I Like this figure ! From the correct "Tan and Water" pattern smock to the unique paratrooper helmet the detail of this figure is just outstanding! I do have a group of four of the first generation Fallschirmjagers dressed up (and modified from other figures uniforms ) to display them as they were during the Ardennes Offensive ( Known in the U.S. as the "Battle of the Bulge ") But with this kit,straight from the box he is ready to go to his battle station at Gran Sasso.

GI Joe brings the arch enemy back with an interesting appeal, this German 1942-45 era special trained infantry soldier is loads of fun, not only can a child play war but they will learn history. Each package comes with a 22 full color pamphlet of war history. Most of it talks about WW2. This soldier is an accurate portrayal of America's deadliest enemy, he comes with a real oing mink hat, a st-3432 grenade "Flarsuvok" rocket launcher (does not eject anything), a sg-48 automatic machine gun, and a ration kit that includes little plastic spoons. I love this and so will kids. One good thing is that it is durable so if your kids use fire crackers on it or shoot it with bb guns the damage is minimal. Awesome!

Although the figure is a representation of the Fallshirmjager, I find it hard to believe that he would glide into the Gran Sasso raid with all the equipment he comes with. Don't get me wrong! This is a great figure with a lot of accessories.

The detail for the figure is tremendous. Not only the colors and make of the uniform, but the gear is not just visual. Most packs and kits with Ultimate Soldiers are just hard plastic; however, this figure has a hard plastic case and other gear which can hold things. Unfortunately, all the rifle ammo and grenades won't fit in it. The figure does have ammunition that he can hoist onto his shoulders in a couple of slings.

He comes with a couple German grenades (the ones with the handle), a helmet with webbing, rifle with workable tripod and removeable clip, and a pistol for firing flares. He has hat, jacket, pants, ascot, shirt, and boots to help round out the outfit.

For this figure, I have to comment on the sneer. It does give a sense of menace to the figure.

For a collector, I think that this is a great addition, but for children, there are too many small parts that can easily be lost or swallowed.
