This sucker has been waiting for me to get, oh wait, I have been waiting for him to arrive at the stores. I got this image from Creative Commons, so I think I'm safe...thanks to CG76 (photographer).Well as you see he is pretty close to the original version. He's a bit taller, articulation is surpassed, and the sculpt is extensive rather than simple.
I have a bit more pictures, not from me, but from a guy named ultraprime2007, so thanks. as you see he has a removable vest, his goggles, back pack, and gun are also removable. The head is on a ball joint and pops off easily so you can slip the vest on easier. Now for the troubles of the figure. Overall I like the figure, very cool and updated. The sculpting is ok, the hands as you see are sculpted at a slant. I can understand why, but can't understand why it's sculpted like that, when other figures has straight wrist and can accommodate the weapons well. It's a bit of a struggle to hold the weapons, I hold it at the barrel, rather than the long handle at the end. It's nearly impossible. The hands are made from soft plastic so that makes it even more difficult. The second issue is the goggles. They are loose. They aren't as tight when you put them on. They tend to fall off easily. The foot pegs are moved up too. It's harder to put him on the base and on a HISS Tank. Rather than on a heel they are moved up to the toes. The feet sculpt restricts the ankle movement, so it's harder to get him balanced. His arms are like battle damaged Snake Eyes, his shoulder bends down at an angle. The right elbow is sculpted to the right, rather than under and straight. It's kind of stupid to me, he could have a regular elbow and still hold his gun. Other than all those issues, I don't know he's a likeable figure, but the issues aren't good when playing with him. You'll be having more time fixing him than playing. I'd give him a 7 out of 10. He's not ridiculously horrible, it's just the design...
Here is the classic episode of The Viper is Coming. It has nothing to do with this figure, but it's funny. It comes in two parts.
Well I hope you enjoyed. I know I'm just writing all of this for fun, maybe someone will actually read this. DTM out...
