Hope some of you get round to posting a few pictures!

Looks like he'll be here Monday. Possibly today as it's regular post and not Parcelforce.

Hong Kong Mail Tracking failed to update from "being processed", but Royal Mail shows the parcel as on the way to my local post office.

Thankfully Kit didn't write "*** Toy" on the customs declaration.

Nice box...delightfully non-PC.

Figure looks like a bit of a mixed bag.

The pleather's the kind that feels stretchy, like VTS uses but thicker.

The masked sculpt has a fabric strap and buckle at the back, but the cap barely fits on it. You just have to place it on top once the figure's in position, otherwise it'll slide straight off.


The accessories are also pretty mixed in terms of quality:

The P.08 Luger has a working action. It detaches completely at the front end, but you can slide it back so it's possible to pose it in firing mode.

The magazine looks removable, but is wedged tight at the moment.


The hard shell Luger holster has a fake buckle and magnetic closure.

The SS dagger is plastic, but the twin blades are metal.

The swastika on the armband is just a sticker. Maybe so it can be easily removed for display in certain countries.




...

The next problem is that the shirt collar is too narrow for the neck, so that it won't close, therefore showing too much of the Knight's Cross ribbon.

Though I have found another black shirt - from the old 21st Century villain - which has a wider neck and a popper fastening to keep it closed.

This works well, especially after cutting the sleeves off to aid putting the tunic on.

It's okay for what it is, once futzed. After changing the shirt. And after re-gluing the button that fell off the cap. And gluing the holster closed plastic to plastic because even superglue wouldn't keep magnets attached to the plastic.

While the Allgemeine SS uniform in leather is accurate to the film, it's a strange thing to get your head around looking at the figure.

I tried the overcoat on him briefly, but it looked too bulky with all that leather.

A pair of DiD officer boots would improve the figure, but I just have to convince one of my other figures to give them up.

Thanks for the pics, mine is arriving today from Kit, looks decent for $130 I suppose.

Visually he does look quite striking on display.

I did try the DiD officer boots, but the leather breeches are too thick to get the boots over.

Aww man, that's too bad. Yeah I'm pretty excited to have him with Hellboy, should look pretty good together.

My only Hellboy and Abe are the Sideshow versions. Be good if this company, or another, were to make their own versions, preferably with jointed bodies.

Did no one else pick this up? I just got invoiced from the store to pay and that he will be shipping soon.

I know it's a pretty niche character but wow it seems like hardly anyone picked this up?

I'm calling it now super rare destined to become a grail (or not) lolol
