Toyscity 1/6th scale WWII German WH Infantry Private Set, Poland 1939 for 12-inch action figure
Important Note: This product is for military collectors & historic education purposes only, and it is not intended to glorify nor exploit the horrors and atrocities of war.
The Wehrmacht was the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1946. It consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force). After the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, one of Adolf Hitler's most overt and audacious moves was to establish the Wehrmacht, a modern armed force fully capable of offensive use. Fulfilling the Nazi regime's long-term goals of regaining lost territory and dominating its neighbours required the reinstatement of conscription and massive investment and spending on the armaments industry.
The Invasion of Poland, was a joint invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, the Free City of Danzig, and a small Slovak contingent, that marked the beginning of World War II.
Toyscity 1/6th scale WWII German WH Infantry Private Set, Poland 1939 will come with M35 Helmet with WH sign, M36 Uniform for WH Private, Leather-like boots, WH Equipment Belt, Gas Cape Pouch, M38 Gas Mask Can, Bread Bag, Water Bottle, Field Canteen, Shovel, Bayonet, Kar 98k Rifle, Kar 98k Ammunition Pouch x2, M35 Backpack, Blanket.

They are the only special-purpose force of the German Navy. The Kampfschwimmer were set up particularly because Germany joined NATO and there was felt to be risk of war with the Soviet Union. A unit was needed which could help to secure the Baltic Sea exits through the Danish Straits. On 1 August 1958 Group 3402, as these commando frogmen were called by the navy, was set up.

Some of the World War II German uniforms in 1/6th scale, all thanks to Dragon Models Limited
Important Note: These products are for military collectors and historic education purposes only, and they are not intended to glorify nor exploit the horrors and atrocities of war.
The Axis Powers is a term for those participants in World War II opposed to the Allies. The three major Axis powers, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and the Japanese empire, referred to themselves as the "Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis." The Axis powers ruled empires that dominated large portions of Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, but they were ultimately defeated at the end of World War II.
The Wehrmacht (lit. "defence force") was the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1946. It consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force). The Wehrmacht formed the heart of Germany’s politico-military power. In the early part of World War II, Hitler's generals employed the Wehrmacht through innovative combined arms tactics (close cover air-support, mechanized armor, and infantry) to devastating effect in what was called a Blitzkrieg (lightning war). The Wehrmacht's new military structure, unique combat techniques, newly developed weapons, and unprecedented speed and brutality crushed their opponents. By the time the war ended in Europe in May 1945, the Wehrmacht had lost approximately 11,300,000 men, about half of which were killed in action.
IMHO The German military uniforms of World War II were most impressive and appear to be the best among all the armies. They were the best looking uniforms (the sharpest) and the German leaders seem to understand the value of branding and propaganda - the Nazi party spared no expense in looking good while doing bad.
While cleaning the display shelves for my 12-inch figures, I always try to take group pictures of my collection when they are out of their glass prison. Other group pics taken before include: "SEAL Team 6: The Ones Resonsible For Osama Bin Laden's Demise" posted on my toy blog HERE; "October 7 – The Day the War in Afghanistan Began with U.S. Special Forces leading the way" HERE; "1/6th scale World War II Allied Forces Pilots and Air Crewman 12-inch action figures gathered" HERE; "1/6 scale SAS CRW 12-inch figures released by BBI, Dragon Models, MC Toys, Medicom, Palitoy" HERE; and "Just some random Hot Toys Iron Man and War Machine / Iron Patriot pictures from my collection" HERE.

DAM TOYS 1/6th scale KSK (Kommando Spezialkräfte) LRRP(Fernspäher) 12-inch figure
KSK Kommando Spezialkräfte (Special Forces Command, KSK) is an elite special forces military unit composed of special operations soldiers handpicked from the ranks of Germany's Bundeswehr and organized under the Rapid Forces Division. KSK has received many decorations and awards from NATO, the United States and its affiliates and KSK operatives are frequently requested for joint anti-terror operations, notably in the Balkans and Middle East.
From 1973, until the KSK’s formation in 1996, the West German (and later German) government assigned all counter-terrorist and special operations activities to the GSG 9, a highly trained police force created shortly after the hostage-taking that transpired during the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. Prior to 1973, the army’s Fernspäher (Long-Distance Reconnaissance), the navy’s Kampfschwimmer (Combat Swimmers/"Frogmen"), and (until 1989) the Special Weapons Escort Companies - Sonderwaffenbegleitkompanien were the only military units comparable to anything that other nations may have seen as dedicated special forces units. Following the KSK’s activation on April 1, 1997, all but one of the Fernspähkompanie have been either disbanded or merged into the newly constituted unit.

