Dam Toys Leon Arrived today. Here are a few shots.
This version of Leon in his Raccoon Police Department gear is superior to the version made by Hot Toys in 2008. Of course that was based off of a game from 2004, this was based on a game from 2019. This look is less stylized.
I like the figure overall, the head sculpt is AMAZING, like with most Dam Toys figures. The tailoring on the uniform is very nice, and the guns and accessories are fantastic.
My only complaint is that the tactical belt seems a bit cheap, it's just rubber with velcro, the pouches made of a similar material.
I think that Dam Toys could have done a better job on the tool belt when it is compared to their modern military figures.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the quality of the figure and happy to own it.

It’s really nice to see another Police officer on the forum. Excellent photos you’v taken of Leon. I’m really liking the black and white head shot. A picture of Leon definitely needs to be put in the police figure thread https://actionmanmobileops.forumotion.co.uk/t11454-police-figure-thread

He does look good , nice detailed figure , though I think your background has helped him along . The ammo boxes look awesome did they come with the figure ?

Overall nice looking figure. Thanks for posting the pics!
I agree with your assessment of the belt, and I am also disappointed in the boots (especially as this is Hot Toys). Real leather boots with laces are available from several other makers (BGT, NLM and DiD) and I think that is a let-down on this figure.
Thanks, Brian

Your diorama details outshine the figure! Love that dumped-over rubbish bin with the bottles spilling out.
As always, the moss in the bricks catches my eye. Such a cool detail!
Are the cartridge boxes an accessory that came with the figure, or did you make those?

Thanks Alex! I have a few cops that I should get together to post into that thread!
Thanks Chip! Yeah the ammo boxes came with him. I think they're based on ammo in game.
Thanks Brian! Yeah the belt is a shame but I guess the ambition was to make him look like the in-game model. This one is actually Dam Toys, I have the Hot Toys RPD Leon buy he has never left his box.
Thanks Gary!
Thank you Dal!
Haha, thank you Dave! Maybe Dam Toys should just send me their modern military figures for me to make dioramas for them to pose in... ugh can you imagine. The ammunition came with the figure.

D'oh, you said Dam Toys...thanks for the correction. Funny how you can get something in your head and not see what is right in front of you.
And I also should have mentioned your backdrop looks better every time I see it!
