1/6 Facepool - FP012A/B U.S. Airborne Division E Company Lieutenant (Band of Brothers - Buck Compton)

[FlyAndFight]

Yes. Band of Brothers is a line I'm willing to wait for. I've reached the point that Clone Troopers and Lord of the Rings are my collecting focus. I'd be happy to add Band of Brothers to that list. Such a memorable series. Well produced and expertly acted.

As with you, Lord of the Rings is one of my other "current" lines. EXO-6's "Star Trek" is another one for me.

I'm one pre-order away from completing the "Saving Private Ryan" line. Hard to believe that once Medic Wade is released, that line will be completed.

Yes, we just have to wait for Wade to finish our groups.

With my upham coming hopfully this week I had to bring all the figures out of the case to see how much space I needed for a wall shelf so I put them side by side and Man, they looked great together we got some cool displays coming hopfully this year!

I've slowed down my 1/6 figure purchases recently. I still have a number of pre-orders either floating out there or in route to me but I will say that I can definitely be patient with Facepool if they are going to provide us with a "Band of Brothers" series of figures. Still one of, if not the favorite television series of all time, for me. "The Pacific" and "From the Earth to the Moon" follow closely. So looking forward to "Masters of the Air"!

Masters of the Air is the second thing I'm looking forward to the most this year besides the Ridley scott Napoleon movie, I'm hoping writing is as good the previous HBO/Playtone Mini series and that the CGI doesn't look terrible.

I too hope that the CGI isn't over the top like "Red Tails" was. Like "BoB" and "The Pacific", I want character driven stories and not necessarily the action driving the stories.

Other characters are also planned in the future.

The head carving of this official picture is a real shot of high-quality goods.
The main weapon is made of metal solid wood,
The material and shape of M43 uniforms have been comprehensively improved compared with the previous ones, which are easier to take care of.

This is gonna be a tough decision.





But easily solved by just getting both versions.

 

[Chambea1114]

They still used some of the old pictures showing the bad ammo pouches but updated it in the final pictures.

Both sets look decent overall but I'm leaning toward the Ardennes version, the greatcoat look is perfection.

That Normandy version prototype desperately needs futzing, figure looks really awkward and un-proportional.

Judging by the looks of things this could have been one figure set if not for a few parts.

I'm excited to finish the SPR line and start doing Band of Brothers but honestly, Facepool takes way too long to prototype things and actually put them up for pre-order I don't know consistent they will be + I skipped the FP winters being sure that DiD would make him because they have been 2.0ing all the old figures and Winters would be next in the 2.0s, hopefully, DiD does start with Winters.

The green M43 is also my preferred look.

The thought that came to mind when I first saw those photos was that he looked like a sack of potatoes.

The material looks too thick as well.

Still waiting for them to show the completed Jojo Rabbit. He ought to be next.

 

[FlyAndFight]

This will be a double-purchase for me. I can always swap out a head sculpt in order to make a different Easy Co. figure, if needed.

Kit looks to have the best prices on these so I pre-ordered both.

I went for just the green M43. I don't remember seeing the airborne version of it before in 1/6. He'll be good company for Ujindou's Big Red One.

I just couldn't decide which one to get. As I mentioned earlier, I can always swap head sculpts to create a different character.

 

[RandomHero]

I'm confused, it looks like Kit is selling the two different versions but Giantoy is selling both versions in one? They're only offering one option to buy and it has the photos for both looks.

Giantoy is selling each version individually. You have to select version "A" or "B".

Ah, I see it now. Thank you.

So A is the Ardennes version and B is the Normany version...tough choice. I'll probably get the Normany version right now and mull the Ardennes one. I want to get one to match my Winters for sure.

 

[Stryker2011]

Maybe it’s the paint, but I’m not seeing Neal.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I think it may be the paint. I remember the prototype sculpt really capturing Neal.

 

[RandomHero]

Facepool are good sculpters, but they are really not great at painting. The worst part of the Winters figure was the paint on the sculpt. Someday when I'm not buying figures as much, I'll probably have these repainted.