Check out TITTOYS 1/6th scale Infernal Clockwork Men - Kroenen 12-inch action figure
Important Note: This product is for collectors only, and it is not intended to glorify nor exploit the horrors and atrocities of war or the Nazis.
In the HELLBOY comics created by Mike Mignola, Karl Ruprecht Kroenen was a relatively unremarkable Nazi SS scientist, whose most distinguishing characteristic was that he always wore a gas mask and protective bodysuit, which Mignola attributes to a disfiguring accident of some kind. Director Guillermo del Toro created a significantly expanded biography for the character, to appear as a villain in the 2004 film adaptation.
In the film biography, Kroenen became head of the Thule Society, a group of German aristocrats obsessed with the occult. He helped them to spearhead Project Ragna Rok, engineering the portal generator that would conjure the Scarlet Beast, Hellboy, in October 1944. A masterful fencer, he also became renowned for his swordsmanship and created his own signature swords.

Toys City TC-6810 1/6th scale WWII German Grossdeutschland Division Motorcycle Driver Set
Motorcycles have been going to war as long as there have motorcycles around to go to war. American Harley-Davidson and Indian; British Triumph, BSA Matchless and Norton; Italian Moto Guzzi and Gilera; French Terot and Gnome Rhone; Belgian FN and Gillet. If you had a war to go to, motorcycles would get you there, oftentimes faster and through terrain inaccessible to other vehicles.
The German military was the largest employers of motorcycles during World War II 1939-45. In addition, as German forces swept across conquered lands, they acquired a wide array of British, French and Belgian machines, painted them Wehrmacht gray and sent them into battle. German military motorcyclists played an important role either in solo courier or scouting capacity, as teams of tank hunters or in divisions of rifle troops. (source: Bikes of the Blitzkrieg)
Toys City TC-6810 1/6th scale WWII German Grossdeutschland Division Motorcycle Driver Set will come with M35 Helmet, Field Cap, M43 Uniforms Of WH, Leather like boots, Armband of GD Division, Epaulettes of GD Division, Wound Badge, Infantry Assault Badge, WH Equipment Belt, Schutzmantel für Kraft Radfahrer, Goggles, Map Bag, M38 Gas Mask Canister, Kar 98k Rifle, Kar 98k Ammunition Pouch x 2, 20-Litre Jerry Can with WH Sign. 12-inch Figure and 1/6th scale Motorcycle NOT included.

Preview Toys City #68002 1/6 WWII Ardennen 1944 German Fallschirmjager outfit Set
continued from previous post...
Important Note: This product is for military collectors & historic education purposes only, and it is NOT intended to glorify nor exploit the horrors and atrocities of war.
During World War II, the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) raised a variety of airborne light infantry (Fallschirmjäger) units. The Luftwaffe built up a division-sized unit of three Fallschirmjäger regiments plus supporting arms and air assets, known as the 7th Flieger Division.
After mid-1944, Fallschirmjäger were no longer trained as paratroops due to the strategic situation, and fought as infantrymen. Near the end of the war, the series of new Fallschirmjäger divisions extended to more than 12, with a reduction in quality in the later units, which, however still inflicted moderate losses on the advancing Allied troops.
In 1944, the Germans counterattack across the Ardennes and the Meuse valley but they were eventually thwarted after fierce battles. Their most advanced position was the "nose" of the salient, just in front of Dinant and the Meuse river. They had wanted to move northeast and reach Antwerp and the North Sea.
This is the soon-to-be-released Toys City 1/6 scale WWII Ardennen 1944 German Fallschirmjager outfit Set (Item#68002). The set will come with WWII German M38 Helmet, FJ uniform, FJ Trousers, German FJ Boots, FJ Y harness, MP44 Ammunition Pouch, MP44 Submachine Gun, MP44 magazine x 5, Gray protective gloves, Warm grey hood, Luftwaffe-Sumpfuster "Field Division Smock", M42 Coat, Mess kit, water bottle, Breadbag Blue, Entrenching tool with Leather-like Carrier, Gas mask bag, German Army Paratrooper Badge.

