I've not been collecting 12-inch military figures for a while now so as to focus more on other 1/6 scale figures from different genres but this figure has certainly got my attention. It's been a while since I've seen a nice looking Sniper figure and this particular one of Tom Berenger as a US Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Beckett from the 1993 "Sniper" film is just too good to resist.
The last time I got a 12-inch USMC sniper with full 1/6 scale ghillie suit was the BBI Elite Force 1/6 scale USMC Sniper "Snake" which was released in 2001. You can check out my toy blog post with pictures HERE

DAM seems to have a whole lot on their release schedule. I wish they would put their stuff out at a higher rate of frequency. The wait from first look, to preorder to release is excruciating. Especially when they keep putting out such great product!
ReplyDeleteThat second aiming headsculpt is a very good idea, great for exposing the figure in a cool action pose.
ReplyDeletegood thinking!
