discussion about them is healthy and a good by product of challenging products.

The Daily Mail are a conservative paper
and at a Guess Id say they are serious they are not reknowned for their jokes
Daily Star or Sport id have to agree but not the Mail
those arguing against Hitler not being made cause he isnt a "movie" figure well . . . he's been played in a few films by a few actors so that arguement doesnt wash
By this same token all Nazi army figures shouldnt be made ?
He was the head of the Nazi regime ? and most if not all of those have been made
and I dont think we'd be up in arms if they made a 12 inch Gengis Khan now would we ?
He murdered more than Hitler so did Joseph Stalin and I doubt theyd be up in arms over him either !
They were going to release Stalin and Churchill as well,but for whatever reason did nt.
Shame i would ve loved a 1/6 Winston Spencer Churchill.The way things are going a lot of the next generation are going to grow thinking he s a loveable old dog that sells car insurance.
Wonder if that dude was serious with his"Whats a Hitler" comment earlier?

No- the "whats a ..." hit multiple threads. I've seen it around 3 or 4 times. I think they're just having fun.
By the way my wife and I home school our kids and my oldest (10) does not play cowboys and indians(seeing he is 1/4 cherokee) but he has killed a lot of nazis.

If I had a definitive Captain America, I would love to have the Hitler figure to reproduce some of those WWII comic cover scenes.

Totally agreed! The daily mail is a paper for the wives of fascist dictators and those over 90 who think Britain should still be ruling the world!!!!!!!!!

I have Drastic's version as well:
https://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_022502.htm
Along with their FDR (who is outstanding):
https://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_122702.htm
And even their Custer (who's damn good too):
https://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_011003a.htm
Neither Hitler or FDR were figures I would have bought (DP sent them to me to review), but once I had them, I could have easily seen myself picking up Churchill and Stalin to complete the set. The quality was quite good for 6 years ago.
DP stopped making their own figures and now are involved as designers and manufacturing reps on other toys. The owner recently worked with FOX on Cleatus, for example.
I don't think it's about them being 'toys', but rather that at a subconscious level we still think of them as 'idols'. We worshipped small idols of our Gods for so long, that it's still part of our assumption that this is the case with even these figures. Just look in popular culture - if you want to imply that a teenager is unstable, fill his room with action figures, models and statues of various monsters. He therefore must idolize them, and hench, is sick. Same thing with Hitler - if you have the figure, you must be idolizing him. Obviously that's not true, but it's so ingrained in our psyche that it's hard to get folks to stop assuming it.

Good point Michael, hadn't really thought about the idolatry angle. I have to say I was pretty bummed when DP stopped making figures... they really seemed poised to do some great work.
Although at this point it seems like DiD is filling the role of high-end historical figures.
