Basic Figure out of the box. The battledress in digital camouflage patterns was first adopted by the Canadian Forces (CADPAT), followed by the United States Marine Corps (MARPAT MCCUU). The USMC were already wearing the digital camouflage uniforms in 2002.

The head sculpt looks a lot like Christian Bale (he of Batman and Terminator Salvation fame). This head sculpt preceded all the other Bale HS that were to come.

His weapon, the M249 SAW. The M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) is an American version of the FN Minimi, a light machine gun manufactured by the Belgian company FN Herstal (FN). The M249 is manufactured in the United States and is widely used by the US Armed Forces.

The M249 Para is a compact version of the gun with a shorter barrel and sliding aluminum buttstock, so called because of its intended use by airborne troops. It is much shorter and considerably lighter than the regular M249 at 893 mm (35 in) long and 7.1 kg (16 lb) in weight. It also has the M145, ELCAN Tactical Weapon Sight - these optical sights allow for greater accuracy and rapid engagement of targets.

IMHO This has to be one of the nicer 1/6 helmets to be produced as it fits the HS well and isn't a pain to put on. Some 1/6 helmets are too tight and looks small on the HS, and the helmet straps are near impossible to strap on.


This PASGT helmet with digital desert camouflage cloth cover comes with PVS-14 NVG Mount and Goggles with Cover








Check out the ultra-cool S.O.L.A.G. Gloves and Leg Rig Panel with Gasmask / Dump Pouch. Those "Ninja Turtles" kneepads (Motocross/BMX kneepads) really stand out.


Hydration System

And Water Bottle. It can get really thirsty out in the desert sun.
