For a water assault! The flippers plug into the back of the vest near the lower back. Lots of guns (His signature weapon apparently being an FN Scar!) come with him and though I appreciate the 1 knife and 2 sheaths, I wish there as a holster for that pistol. Also, the cable from the tech on his thigh will not stay in the plug on the ankle. I used the clear rubber band to hold that in place. Design plus accessories make this a very close 2nd for best figure of the wave.
Firefly's armor plugs in just like beachhead's flippers. I was a little bugged by how skinny firefly is. The helmet head won't fit in the backpack for transport, which also bugs me. My standard no holster complaints on this figure as well. I think I'm liking the resolute Firefly better, which comes with a great body armor vest with a knife sheath at the small of the back.
Alley Viper is just as awesome as the first release, love the new helmet/goggles and the ascension gun now stays on the backpack!
I already had Snow Job from Hong Kong but this is really the best figure of the entire wave. The way all of the accessories fit together on the backpack, and the lean to you can make out of them is just too cool. The one complaint on this figure is the proportions of the rifle. It's just too thick/large for the figure to hold correctly. I did notice the upcoming Recondo has a much more slimmed down rifle so maybe they're figuring weapon proportions out.
I didn't open the CC but the head redesign definitely makes this figure. I wish the drone came with him as he's kinda bare. At least the pistol plugs into his thigh...
Duke was surprisingly a decent figure, the head sculpt is really good. The sculpt and paint apps are really good on the arms, down to the mud spatter near the hands. I do like the spandex bands that allow you to hold the nice looking m4 or SAW on the backpack. The flashlight fitting in the backpack is just OK, I'd rather it have been binoculars that fit in there. The web gear is nice without getting too much in the way.
Snake Eyes is much better than I expected, the head being the really nice part. The visor is translucent gray and you can see underneath that the area that is exposed is painted which is a really nice touch. The waste harness isn't really needed as the mac10's hang from the vest clips. Timber is really nice, it's the only thing that makes me want to open this figure. Truth be told, if you already have the paris pursuit figure (Same sword/sheath, rifle and body with the exception of the arctic SE head), you may want to skip this one if you can do without an awesome Timber.
SS..... I dunno, this figure is just not very practical. Don't get me wrong because I do like the figure, it comes with a great set of accessories. The waist gear really gets in the way of articulation a bit but it makes a good home to four shuriken. I was chatting with someone about the figure that I think this body is better suited for customs. If you have a resolute SS from the comic pack, you also have as extra metal mask to throw on this figure. If you're into the ninja thing, you could have POC SS as a Dice with the metal mask and comic pack resolute SS as Budo. Just musing but I just don't see a ninja assassin running around with noisy gear like this.
