Not to burst your bubble Hartmann, but these things have been around for a while. It is only recently however that we have this high quality and wide range of selection. I collect 1/6 scale weapons, just the weapons. I like to tell people that I own a Panzerfaust!
Good stuff, there are about 6 figures I would like, starting with the Ubopat commander, the Rommel fig, Wittmann and Wohl, E.A.Hartmann, and the SS-Cav man with the dog--oh and a 7th fig--the German M.P. with the mutt.
Unfortunately, Corpus Christi's local Toys R Us doesnt carry Dragon figs--just crap like G.I.Joe, Soldiers of the World figs--which are all crap, and The Ultimate Soldier figs--which I occasionally collect. Last one I got was a German General--kinda looks like Col. Klink.
