My eBay figure arrived. I like the way he looked slightly bored while hugging the machine gun. Had to modify the tower a wee bit so there was a gap for him to stare out. ImageImage

That is a unique figure pose. Is a URL available for ordering one?

Sorry I don't have any information. I found it on eBay and it was second hand. Unassembled but already primed and it arrived in an unmarked padded envelope. This was the listing. Sorry I can't be more help.

It is widely available on Aliexpress: https://aliexpress.ru/item/100500227024 ... f53dPklTn2
Maybe a copy from the man that makes very nice, but awefully pricy figures, Jeff ?

to be honest I was not blown away with the quality of mine. the gun has very little detail and there were lots of air bubbles that reminded me of when I cast plaster of Paris when I was a kid. the link you posted the quality does look higher maybe I had an earlier version.

Ah, a pirated Jeff Shiu figure--no wonder the pose caught my attention. Thank you all for clarifying. True, the price for Shiu's figures is high. True indeed, the quality and naturalness of the poses of Shiu's figure make them superb.
