Posts: 2069 Nov 19 09 7:55 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None Hi to all ! I decided to put this news here, in the "Off Target" section, in spite of the political nature of this figure, on one hand because it's a modern figure, and on the other hand in order not to rot the "Luitpold Arena" section, logically focused on the WWII, with this created marxist icon for those in evil of feelings ... Well, here is the new DiD Ernesto "Che" Guevara ! By seeing their recent figures, having all the head of a personality, I think that it is clear that with the new engraver who work for DiD since several months, they have decided to occupy this niche before exclusively reserved to Sideshow Toy ! The idea isn't bad in itself, by assuming of course that the choice of the figures is judicious. That said, the HS of this Che Guevara is like all their recent figures released or announced : IMHO, relatively successful, in any case on the prototype shown ... Perhaps a 2nde head is missing : the one after its execution by the Bolivian forces ! Harald von K. "Quand les peuples cessent d'estimer, ils cessent d'obéir !" ("When the peoples cease estimating, they cease obeying !")

Keitel, Generalfeldmarschall, and a marxist agitator ... however originally coming from an aristocratic family, as very often ! Harald von K.

Keitel, Generalfeldmarschall, and a marxist agitator" Both worked for megalomanical despots with no respect for human rights and were responsible for un-necessary deaths of large number of civilians. back on topic: A well very done figure. I am tempted to buy one just out the irony of making a buck of the image of a communist icon. Capitalism Rules!

I recommend some take a moment to re-visit this part of the rulebook: The Field Manual 2.0 > 4.0 Politics and war crimes This is not directed at anyone in particular.

The figure does have political implications to many and we've decided this is the better place for it. Let's please move forward on the discussion of this figure as we do other figures in this section, meaning without a discussion of the real persons politics or actions.
