I completely agree... although, (and I know I'm in the minority here, fellas) I think Chuckles comes the closest. And Agent Faces, when he's in the Crimson Guard Uniform is not too bad. But even Lady Jaye looks more like a soldier than the spy she's supposed to be.
Even Action Man's name is stupid. I'm glad they made him. It's cool to give a nod to the British guys. He's a lot like a super James Bond, and that's great... but he needs a better code name and a better uniform.
Now, I've asked this before, but I'll ask it again since we're on the subject: How about they change his name to Agent Dagger? or just Dagger? or How about "Spartan"... there's a good reason for this one.
The British Special Ops guys love daggers, it's the main feature for just about all their Special Operations Team insignias.
"Spartan" would be good, because a Greek/Spartan helmet is the new symbol for the British Special Reconisaince Regiment - S.R.R., which is the UK's version of our Intelligence Support Activity - I.S.A. These guy's are Commando-Spies and very often have to work alone or in very small groups. They're basically the intelligence counterpart to Delta Force, or in the case of the UK, the S.A.S.
So how about it, guys? How about changing Action Man's name to Dagger or Spartan?
