King & Country DD287-2 Blast Injury — 101st Airborne: A Wounded Paratrooper and an Immediate Companion

The scene begins after the explosion

King & Country describes a nearby mortar burst and a wounded man attempting to get up. The sculpt concentrates on the next human action: another soldier reaching him.

The helper’s presence matters as much as the visible injury. It turns the release from an isolated casualty figure into a relationship between two men.

Keep the eagle version distinct

The 101st identification and DD287-2 suffix separate this release from the 82nd Airborne pair. Shoulder photographs are useful where packaging is missing or a listing uses only the shortened DD287 number.

The two men are anonymous in the product record. Their division is specified, but their names and exact location are not.

A different kind of companion for the action sets

DD285-2 shows coordinated fire, and DD286-2 supplies a low ready pose. This pair adds the consequences of combat and a soldier’s immediate response to them.

They can sit in their own vignette within the wider airborne collection. A restrained setting gives the wounded man and the reaching helper the space they need, without surrounding the group with activity that overwhelms it.

DD287-2 earns its place through that close interaction. The detail to preserve in a display is the connection between the men, with their equipment and insignia supporting the story around it.

Release record and collecting notes

Sager’s archived DD287-2 product record lists a release date of June 2016. These are catalog dates, rather than a statement about today’s secondhand availability.
