Well, this is a couple of years late to the party, but still could be interesting to use as kitbashing parts etc.

The "special edition" roughed-up/dirty version is the way to go, IMO. I like the boots especially.

This is the clean standard version.

This is the special edition dirty version.

Now the parts. These look great.

HERE is the link to the DiD website and a tonne of pictures.

Looks pretty good. I might have to pick this up.

cmiller99 · May 28, 2016

Very very nice indeed. DiD usually put out quality stuff and this is no exception.

HAL9000. · May 28, 2016

This helmet is incredible.

I do think the gloves could do with a bit of work, but they must be a **** to make.

so it's 2 different sets? i'd prefer the dirty version minus the scars & wounds.

is that a german rifle?

shells075 · May 28, 2016

I got the Max Toys set but DiD make some great figures. So I may well be getting this one.

I think its the Sturmgewehr that Wardaddy uses throughout the movie.

Hunterdnrc · May 28, 2016

Yeah, Wardaddy uses an STG.

Definitely getting htis as soon as it goes up, I love DID. One of the most consistent companies in the game, IMO.

Yep. The dirty version is the special edition.

I'll make the first post a bit clearer.

Must have. Love that movie

Thainitty · May 28, 2016

The special edition is available for pre at time walker

Clean version $129.99
OR
Special version $139.99

Well, that's a no-brainer! :lol

shells075 · May 29, 2016

Yeah there is often little price difference in the special vs clean version with Dragon figs. That price point is really good imo. At least Dragon hasn't gone bonkers in price like HT have.

Agreed. I think that price is superb when you see all the parts can be more than that.

The clean version is nice for those who want to dirty it up themselves, but if the production figs look like that dirty version, there's no need.

I ordered the dirty version, too cool to pass on.....I've never bought a DID figure before; how are they in production compared to proto? How's the bodies and head sculpts/paint in person? Thanks guys...(**spoiler maybe?***) .great movie though I think it needed a little more character development to really hit you emotionally at the end.

DiD are usually pretty solid figures with plenty of accessories and they tend to do quite well on accuracy with clothes etc.

Off the top of my head, I've got MLK, Chicago Gangster 2, Agent Jack, General Frank, Chicago John, Winston Churchill and French Pierre. All are great. Especially considering their prices.

Picking one - French Pierre - is probably the weakest of the bunch, however, it's still a solid attempt at Aldo Raine (not as good as HT), but he came with loads of accessories and a bicycle. I got it sub $150.

So, this figure is gonna be pretty darn good IMO.

TheFiend · May 29, 2016

Another great release from DiD. A lot of great stuff here. I hated the movie but I'll pick up the figure.

shells075 · May 29, 2016

I got a few WW2 figs, Mostly Dragon, Sorry about the focus on some of the pics below, I think my camera lens is screwed?

I think the new Dragon figs are just as good as any HT fig quality wise. I guess they don't have to pay any licence fee to make their unofficial figs but they are still great value for money.
I also love the fact that the box covers double as a backdrop, probably get one with a picture of a Sherman with this fig.