After mid-1944, Fallschirmjäger were no longer trained as paratroops due to the strategic situation, and fought as infantrymen. Near the end of the war, the series of new Fallschirmjäger divisions extended to more than 12, with a reduction in quality in the later units, which, however still inflicted moderate losses on the advancing Allied troops.
In 1944, the Germans counterattack across the Ardennes and the Meuse valley but they were eventually thwarted after fierce battles. Their most advanced position was the "nose" of the salient, just in front of Dinant and the Meuse river. They had wanted to move northeast and reach Antwerp and the North Sea.
This is the soon-to-be-released Toys City 1/6 scale WWII Ardennen 1944 German Fallschirmjager outfit Set (Item#68002). The set will come with WWII German M38 Helmet, FJ uniform, FJ Trousers, German FJ Boots, FJ Y harness, MP44 Ammunition Pouch, MP44 Submachine Gun, MP44 magazine x 5, Gray protective gloves, Warm grey hood, Luftwaffe-Sumpfuster "Field Division Smock", M42 Coat, Mess kit, water bottle, Breadbag Blue, Entrenching tool with Leather-like Carrier, Gas mask bag, German Army Paratrooper Badge.

Toys City #68001 1/6 scale WWII Ardennes 1944 German Fallschirmjager Officer figure outfit set
Important Note: This product is for military collectors & historic education purposes only, and it is NOT intended to glorify nor exploit the horrors and atrocities of war.
The Ardennes (Luxembourgish: Ardennen; also known as Ardennes Forest) is a region of extensive forests, rough terrain, rolling hills and ridges formed by the geophysical features of the Ardennes mountain range and the Moselle and Meuse River basins.
Allied generals in World War II felt the region was impenetrable to massed vehicular traffic and especially armor, so the area was effectively "all but undefended" during the war, leading to the German Army twice using the region as an invasion route into Northern France and Southern Belgium via Luxembourg in the Battle of France and the later Battle of the Bulge.
This is Toys City upcoming figure, Item#68001 1/6 scale WWII Ardennes 1944 German Fallschirmjager Officer outfit set for 12-inch figures. Fallschirmjäger (Fallschirmjager or Fallschirmjaeger in English) is the German word for paratroopers. They played an important role during World War II, when, together with the Gebirgsjäger they were perceived as the elite infantry units of the German Wehrmacht.

Toys City 1/6 scale World War II German camouflage sets – Italian, Autumn, oak-leaf etc
Military camouflage is part of the art of military deception. The main objective of military camouflage is to deceive the enemy as to the presence, position and intentions of military formations. Camouflage techniques include concealment, disguise, and dummies, applied to troops, vehicles, and positions.
I think among all the combat forces fighting in World War II, the German military probably has the most types of camouflage patterns than any of the other armies. The role of uniform is not only to hide each soldier, but also to identify friend from foe. Issue of the "Frogskin" uniforms to US troops in Europe during the Second World War was halted as it was too often mistaken for the German Waffen-SS uniform.

Original Effect Army Attractive series 1/6 scale Viola 13.5-inch female action figure Review II
continued from previous post...
This is how Original Effect Army Attractive series Vol. 1 1/6 scale Viola 13.5-inch female action figure looks complete with all her accessories. I had covered the basic female figure out of the box along with the box packaging, included comic in the previous toy blog post HERE. This second-part review of OE Viola covers the 1/6 scale accessories included which are: extra pair of gloved hands, revolver, cap, belt with holster, black overcoat with belt, arm band and cigar
As I mentioned before in my part 1 review, this Original Effect Army Attractive series female figure is not really in 1/6 scale because she is 13.5 inches tall which makes her too tall to be one sixth scale. The leg joints are really really loose (did I emphasize that enough?) and her legs just pop out of her body when you touch it or brush against it :( Her corset top doesn't want to stay up and keeps sliding down while her skirt keeps sliding up and every time her legs pop out, you have to pull up her stockings and adjust everything all over again. Needless to say, this photo shoot wasn't easy at all. Scroll down to see the fully clothed OE Viola female figure

