Description

 

The British Infantry is based on the well tried and tested regimental system. It consists of 36 regular battalions and 14 territorial battalions and forms 18 Regiments.

Incredibly detailed and authentic, this fully articulated 10 inch action figure is based on the real Mortar operator of today. The figure features removable fabric desert camouflage uniform and combined body armour and patrol vest with additional neck and arm protection. The clothing is designed to provide the soldier with exactly the right degree of protection for any operational environment. It has to satisfy stringent military requirements such as infrared reflection, thermal signature and flame resistance. This all action Army figure also has a removable combat helmet inspired by the Mark 6a combat helmet that provides outstanding protection while allowing the soldier to wear a respirator, ear defenders, goggles and a radio set.

This action figure has a miniature replica British Army standard 5.56mm assault rifle with sling as well as an 81mm mortar and mortar round modelled on the real L16A2 81mm Mortar. This awesome piece of kit is a Battlegroup level, indirect fire weapon that is capable of providing accurate High Explosive, smoke and illuminating rounds out to a maximum range of 5,650m. Mortar operators in mechanised and armoured infantry battalions can fire from armoured personnel carriers. This increases their mobility, and enables fast disengagement and movement.

Top 100 Toys Reviewer

At 31 years old and a big fan of Palitoys Action Man both as a child and as a subsequent adult collector I never thought I'd see the day another British toy would step up to bat and come up trumps. This range certainly does that. I was amazed by the quality, detail, posability and overall playability with this figure and line in general. Play.com's price of being cheaper with free delivery even adds to the value for money. In an ideal world the mortar would have spring fired capability like the old Action Man one but in these heady days of toy safety it is understandable. What I really like about this toy is that it is still a toy, you can see the detail but you know its for kids. As somewhat of a big kid its great to see another British armed forces themed toyline back on the market. Long may it reign and hopefully oneday attain a place alongside Action Man as a cultural icon.
