Heya Joes, hope everyone is enjoying their labor day. I was unfortunate enough to pull mandatory OT duty, so i'm in the pitt today, managing my minions with an iron fist!
Picked up some of Wave2 POC yesterday, but i am less impressed than i was with Wave1. I got Dustyx2, Zartan, and Recondo. I passed on Snake Eyes (lame kick, if they would have skipped the lametastic action feature,i would have bought him), Jungle Viper (definitely not impressed with this guy) and Destro (i want some of his parts and gear, but will wait for trades or discounts).
I like Zartan ok, i would have loved him with the Vosloo head. The sandstorm head is awesome though, i really want a couple more of just that head! I would have liked better accessories than that tired .45 and the G36 compact...perhaps a silenced pistol and a sniper rifle, or some rifle with range considering he will be in the desert. I don't really get the Bird on a stick accessory...so it goes in my "WTF" bucket.
Dusty...here is a pretty cool figure, imo. The main body is solid, and his helmet/goggles combo looks great. I wish they could have hooked him up with a cloth accessory for the helmet, to harken back to the old dusty concept. The wrap/cape thing is cool though. I don't get the blast wings on his belt/harness though...The alternate head is simply awesome, but in a cobra way. It will find it's way to some kind of cobra custom trooper of mine. The gear is ok, but kind of odd. He has a PDW that looks familiar but i can't place the make/model and a machine pistol w/fixed stock that looks underscaled and strangely familiar. I would have rather seen the ROC fn2000 but modded up with wraps for desert camo and then one of the small arms he came with. Or just give us the FN2000 instead of the bizarre razorwire coil he came with. Again, another accessory to toss in my "WTF" bucket.
Ahhh, Recondo..I thought he was gonna be the jewel of this wave...I find myself not liking him. My biggest gripe is the limited movement of the head. He can only scowl down at his feet or look sideways like he can't figure out what you are trying to tell him. The head sculpt itself is great though, very evocative of Jesse Ventura. The body sculpt is good, but not very joe-ish. I almost think he would have made a better Gnawgahyde. The hat is cool, but mine doesn't stay on. The gear....whew, ok. The sniper rifle gets points for the wraps, but it's soooooo tiny that, to me, it's unusable. The assault rifle is kinda small, but serviceable. His vest is fair, but in the current deco looks unjoelike. The SatPhone is a sweet touch though. The monkey mask is rediculous and joins the WH40k Orkish mantraps in a trip to my "WTF" Bucket. The backpack could have been cool without the winding rope gimmick, if they would have let it open like FF's pack. The axes are so so, why does he need two though? I think one would suffice. And i wish they stowed to the pack instead of his vest...would have helped articulation instead of hindering it.
If you have these guys, what do you think?
