USN SEAL "OSCAR" BY DML

Here is another US Navy SEAL operator but this time his from the Vietnam war era. He is an old figure produced by Dragon Models Ltd. during its glory days. In those days web gear and boots were made of rubber unlike the current trend which is more realistic in its approach thus using clothe like materials. This shows how much the hobby has evolved and improved. Lets check out Oscar from DML'S NAM series.

Standard DML box. Simple but sturdy and collector friendly.

He is wearing ERDL camo top and Tiger Stripe patterned pants.

Oscar with green face paint and bandanna.

Oscar's web gear includes a standard ammo pouch with grenades.

First aid pouch and a canteen cover improvised as an ammo pouch

to carry the larger AK-47 mags.

Two water canteens.

His knife and side arm holster.

He carries an AK-47.

Unlike the regular army Special forces operators were given wider range of

weaponry and clothing to suit their missions.

MK 22 MOD 0 "Hush Puppy"

This pistol was a modified version of the Smith and Wesson Model 39.

The MK22 featured a suppressor, a slide lock and a raised iron sights.

I think DML pioneered the spring action feature in 1/6th scale weapons.

And in addition to the spring this Mk22 had removable suppressor and mag.

Before Hot Toys and Soldier Story took over the 1/6th scale military market,

DML was the top choice and this side arm just proved why.

I still consider this "hush puppy" to be one of the most detailed

and well made side arm in 1/6th scale

Oscar using his suppressed pistol for a stealthy kill.

The Mk22 MOD 0 was designed to take out guard dogs without alerting

the entire group.

Often times Seal's and other Special Forces operators will use weapons that

are locally used by hostile forces. And the AK-47 was a common weapon used by

the Vietnamese during the war.

The AK-47 originated in Russia and was designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov.

DC UNIVERSE CLASSICS AQUAMAN

Arthur Curry also known as Aquaman is a fictional comic books superhero. He first appeared in the comic book More Fun Comics #73 in 1941. He was created by writer Mort Weisinger and artist Paul Norris. Aquaman as we know is the king of Atlantis. Being the king and a hero, he defended the seven seas as well as the surface dwellers or the humans, even though they don't appreciate him much. He is also part of the Justice League along with other more popular heros such as Batman and Superman. I mentioned more popular heros because base from observation most people tend to neglect Aquaman as compared to the other superheros or members of the JL. But as DC comics release their New 52. I began to read and appreciate the art and story of Aquaman. I hope that they would keep on improving this comic book title and I am looking forward to the next issues.

DCUC YELLOW LANTERN SINESTRO

Finally got hold of this DC universe classics's wave 20 Sinestro in his yellow lantern form. As we all know Sinestro is the founder and leader of the yellow lanterns also know as the Sinestro Corp. This figure was previously released as a variant in an earlier wave of the DC universe toy line, the problem with that figure is that it was a little bit smaller in height. Thankfully Mattel remade and improve the figure thus giving as a nice and accurate figure of Sinestro. Let's go check him out.
