Figure Focus: The Desert Rat

A little figure focus.

I was never much of a fan of the Desert Rat, but since getting the larger Action man I have grown to rather like the old fellow!

Always liked this figure and am surprised that Palitoy resisted the temptation to release a z-force version.

Is that a custom box next to him? If so it's excellent and offers an intriguing alternate reality for the Wave 1 releases. It's also reminiscent of the old Matchbox car boxes, again in a good way.

Sounding good Paul.
Did the hot knife through butter work or did you go back to the sawing?
