Dragon in Dream has improved greatly since they made headlines back in 2008 with their 1/6 President Obama. While most of their efforts have been devoted to the Nazis of WWII, they're finally moving on to the Allies with their rendition of the Prime Minister of the U.K., Winston Churchill.
Just like their competitor, Hot Toys, Dragon in Dream does not skimp when it comes to details or accessories. Loaded in this package are two heads, with one allowing for a cigar, eyeglasses, a pocket watch, walking cane, extra cigars and a BBC radio microphone. The likeness to Churchill is uncanny and some of DiD's best work to date.
I've liked DiD for some time and I'm glad to see some quality sculpts from people that aren't Hot Toys. What's better is that the price is a bit more palatable than what we've seen as the recent trend for 1/6 figures, with the DiD 1/6 Winston Churchill coming in at ¥15,048 retail. Considering everything that you're getting, not a bad price at all. If only they'd get on the ball for a FDR and Stalin so I can get a full Yalta Conference going. Check out the gallery below to see the full rundown of the Minister.
