>>11565068This isn't very historically accurate
>>11566071You don't know that, you weren't their!

>>11566094Kek. Came to post this.
There isn't alot of of George Washington figures, But I can share what I knoe because I'm a fan of ol' Georgie.Best Washington is the 1/6 Sculpture Time Washington with a great headsculpt and quality accessories. Real wood was used on the gun stock of his pistol & rifle! However the figure is LOOONG sold out with only 500 units made. Finding one would be very hard and expect to pay wallet raping prices if you do.
>>11571093Next up is the 2006 Sideshow Washington. One of their older figure, but it's Sideshow, so it's always quality. Back in 2006, he was $60. Now he's $200+ on the secondary market.
>>11571100If you want a good balance of price, quality, and availability, then the GI Joe Classic Collection George Washington is your best bet. He was released back in the 90's, but you can still get him new in box for around $50 on the secondary market. The sculpt is dated as is the body articulation. But the clothes are better made than most modern figures, And he comes with a table and an American flag along with the standard pistol & sword.This is the figure I have and I like him alot.
>>11571107>B-but I don't like 1/6 scale! If you're looking for any kind of historical figure that's NOT 1/6 then you're SOL. Companies knoe that people who want an action figure based off real history are adults, who want 1/6 "quality" street cred, and are willing to shell out $200+ on one figure. Besides, it's cheaper and faster to hire a Chiniese sweatshop to make a bunch of 1/6 scale colonial military outfits rather than to go through the process of making a big, costly die mold for one niche figure.So anyways, if you don't want 1/6 and you want to buy something new, not secondhand, then the World Greatest Presidents! Washington is for you. He's 9 inch Mego sized, which is almost as bad as 1/6. And he comes with no accessories. Not even a tricorn hat. But he's on Amazon for around $35. If you need a sword and pistol for George, then places like Classic TV Toys online sell Mego scale accessories for cheap.
>>11571121Last, let's all laugh at Leaders of the Free World George Washington. Looks nothing like ol' George. They didn't even bother to dress him in a blue coat as he's usually depicted wearing. "Soldiers of the World" figures were always the bottom tier of figures back during the days of the 1/6 boom. They were cheap at under $10 back in the late 90's~early 00's. Now they're around $30~$50 on the secondary. Avoid.
>>11571093This one is pretty great.Kind of wish they had a more cartoonish looking Washington.
>>11571093Bless you anon, I'm not OP but this is the kind of stuff I enjoy learning about on /toy/
