If you've been in discussions, then tell them that they have another definite buyer as soon as they put out that U-boat commander. White cap, nice pair of binoculars and a Luger, maybe an optional oilskin coat - oh yeah :up:

A undred or so $ (less than £100) would be welll within my interest range....fingers crossed they decide to proceed. :up:

For that much money, I sure hope he's anatomically correct. :O:

Hung like a baboon according to recent reports :sunny:

I honestly don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing. And I sure as hell ain't gonna google it. :O:

I know one thing, if they make a u-boot commander and don't model it on der Alte from Das Boot, I'll seriously have to consider writing them a strongly worded letter before I purchase it.

Well yeah but which one would you purchase first? Pre voyage or post voyage? :DL

For the rest of you guys just remember: They're not dolls, they're action figures! :D

Hmm... as much as I like the snazzy blue uniform pre-voyage, I'm gonna have to go with about two weeks into the voyage, when the scruffy is really starting to set in. And he's always wearing that awesome leather jacket that looks like it was pinched off some poor dead RAF pilot. And stomping around soaking wet and cursing the weather.

It's not der Alte...but it is Onkel Karl

Oh...and am I going mad, or has this particular figure taken a lot of facial structure from a certain Scottish secret agent?

Good God, they're stunning, wow!

Given the hair I'd say more from a certain Russian sub captain... :yep:

Possibly :DL

With "international features"? (smirk)

Yeah, that's himself, no question.

I'd forgotten how good those are! Thanks for reviving the thread, Oberon.

If they do a kaleun, I too would like Der Alte, but barring that I wouldn't mind a real figure of Prien or Kretschmer..

Okay, this is weird. I was looking over their site, and they have models of real people and models of actors playing fictional characters, and sometimes real people.

But they could have done the real von Stauffenberg instead of T.C. Mapother IV playing him.:nope::dead: And no, I refuse to post the picture.

Go on...you know it makes sense :DL

Yeah, I know. They're made to be sold, not to be accurate.:nope:

Business is what it is....sell as much as possible. :hmmm:
