Soldier

Today’s cheap plastic stuff continues the theme of having plastic servicemen as the cheap plastic stuff. Unlike the fireman of last week, though, this week’s cheap plastic thing is a bit disturbing. I mean, it’s meant to be a soldier. It has a gun, a backpack, army uniform, some strange thing and even a grenade. All of which would seem fine and correct. But look at the face on this figure. It’s a kid! What kind of army sticks young kids on the front line, armed with automatic weaponary? It’s almost sick, I tell you! Aside from that, the build quality is nothing compared to the fireman, and all the accessories are useless as the kid’s hands are flat and therefore incapable of gripping anything. The backpack is capable of being worn so about the best the kid could do is carry all his kit on his back. Useless and strange. 2/10. All this for the price of 1 pound.
