Toys City is churning out some pretty nice stuff and although this is their 2010 X'mas Special, it won't be available until next year!

With all that gear, how do these guys even get anything done? Well, like what the "Rogue Warrior" Richard "Dick" Marcinko AKA "Demo Dick", "Shark Man of the Delta" said in his books, "Half the FUN is getting there!"

And why is a SEAL so far out of the water? When the Navy saw the need for a full-time dedicated Counter-Terrorist Team, Marcinko was tasked with its design and development.

Marcinko was the first commanding officer of this new unit which he named SEAL Team Six (at the time, the US Navy had only two SEAL teams. Marcinko purportedly named the unit Team Six in order to confuse other nations into believing that the United States had three other SEAL teams that they were unaware of). The men in the unit were handpicked by Marcinko himself from across the US Navy's Special Operations community. SEAL Team Six would be known as the US Navy's premier counter-terrorist unit; being compared to the US Army's Delta Force. Marcinko held the command of SEAL Team Six for three years from 1980-1983 instead of what was typically a two-year command in the Navy at the time. [source: wiki]

According to "Demo Dick", all the water a SEAL needs is in his water canteen :)

Marcinko also defined SEAL as "a hop-and-popping shoot-and-looter hairy-assed Frogman who gives a shit. It stands for Sleep, Eat And Live it up! It actually stands for SEa-Air-Land Navy SpecWarrior

Why this interest in Marcinko? Well, some say the Toys City 1/6 scale SEAL Team 5 Mountain Ops headsculpt looks like the man himself. Also a bearded Eric Bana? The HS also reminded me of Brían F. O'Byrne as Aaron Stark from FlashForward. In the TV series, Aaron Stark goes off to Afghanistan to find his daughter, Tracy.

By the way, the 1:1 scale orange is not included LOL
