I guess that's the main guy from 1917. Failed to watch it with my brother in Cinema before Lockdown.
Like how he is looking through us with that two thousand yard stare.

Nice set. I imagine WWI collectors would be pretty happy. While I have hardly any DID sets as such, I find it hard to resist picking up some of the parted-out pieces -- they do produce so much that is impressively detailed or unique.

It's a very nice set, echoing the earlier Albert Brown offering, but a bit better in some ways.
Most welcome.
The only small comments I would offer would be :~

The leather jerkin is too narrow at the shoulder, it should stick out , almost forming wings over the armholes . They are copying DMLs mistake with that.

The coarse nylon ( ? ) tape they use as the basis of the webbing could be replaced by something much finer. Cotton tape is readily available in the right weave and widths, why not use that?

The Lance Corporal chevrons are trying to copy a common type, woven in little Xs, but this version is too crude and looks wrong as a result. Better to make something simpler, I think.

1917 was such a good movie, ahhh. I have no need for this figure but it's nice to see they made him.

First post updated with new information.

William by himself: $185 (PO price 175)

While I know not everyone is interested in military figures; I'm curious if anyone has thought about getting the trench to recreate this iconic scene from Wonder Woman (at least the part where she decides to climb the ladder):

Great idea! My first thought was the suckerpunch zombie scene, but i don't have any of those figures. The WW I do have! Wonder how much it retails for.

I like these accessories (ladder, wall, etc) quite a lot. Some additional weathering will make them really sparkle -- or rather the opposite, but that would be what one wants to make them look more real.

Timewalker has the trench up for PO at $76 USD ($79 MSRP).

I was wondering about the weird chevrons, thanks for the info! I had no idea they were based on a real example (albeit badly done). Also for the jerkin. I didn't notice the shoulder width issue.

I might be able to use the jerkin for a non-historical project. I will see how much some of these items go for separately.
