ok, so some chinese company is cranking out these $200ish dolls of old nazi soldiers looks familiar, but "that's just what all german people look like" and it's not meant to be a specific footballer...

Is there that big a market for Nazi action figures?

Either the designer is a huge football fan or he/she googled "German" and the name "Bastian" at the same time and his image was the first that came up.

Is that a Nazi or just a German supply clerk? I know a lot of people want to draw similar distinctions when it comes to creeping Pan-Arabism.

If they ever need a player model for an Waffen SS officer I think Manuel Neuer perfectly fits the bill.

and what's hilarious to me is that he's a dead ringer for jack wilshere at this angle, however he's not a manlet nor is he in a wheelchair/walking-boot/crutches (aka "crvtches" which is pronounced "crutches" --- LONG LIVE LAUREN MAYBERRY!!!!! *SCHWING*)

JORR, why are you sucking the fun out of this? i thought you knew that EVERY german is a nazi until they properly heel (like a dog, not a wrestler) and apologize for the sins of their forefathers and demand more refugees to come in! =D
