Who is he?

Firstly, great site...given me hours of fun. Glad to be part of it.

Secondly, had my collection of AF since '84 and sent the forces into more than a few hot-zones, but only recently have I noticed I've got two Infantrymen which are very different. One is the standard "Wheels" torso, and the other has the body of the Captain/Radio Operator?

Can anyone shed any light on this mystery figure?

Had both since new and only noticed the difference cos I might venture into customs. Don't want to put him under the knife if he is a rarity.

Ahhh - right! I was thinking you meant Z Force Infantryman! That's why I was excited! I do know a thing or two about SAS Commando variants though. ;-)

Oh, its definitely a mind Baron - no allegedness about it. It's in the gutter, and has a tendency to wander off, but it's definitely a mind!

Weird! I've never seen that before. There's definitely no sign of tampering along the torso seam?

He has the radio operators legs, torso and left arm, but the Infantryman head and right arm!
