Editorial Review

A half-century after WWII, new generations are beginning to discover the brave soldiers who literally changed the course of history. The Ultimate Soldier line continues that tradition with this collectible rendition of a British commando. Authentically styled and richly detailed, this articulated 12-inch action figure of a Royal Marine commando comes outfitted in fatigues, knit cap, and a simulated leather commando vest. Accessories include a real web belt and holster with automatic sidearm, a commando knife and sheath, compact backpack, and a Sten machine pistol. --Matthew Mason

This review is from: Ultimate Soldier WWII British Commando 12" Action Figure Box Set (Toy)

To date, this the British Commando is my favorite WWII era figure produced by 21st Century. It is followed closely by their British Paratrooper and German Machine Gunner. While I only display my 4 Commandos in various scenes, I imagine they are even more fun to play with.

This figure comes complete with a number of accurate accessories: Cap Comforter (hat), Battle Jerkin (weather proof)British Battle Dress (pants & shirt), Utility pouches & belt/harnesses, Canteen, Commando Knife, Large knife, backpack, Sten Gun with Silencer, boots with gators, ammo pouch for pistol, pistol and holster. All this gear is historically accurate and rendered here in 1/6 scale. The head sculpt is the best part and my favorite in the line. Plus this figure comes with the new Super-Soldier, improved articulation, body.

This figure is very durable, no velcro here as with past releases. Everything is sturdy if you are careful outfitting him. If you're young have an adult help you. Regardless of who is involved, be patient, it takes a while, but is half the fun.

I recommend getting him, I plan on getting another!

Classic "Alphie" mine sweepers are a strange addition to the GI Joe lore, if you value decent soldiers, then this is as good as any. Using the model from WW2, they have a magneto mine sweeper which beeps and it is fun but if you like soldiers you will be depressed because he doesn't have any assault rifles, this toy is usually taken by the 'nerd' or kid who likes technology, still it's fun.

this action figure is pretty cool. it has a cool pistol but the jacket looks like a girl's jacket. It's all sparkly and stuff. but if you have action figures, it's pretty cool to stage wars but I still don't like it very much.

You've been warned
