It's been a while since a 1:6 scale company / manufacturer decided to produce and release a 12-inch SDU (Special Duties Unit) Assault Team Member. It was many years ago back in 1999 that Dragon Models Limited (DML) released the first 1:6 scale SDU Assault Team Leader 12-inch action figure - reviewed on my toy blog HERE followed by the entire team (see pictures HERE). Hot Toys also released SDU figures back in 2003 - see my action figure review HERE and HERE.
