For its 2004 Anniversary  bbi has selected to produce a limited edition figure, depicting a WWII soldier from the British 6th Airborne Division. The figure is named Sergeant roger Cooke and he is a member of the 5th Parachute Brigade. Since 2004 was the 60th anniversary of D-Day this figure is a very fitting tribute, and as the box states it is in the Memory of D-Day, June 6th, 1944. This figure was limited to 2004 pieces.

Review

This is a nice figure with lots of detail and accessories. The box has some very nice graphics with the paratroopers dropping from the ski; and since this is a D-Day theme, I am assuming it is June 6th, 1944.

When you open the two front flaps on the box you get a view of the figure and its accessories safely tucked away behind a plastic cover. On one of the side flaps there is a certificate stating that this is a limited edition. The back of the box as a brief paragraph on the British 6th Airborne Division AKA the "Red Devils"

The green eyes are cool and when I looked under the magnifying glass I noticed that they were a little bloodshot this is a nice touch. The only thing that is puzzling me about the eyes is that they are looking off to the left and not strait ahead, I think this makes the figure look a little shifty but it definitely gives him character.

The figure also has a slight 5o'clock shadow and the mouth has some nice detail with the teeth.

Overall the  head sculpt has a lot of character and detail. Unfortunately our figure's head sculpt does have one problem A paint defect on the hair line just below the part in the hair on his left side. In a limited run collectable figure of this caliber this is unacceptable and Roger looses two points here for quality.

Personally I have always liked the bbi bodies and the way the heads are connected; they are made to be easily swapped out, this is great for customizing. Rogers G3.5 body is a real plus.
