Dragon WWII 1/6th scale US Army Ranger Private First Class "Cappy" (Vin Diesel) Review II

Having already seen packaging and contents of this Dragon Models Limited (DML) 1/6th scale Private First Class "Cappy" - World War II US Army Ranger (2nd Battalion, France 1944) 12-inch military action figure in the earlier post, it's now time to see how everything comes together :)

As mentioned previously, Vin Diesel stars as Private First Class Adrian "Cappy" Caparzo in "Saving Private Ryan" and this DML 1/6th scale WWII US Army Ranger 12-inch action figure is obviously modeled after Diesel's character.


Dragon Models Limited (DML) has been releasing movie-related figures of late. There was the pair of Asian actors Jay Chou and Nicolas Tse in the Hong Kong action film "The Viral Factor" (posted earlier HERE and HERE), the preview of their soon-to-be-released trio of Agent J, Agent K (old) and Agent K (young) from MIB3 plus these "Saving Private Ryan" figures. See my post HERE for preview pictures of the figures that Dragon will release :)

This was what Vin Diesel as Italian-American Caparzo wore in the 1998 American epic war film "Saving Private Ryan" directed by Steven Spielberg.


And here are some close-up pictures and views of Dragon Models Limited (DML) 1/6th scale Private First Class "Cappy" - World War II US Army Ranger (2nd Battalion, France 1944) 12-inch military action figure with all his gear and equipment.


For more close-up shots of the 1/6th scale head sculpt with Vin Diesel's likeness, check out my earlier post HERE :) personally I think Dragon managed to capture Vin Diesel's likeness as the resemblance is there. Perhaps the painting skills are not on par with Hot Toys or DiD or Enterbay but for the price I'm paying, I'm quite happy with how this turned out :)
