Wave 1 German paratrooper custom

[SteveD]

Looking good!

Did all Wave 1 Germans come with a little logo on their helmets? (behave!!!). Going to have to check mine tonight to see whether they've got them or not.

I think the wave1 germans with badged hats are very rare, even amongst the MOCs.
Mine are repros! Hence the luftwaffe eagle on the paratroop helmet.

I've always wondered about that, two of my stormtroopers have badges, but the 3rd one hasn't..I've just always assumed it had worn off or was a error.

If you look in the toy archive you can see stormtroopers in the bubble some with and some without badges. It seems that a grey chinstrap means early, and (originally at least) badged. Black chinstrap= later and never badged.

Damn! Just checked and none of mine have a badge - even grey chinstrap one or moc one. No sign of wear to grey strap one, so not sure what's going on there!

Here's a pic I found while trawling the interweb

I think he meant homemade repros. What is that figure range, Rude Kid?
