Sorry to double post here but I just opened my Resolute 5-pack and I wanted to add my initial comments...
First off: I don't like that Cobra Commander at all. Before today I never bought any Resolute figures except the blue trooper since the head swap I did made him into a SWAT character. The regular Cobra Commander didn't do it for me and neither does the one in this set. He can't sit down let alone bend his legs properly, his helmet doesn't fit or stay on right, and the cape looks goofy to me. I'll totally sell it or trade it to anyone here.
Second: I hate Resolute Lurch, I mean, Duke. His head is big, square, and devoid of any emotion. It looks like a dead fish. I wasn't a fan of the original one, either, so I never picked it up. To make this version more palatable I swapped heads with the blond, bearded "Breaker" green shirt to make a Resolute Topside or someone like that. I almost made a Resolute Flint but the Wave 11 head sits too high on the neck so I opted for a new character. Ditched the goofy glider pack and stuck the helmet back on and it works enough for me to display it.
Third: Resolute BAT is OK by me. Looks like "inferno BAT" or what you'd get if a BAT was chasing you through a raging fire like in The Terminator. Either way the charred look to it makes a unique upgrade to the appearance of the BAT.
Fourth: I much prefer the red troopers with Fred heads and Crimson Guard helmets on them. The red on the boots matches the helmets pretty nicely and ties the whole figure together. It looks like a Resolute Crimson Guard and will be displayed.
Overall it wasn't the worst $17 I'd ever spent in my life. Get rid of that Cobra Commander and what's left isn't too shabby...
