auction Can anyone identify the figure on the bottom row, third from the right? He's the German with the body armour and his arm straight down holding the potatoe masher. I'm not so sure he's a Mini Figs sculpt, but I'm pretty sure he's not Peter Pig or FOW/Battlefront. I have a boatload of 15mm WWI Germans and I've never seen this figure before. Thanks for your help! |

Thanks guys, guess I don't know my WWI Germans as well as I thought. It looks like Mini Figs added a few new figures to their trench raider packs a while back. On their website there's photos of the Brit and the French trench raiders, but none of the Germans. It's the slightly smaller helmet that threw me off. |

That particular figure is NOT minifig. It is 15mm Irregular Miniature's: NC66 1916-18 German Infantry Storm Trooper

Well, Eric, I bow to your knowledge. It's been 13 years since I looked into my Minifig molds but do remember that we modified a few WWI 15mm Minifigs to breathe some life into the line. We did the same for some of the 15mm Tricorn rages as well. (Like making sure the big 5 for SYW were offered in three poses- March Attack, advancing and firing.) |

Thanks again fellers, I appreciate ya! I own a lot of Minifigs, Battlefront, Peter Pig and QRF WWI Germans but no Irregulars. Always room for more, I suppose. |
