Well what can be said that cant clearly be seen in this picture. This dude is a bad ass machine of war. This guy is from the anime JinRoh - The Wolf Brigade. The story of a special unit of police called Kerberos Panzer Cops. A lot of German influence going on here. From the weapons down to the armor, and most noticable that helmet just screams German SS soldier. Basically the special unit is sort of a special forces group within the Japanese police. These guys are the shock troops, they do the dirty work. Counter Terrorism at its best, the intimidation factor alone in these guys outfits disolves any situation quick.
So again the story is basically what if during WWII the Germans had won the war and changed Japanese society. So in the anime, Japanese culture is severely changed and showcases a very fascist like quality. I dont want to go to much into the anime cause its kind of a complex story that could go on for a while. A solid story, with solid action and violence to say the least. These guys carry basic German Mauser pistols but the real beauty is when they pull out that MG44 and just start mowing shit down. Makes for some intense scenes when you see people getting shredded.
So about the figure, its a Medicom R.A.H. known in the toy world as Real Action Hero. The R.A.H. figures are also another 1:6 toy, again a 12 inch figure. Medicom is a Japanese toy company so most of there products usually originate from Anime or some kind of Sentai/Tokusatsu (Ultraman, Power Rangers, etc...) Theres a few other versions of the Panzer Cops out there from other companies but these guys are kind of a cult classic and are pretty steep when it comes to purchasing one. The Medicom version seen here is probably the cheapest version of all the JinRoh figures. If your wondering the meaning JinRoh would literally be Manwolf, and within the anime you see why these guys represent the wolf. They trust no one, they work as group, and they usually do there work in the moonlight. Like the wolf they do what they will to survive, even if it means eliminating one of there own.
