Incoming: Soldier Story 1/6 SEAL Team VI - Operation Neptune's Spear 12-inch figure

Osama bin Laden was killed on May 1, 2011. The operation that was carried out is now revealed to be Operation Neptune Spear, and the elite Navy SEAL team responsible for the absolute success was the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DevGru aka SEAL Team Six). DevGru was ferried into Pakistan by the US Army’s 160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment (SOAR) in a group of helicopters that appear to have included advanced BlackHawk variants and Chinooks.

This post is about the upcoming Soldier Story 1/6 SEAL Team VI - Operation Neptune's Spear 12-inch figure and it's about as near to the real thing as you are going to get. The loadout and gear is awesome (to say the least) and the accuracy and attention to details are mind boggling. This has to be the most modern and up-to-date Special Forces trooper currently operating in the real world, and I'm liking all of it :)

This Soldier Story 1/6 SEAL Team VI - Operation Neptune's Spear 12-inch figure will come with AOR1 FAST Ballistic High Cut HELMET, L4G24 NVG Mount, Modular Personal Lighting System, NSW Helmet Ballast, Helmet HD Camcorder, Monster Dog Sunglasses, C4OPS Radio System: In Ear Headset with Quick DISCONNECT Male Connector + Micro C4OPS Control Box + Dual Wireless PTT with Picatinny Rail Attachment Remote Control Channel and Volume of the Radio + Radio Cable Adapters, PRC-148 Radio, Functional Radio Antenna Extension Cable Set, Concealed Backup Knife, Carabiner, Light sticks x 6, Handcuffs x 2, Hydration tube, Watch, GPS, MS2000 Strobe light, S2 Body, Leg kit, Bare feet short connected x 1 pair

AOR stands for “Area Of Responsibility” – in this case meaning either desert / arid terrain regions (AOR 1), or temperate / tropical forested terrain regions (AOR 2). And the AOR Camouflage pattern is the same digital pixelated pattern used for the NWU, MARPAT, UCP (ACU) and CADPAT camouflage patterns. It is only be used by the US Navy – and Naval Special Warfare personnel in particular. AOR patterns supposedly have the inclusion of the Navy’s Anchor-Constitution - Eagle logo, and they are now part of the Navy Working Uniform system.
