Re: Erwin Rommel 1:6 figure by DiD

looks sharp, but the only problem I see is that it doesn't look like him at all.

Guys, I would have to disagree with you.

Remember that this figure is based on the healthy Rommel "The Desert Fox" before taking ill during the late stages of the North African Campaign.

Take a look at the photos which I have included below.



The two end pictures are of the DID figure and the center is the real deal taken during the early years in North Africa.

By comparing apples and apples (B&W to B&W and the correct timeframe) I would say that DID did a wonderful job.

My only complaint is that they left out his famous goggles

Anyways, a 1/6th figure is still pretty small considering that the head sculpt is only about a 140mm high.

Great Job DID, now lets see a Panzer Meyer to add to your awesome figure collection