Review 1: Original Effect (OE) Army Attractive series 1/6 Viola 13.5-inch female action figure
This is the recently released Original Effect Army Attractive series 1/6 scale Viola female action figure (femfig) which I had gotten in March 2013 (see my toy blog post HERE of my other hauls) but have not reviewed yet until now. Too many toys / figures and too little time ;p
Original Effect Army Attractive series 1/6 scale Viola female action figure comes with 1/6 scale Viola head sculpt, 13.5-inch tall female figure body with high-heeled feet, pair of gloved hands, revolver, cap, Bra / corset top, skirt, belt with holster, stockings, black overcoat with belt, arm band, cigar, tie and comic: Army Attractive Vol.1.
What drew me to this figure was the stylized female head sculpt (blond hair, blue eyes with the come-hither look - what's there not to like haha) combined with the German Nazi-like black dominatrix outfit, all of which speaks of seduction, submission and sensuality. Plus she's an "action" figure and you know I collect action figures and NOT dolls ;p a point I always try to make whenever I can - check out my post HERE for the differences between an action figure and a doll although the line can be rather thin at times, especially when it comes to female figures.

Another similar figure previewed earlier HERE was the Original Effect Army Attractive series 1/6 scale Viola 12-inch female action figure. She looked pretty much the slut, I meant the part and although she didn't have a Swastika symbol, we all knew which country she was supposed to represent.

Incoming: MC Toys 1/6 scale KSK Kommando Spezialkräfte Flecktarnmuster 12" military figure
In 1976, the Bundeswehr in Germany developed a number of prototype camouflage patterns, to be trialled as replacements for the solid olive-grey "moleskin" combat uniform. At least four distinct camouflage patterns were tested during Bundeswehr Truppenversuch 76 ("Bundeswehr Troop Trial 76"). One was called "Dots" or "Points", and one was called "Ragged Leaf" or "Saw Tooth Edge". Of the patterns tested, that which is today known as Flecktarn was selected for adoption. The word is a composite formed from the German words Fleck (spot, blot, or pattern) and Tarnung (camouflage). The Bundeswehr kept its green combat dress throughout the 1980s, however. Flecktarn was only widely introduced in 1990, after trials beginning in 1988. [source: wiki]
Magic Cube Toys seems to have kept the best for later ;p After the bad showing of the MC Toys Armed Girl series 1/6 scale Desert Flecktarn Suit for 12" female figures (previewed HERE in my earlier toy blog post), Magic Cube has now released pictures of NOT one but TWO German Camouflage outfit sets for 12-inch male figures and these include the 12-inch figure as well :)
The KSK Kommando Spezialkräfte (Special Forces Command, KSK) is an elite military unit composed of Special Operations soldiers handpicked from each of the ranks of Germany’s Bundeswehr and organized as such under the Division Spezielle Operationen (Special Operations Division, DSO). The unit has received many decorations and awards from NATO, the USA and its affiliates. Modeling itself on the British Army's Special Air Service and the US Army Special Forces, KSK operators are frequently requested for joint anti-terror operations, notably in the Balkans and Middle East.

Preview MC Toys Armed Girl series 1/6 scale Desert Flecktarn Suit for 12" female figures
Flecktarn (German: "spotted camouflage"; also known as Flecktarnmuster or Fleckentarn) is a 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-colour disruptive camouflage pattern, the most common being the five-colour pattern, consisting of dark green, light green, black, red brown and green brown or tan depending on the manufacturer. The use of spots creates a "dithering" effect, which eliminates hard boundaries between the different colours in much the same way the squares in the newest digital camouflage patterns do. The pattern is designed for use in temperate woodland terrain. It has been adapted as desert camouflage by varying the colours.
This is Magic Cube Toys next offering / upcoming release which will be the MC Toys Armed Girl series 1/6 scale Desert Flecktarn Suit for girls i.e. 12-inch female action figures. The Desert Flecktarn Armed Girl Suit will come with G36C Compact Assault Rifle, Rifle Magazine X 4, Suppressor, Tactical Light X 1, Army Desert Flecktarn Pants, Belt, Short Sleeve T-Shirt, Desert Flecktarn Cap, Skull Pattern Scarf, Desert Flecktarn chest rig, G36 Double Magazine Pouch x 2, Desert Flecktarn Dump Pouch, Combat Boots. Do note that 12-inch female figure is NOT included
