Funny how much he looks like old V. Putin, especially when you see the country of origin.

Nice tableau, especially the miniature medal, fags and Zippo.
Army badge however, but it all works well. Dumb question. What makes him a SEAL and not, say, an LRRP? I suspect the answer is the maker decides!

Good find as always Tango. Keep up the good work.

So I'm not the only one seeing Putin then.

Unless I miss my guess, The figure is armed with a Stoner 63. Only the SEALs had them in Vietnam.

Yes the Stoner 63 is one way to determine he is a SEAL. But change out the weapon he could be a LRRP.

Don't know why he put the US ARMY 82d ABN patch in the pic though ? AFAIK the 2 units never worked together or had any contact ?

He doesn't look at all like Putin. Putin would never wear a shirt with camouflage pants and bandoleers.

If you are shorter you can hide better … evil grin

I still laugh when I see pics of both POTUS Obama or even now with Trump. Putin looks dwarfed ! evil grin

He could probly take 'em both down at the same time though. Beware the small ones.
