I like this figure a lot and I will be picking up multiples when he ships. I have a small section of Japanese Marines and a couple of the officers that bbi released, These guys will add well to that mix, however, the downisde is that I'll have to beef up mu US Marine section as they'll be slightly outnumbered now!

As to whether DML will "respond" in any way, I could care less. DML make stuff I want to buy and so do DiD, not always but they both do make stuff I like to buy. I collect 1/6th not particular companies and I'm always happy to see either step forward with a good solid release. This is a good solid release, as is the Brit MP due from DML. Happy Days for me.

As to why DML don't make Japanese figures well I guess that their policy of a three figure minimum for a series is a big part of that; DML like ensure that they get a three figure run out of their molds, (there have been isolated incidents where they may have broken this rule but on the whole it is their policy). As stated this figure seems to be a very Ltd release figure, (if not 1300 worlwide then very near this number), and there's got to be some good market reasoning behind this.

As to this urban myth about DML being a Chinese Company and not wishing to make Japanese figures because of the what they did in China during the war.......well, that is just that, an urban myth, and it will remain a myth until a senior representative from the Company comes to one of these boards and says otherwise, without that official confirmation it's just speculation, speculation that's seems to be taking on a credence of it's own just by virtue of repetition.

This is a great figure, but it's niche area in modelling and all the companies know that, otherwise they'd be making them by the shed load and we'd all be complaining about too many Japs and could we please have a a German for a change.
