Nice to see something different , and a fair bit of kit with him . I wonder if there are any fitting 1/6th scale British Bikes for him out there .

I’m not too familiar with this niche of military history, but I get the impression that this is more WWI rather than II, and the sculpt looks like an Asian guy. Even the photo backgrounds scream WWI. So many incongruities to this. Perhaps someone with military history background could give their two cents and correct me if I’m wrong.

I thought the same. The stengun is definitely WW2 though.

The helmet is odd. It's not the typical British helmet of WW1 and WW2. It may be historical, but it doesn't look familiar to me. I can't really imagine the British issueing a different helmet specifically for couriers. Unless maybe if it's a motorcycle helmet.

I found this though:

But although according to the description it's a British motrocyclist, his helmet more like a US-helmet.

On this site the British motorcyclist have the usual-style British helmet.:

I, too, was completely unfamiliar with this look. But I do like the head.

Sculpt looks like Johnathan Rhys to me.

I thought the same thing, csyeung.

It's supposed to be a WW2 Despatch Rider, from the Royal Signals, wearing the waterproof leggings and rubberised overcoat used from 1940. The helmet is a bit odd, but heading in the right direction: the original was a fibre crash-helmet, not a steel helmet.
Having said that, it's a bit of a nightmare, with almost everything the wrong colour , size or texture.
The boots might be tolerable.

And no , O Great Chinese Manufacturers, modern British film stars tonsorial tastes do not make a good basis for representing the hairstyles of 1940. A messy little goatee like that was impossible for a soldier.

He also looks a bit daft without the motorbike.But if they make one to go with him, I shall forgive them almost anything !
