Based on the MG lafette on his back, it look like he's the assistant gunner to Gustav Bayer. They even used the same background photo for the preview pics on both figures. A FJ version of Erich and Heinrich? I may end up getting these two, especially if some of the online dealers offer a discount when buying both. My collection is currently lacking any Italian Front Fallschirmjagers. Last Edited By: RogueJK 06/30/09 12:44:42. Edited 2 times.

Depending on the price and extra gear, I might pick up my first Gear+ Jokes don't go over well on the internet. Once on a forum for the Medal of Honor video game, I said the sequel should take place in the Boer War instead of WWII. No one got the joke; they thought I was serious.

Sure looks like Bayer has a 2nd pattern "step-in" jump smock, wonder if Koch has a second pattern camo jump smock too - hope so, it's been a while since either has been available. Nice to see a plain (non-camo) FG42 bandolier too. -Dave

If Toys City hadn't released their FG-42s a little while back, I'd be all over these.

They looked fine to me!

I'll have to see the price range and the full detail on the gear. Still some mighty outdated stuff mixed in with some very desirable stuff. Would be nice to see a dealer break if you buy the pair.

However the smaller helmet looks perfect on the Bayer head, at least based on the pictures they've shown so far. Jokes don't go over well on the internet.

Sorry Major A.G i confused the DML FG42 ammo bandolier with the Toys City version for a moment there......if anything the material is slightly too wide where it lies aross the shoulders & back but that would be nitpicking....the Toys City version does not have the material across the entire top of the bandolier but is a nice width and fit across the shoulders and back the TC version also omit's the webbing strap in the centre at the back of the neck.....it also includes blocks of white cardboard to fill out the ammo pouches which needs to be remedied.

I mean I know they fit tight but come on The Bayer one looks perfect to me. Jokes don't go over well on the internet.

Posts: 2250 (07/01/09 08:52:30) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I'm not saying the helmets weren't tight - just that, aside from perhaps the first picture which must be a guy with a watermelon head, there is always some space between the brim and the head - at least room to stick in a few fingers. In the figure, it's practically air tight. I mean, his ears appear to stick out as wide as the helmet! I dont see anything close to that on any of the above pics. Maybe it's just the pic, so I'll hold judgment till I see more. That was just my first reaction. And it isnt like that is a reason not to get an otherwise cool figure. It looks like a nice helmet, and one can always find a slightly smaller head. And as the first pic shows, bad fits did happen. I just dont really want my figures to have bad fits.

I tend to really appreciate the 'randomness' of the real world and try to translate it to 1/6, especially when a 'group' of figures is represented... for this HS...the DML helmet will be the only one to use, as his noggin will DEFINITELY be too big for the Toys City version! For some reason, I was thinkin' DML would only produce a few figures in the Gear+ line...but I'm Very pleasantly surprised to see them really cranking these out!...and I applaud the idea of this MG 'team'...with the mix-match of smocks and bandoleers...fairly representative.
