Every since the first GI Joe figures I have collected 12 inch action figures.
The vast majority of GI Joes were Americans, as are the most of my collection of 1/6th scale figures.
But I do have a few figures by Dragon and a couple other companies that are WWII Germans.
Unlike GI Joe who as intended for boys, the Dragon Models figures are intended for men.
As such their level of detail is very high, and they have a large number of accessories.
I like the variety of weapons they have. Here is an MP44 late war assault rifle.
This guy is based on Steiner from the movie Cross of Iron. He has an anti-tank mine.
On his back is a Soviet Union PPSh submachine gun. All my WWII German figures are Army, Navy, or SS, with a couple pilot figures. I don't paratroopers in 1/6th scale. My intention is that they work as opponents to my WWII US Army troops who are organized as a regular infantry platoon in the European Theater of Operations. So that's about 40 infantry, plus the supporting elements they might reasonably have attached in direct support. One 60mm mortar, two light tanks, a couple Jeeps, and some light and heavy machine guns.
