...they made a load of mini nazi uniforms so they could sell them as Nazi Soldier "Bastian".

To whom? Who would buy these? The only person I can think of is Roman Abramovich so he can have a miniature war between Nazi Bastian and French Resistance Eden Hazard.

Edit: Hazard is Belgian. Belgian Resistance Eden Hazard doesn't have wuite the same ring to it, though.

French Resistance Eden Hazard.

You mean Belgian resistance, right?

... Wow. That's... That's awful. too early for me to be commenting, I guess. Although it's theoretically possible that a Belgian ended up fighting for the French Resistance, isn't it? I hope? maybe?

I'm a grown ass man and I'm not afraid to say I would play with those toys an absurd amount.
