Dragon Models WWII Ardennes 1944/45 7th Armored Division BAR Gunner Wiley

This is a 1:6 scale (approximately 12 inches tall) 'New Generation Life Action Figure' titled 'Wiley,' representing a BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) Gunner from the 7th Armored Division during the Ardennes campaign (Battle of the Bulge) in 1944/45. Produced by Dragon Models Ltd (Item No. 70171), the figure features a 'Neo Body' with triple-jointed arms and legs for high poseability. The character is depicted in a winter-specific ensemble, including a white hooded winter smock over a standard uniform, a realistic olive drab M1 helmet, and black combat boots. He is equipped with a detailed 1/6 scale BAR featuring a bipod and leather sling, along with web gear that includes ammunition pouches and a hand grenade. The packaging exhibits high-quality graphics with a sepia-toned historical backdrop. The condition of the box appears to be good with minimal shelf wear at the top corners and edges. The printing remains vibrant, and the internal contents are obscured by the cardboard packaging, suggesting it may still be factory-sealed. This represents a modern collector's piece designed for ages 14 and up, characterized by high-fidelity craftsmanship and historical accuracy typical of Dragon's military line.
