1/6th Scale Military Figures from Soldier Story, 3R, ACI and DID Seen @ STGCC 2012

These were some of the 1/6th scale military figures on display at the recently concluded 2012 Singapore Toy Game & Comic Convention (STGCC 2012 from September 1 & 2). Among the 12-inch military figures on display, this particular diorama caught my eye. I just like the whole composition. And the 1/6 scale vehicle really added a nice touch :)


All the 12-inch military figures are from Soldier Story and they have been releasing some very fine figures for a while now. If Hot Toys is the king of licensed movie-related merchandise / 1:6 scale figures, then Soldier Story is the king of 12-inch modern military figures because the realism they bring to the table is amazing.

DiD did not shy away either. They were at the show as well with their World War I 12-inch military figures on display. There was the WWI 1:6 British Infantryman Albert Brown


WWI 1:6 German Infantryman Max Muller


WWI 1:6 German Grenadier Lutz Fedder from 6th Sturmbatalion 1917 - 1918


WWI French Infantryman Pascal Dubois, looking very much like the French actor Jean Reno, famous for his role as Léon The Professional from the 1994 movie of the same name.

ACI came to the show with their Roman Gladiators. There was ACI Toys 1/6 scale Gladiator of Rome 2: Spartacus 12-inch figure. This particular type of Roman Gladiator was called the Provocator, distinguishable by a helmet without crest, a curved rectangular shield, and a sword with a straight blade.
