One of the most famous generals of the 20th
century – a competitor at one time to the US president himself – Douglas Macarthur
led a very full life – from the Veracruz expedition to serving in the first
world war through his dramatic retreat from the Philippines and his “return”,
he was the mas to accept the surrender of the Japanese forces that signalled
the end of WWII. He also served as the commander of the allied powers in the
Korean war before he was taken from command by the President who was scared of
just how far this man would go in the war.
Life Miniatures has announced their release of my 1/9th scale bust
to go along with their other wonderful works of historical figures. This time
the spotlight is on the U.N. supreme commander Gen. Douglas MacArthur – large
pipe and high peaked cap all in place – he comes in six part of grey resin –
the head and officer’s cap, the pipe in two parts and torso with small stand as
well. This figure was originally going to come with his trademark aviator sunglasses
as well – but this plan was shelved at the last minute.
You can now purchase this bust from Life Miniatures Distributors
worldwide.
