I wonder how many reactionaries are into WWII hobbies anyway? It always seemed like a hobby/market aimed at bored boomers with money to burn. I know in Japan they have a huge market for WWII stuff like model kits and toys.
I feel like this is basically a kitbash of those types of dolls from the same manufacturers of like GI-Joes or whatever - the helmet looks like a more modern cloth-covered type rather than a stahlhelm-type thing (this is probably why it's displayed from the top rather than the side), and it comes with a WW1-era Mauser with a shoulder stock. Someone at a factory somewhere looked at bins of spare bits and had an idea, I think.
Not a toy that should be aimed at children. Usually these historical WWII 1:6th figures are for adult collectors.

We call those NATO peacekeepers nowadays.
I imagine the toy makers wanted bad guys but didn't think this one through.
