| Dragon Models Soldat 003 - PVT. Harry
Collins - British Paratrooper - 1st Airborne Division
Dragon has added yet another figure to their Soldat
series named Harry Collins. Harry is the third in the series and the most
detailed thus far. This figure is depicting a Pvt. in the British 1st
Airborne and comes in two versions the one we are reviewing is without
a working chute and the second version is with the working chute. |

Review
Soldat
003 is a winner and a keeper plain and simple. This is the most
detailed Soldat to date, and that is saying something. Our version came
in the standard black Soldat box that when opened exposes three windows.
The large window in the middle has the figure and the opposing smaller windows have
the accessories. As with all Soldat the packing is top notch, I have to
give Dragon high marks here..
|
|
| The head sculpt is nicely done, its very clean and has
allot of detail. Our test figure was nicely painted with no noticeable
defects. I have noticed with each new Soldat the quality has gone up;
there is a definite improvement from Soldat 001.
|
 |
| Harry has a standard Dragon type body which is very
articulate and a very nice quality. I did not find any problems or
defects with our test figure's body.
The costume is first rate he comes with a full uniform under garments
jacket and helmet. Harry's uniform is loaded with quality and superb
craftsmanship right
down to the smallest details in the pockets and buttons. Dragon has done a first rate job
this with this costume.

 |
| The accessories is the area where all the Soldat figures
excel, and Soldat 003 does the series proud. Harry has everything you
could want, he includes such things as personal papers, rations, a mess kit, cutlery, tools,
weapons, lots of ammo, and don't forget the chutes. |
 |
Summary:
Harry Collis is an outstanding figure and the best
Soldat to date, with lots of accessories and quality this is definitely a
keeper.
