Very nice! It looks very tall (proportions of head, limbs and torso) but that might just be the camera angle.

It's properly proportioned, rather than the New Heroic Style we've gotten used to. Lovely sculpt.

stunning!!!

Gorgeous fig, but Prof, you should have read all the topic... :wink:
Gael commented it down below

For moment it is a WIP and a lot of things will change for exemple his jacket. The size is exactly 35mm from the feet to the top of the head.


So 28, isn't it ?

I hope it is made commercially available - I don't mind it being a little tall as it would make a perfect chauffeur/bodyguard.

Nicely done.

Needs his Pour le Mérite, Iron Cross, etc. though. Well, I'd want them on. People planning to (heaven forfend) use him as a mere limousine driver probably wouldn't .

I always thought Richthofen looked like Niles Crane. This one looks a little more butch. But it is still a gorgeous sculpt, and I'm being somewhat churlish in saying this.

Sounds like it probably won't be available to the public.

Oh well. Never mind, eh?

Well, I don't usually like Gael's work (too high-fantasy, too thin), but his style really works with this mini.  I especially like how all the clothing folds are so chiseled.
