Soldier Story - "Zero Dark Thirty-DEVGRU Squadron Team Leader" (SS-084)

[FlyAndFight]

This one has been on my mini-grail list for quite some time, as it had been released way back in 2014, but before I had made a return to 1/6 military figures.

I was lucky enough to be able to find and buy one just yesterday and at a very decent price (compared to what it is going for today...) should hopefully be shipping out soon.

Joel Edgerton?

Your threads confuse me because they're about old figures

Joel Edgerton?

Yes. See Johnny Utah's GIF below. (He was also Uncle Owen in the Disney Star Wars flicks.)

Ha! Yep, this is an oldie but goodie, for me. I've had this figure on my radar for years but refused to pay the going secondary market prices. Fortunately, I came across a fairly decent deal and snagged it immediately.

Congrats on scoring a grail piece! Looks really dope!

I was on the fence when that one went up for PO. Congrats on the pick up.

No, I know. He also played Ramses in that Ridley Scott/Christian Bale/Moses movie. Great actor.

 

[Johnny Utah]

He was awesome in Warrior vs Tom Hardy and so good in King Arthur too.

Figure has shipped out!

 

[FlyAndFight]

The figure arrived a couple of days ago and does look very good. I've got a ton of modern military figures needing to be set up so this one will join the pile.

I found that a number of the small accessories/gear had fallen out of their plastic slots during shipping but fortunately, they are all accounted for.

The figure appears to need some padding to help define the traps but it could be that it was designed that way so that the vest and gear looks right. Shouldn't be an issue, if needed.

I puffed up the shirt for this pic and it looks fine.

Head sculpt looks just like the actor, Joel Edgerton.

Packaging was in good shape. Quick pick with my personalized copy of SEAL Team Six, Robert O'Neill's book. (He isn't the figure depicted, though.)

Very happy to finally have this one in the collection!
