King & Country WS287 Kneeling Loading: The Rifleman Pauses to Prepare His Weapon

A low figure without a broad scenic platform

The kneeling body meets the surface directly, making the figure useful where a large sand or grass base would interrupt the display. The covered helmet and gray trousers give the upper and lower body contrasting tones.

The rifle’s diagonal line is particularly clear from the front quarter. A side view taken from too low an angle can hide the working hand behind the weapon.

Preparation gives an infantry group variety

WS289 kneels with an upright rifle, while WS290 uses binoculars. WS287 adds a different action at the same general height, allowing a small group to avoid repeated firing poses.

The release is one figure. Any vehicle or cover used beneath or beside him remains a separate addition.

WS287 belongs in the catalog as the kneeling loading subject. The hand at the rifle’s action, covered helmet and diagonal weapon are the details to keep visible when comparing an example with other low German infantry figures.

Release record and collecting notes

Sager’s archived WS287 product record lists a release date of May 2014 and a retirement date of May 2019. These are catalog dates, rather than a statement about today’s secondhand availability.
