Much as I will readily jump on w@nk ideas, I think this is a great one, showing a rare display of initiative and willingness to seize an opportunity. Whether the pinko activists like it or not, boys like playing with soldiers and guns, not macrame, and there's a very real possibility the MoD might make money with this.
It's got to be better than the various 'mint' companies purveying their crap.

Cause the only thing you can put him in is a large plastic aeroplane with two engine intakes and four engine nozzles. Click on the photo of the Tank in the linked webpage and you will see a picture of it.

Will the RN ones come with easy to remove iPods, clip-on shoulder chips, tin foil hats and a note from mum that restricts them to home waters and the West Indies?

Why does he look like he has just taken his turn in the Barrel??
I trust they are non gender specific and come with an E&D pamphlet.
They should have some fat ones in skirts as well with just a hint of facial hair. Equality and all that.
Kids will need a separate toybox for the FJ pilot figures. They could not possibly share with the other dolls (unless it's a thick Barbie).
