This is one I have been waiting for ever since it was revealed a few months ago. I loved Beachhead as a kid, he was one of the last I ever bought and was immediately well used. I was happy when he was released again late last year, but he was far from perfect, lack of range of motion in the arms, cool tactical vest yet it hindered the arms even further and he just seemed a little off. So, an upgrade seemed like a blessing.
And this figure delivers. As far as the usual reissue figure go in the comic packs, this one is by far the best. The colors are almost a perfect match for the vintage, and the overall look is identical. His new vest is styled just like the old one with ammo clips in the front. His gun is almost identical to the vintage, the difference being a removable ammo clip. And, just in case you loose it, his satchel has another removable one. He has a new head, which is larger and better detailed, but also comes with an interchangeable one and half pulled down balaclava. The unmasked head is a great sculpt and has fantastic paint apps to simulate a close cropped shaved head. Apparently Beachhead sports a handlebar mustache, which seems appropriate for someone who proudly professes to not wear deodorant. (sorry, couldn't resist the nod to the cartoon!) The one downside is that this figure suffers from the same problem as the comic pack Firefly, his included pistol does not fit well into his holster. And, as much as he came with, adding his backpack would have been cool too, but I understand the need of costs.
Overall, this figure is now one of my favorites. Great update, and well worth the price of the comic pack alone.
FIGURE RATING: 9 out of 10
with out the mask, he is inspired from some episodes of sunbow gijoe and partly inspired from the marvel gijoe comics!
