In 2000 Hasbro offered a special collection
commemorating the WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam wars called the Millennium
Series. The collection consist of four detailed figures with dioramas from
each war. This month will be the final installment of our coverage of the
Millennium series. The figure being reviewed depicts a Captain Lamb of
the 1st Air Cavalry during the Vietnam war.
Like the other figures in the millennium series this
one comes packed in a plain white box which provides basic protection for
the figure but adds little to the overall experience. However, once you
remove the figure from the package you will see a fantastic diorama of
Helicopter with a Machine gun.
The head sculpt is one that I have seen before but none
the less it make the figure. The body like the entire series is extremely articulate
and has a nice weight. The figure is well balanced and stands up on its own
with little effort.
Captain Lamb's uniform consist of pants, shirt, hat,
belt, holster, sun glasses and boots for the most part it is of average
design, but it does serve its purpose. I do have one issue with the uniform,
the patches are peeling off in places.
Summary:
Despite its short falls this figure is worth adding to
any collection and the diorama alone is worth the price.
