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

Also...for some reason...they've done Himmler...

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

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. And no, I refuse to post the picture.

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