Hauptsturmfuhrer Otto Skorzeny: Dragon

For those of you that don't want to spend a fortune but at the same time are looking for the very best in quality and collectability, you need look no farther than Dragon Modeling Ltd. DML was established in 1987 to manufacture plastic Model Kits according to its own designs. The high quality products that DML has produced have won numerous awards from magazines and modeling societies throughout the world. They are becoming very popular at collector toy conventions and as you can see from the pics I took last weekend there are plenty to choose from. To date Dragon has produced more than 1,000 different models so you won't run out of thing to collect any time soon. Priced around $40-60.00 mint in box, but you can also find lose figures in good condition for anywhere from 25.00-$30.00 per piece.
I myself picked up this beautiful Otto Skorzeny figure for C$25.00 at the last toy show, out of box. It has absolutely no wear what-so-ever and looks like it was manufactured yesterday. Released in July 1993 this is an exceptional representation of Otto Skorzeny as he looked in the Gran Sasso Raid of 1943. Otto Skorzeny was chosen as the field commander to carry out the rescue mission that freed the deposed Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from captivity.  Skorzeny was also the leader of Operation Grief, in which German soldiers were to infiltrate through enemy lines, using their opponents’ language, uniforms, and customs to cause as much destruction and sabotage as possible. I'm very exciting about picking this up and everyone that has seen it so far marvels at the detail.
