I'm looking forward to the Marauders repaint, largely because this figure's eyes, while awesome, are also somewhat limiting, in that he has no range.

I like that everything looks in scale! So hard to do outdoors. Nice job! And I've seen the repaint, but thought it was the same head? Does he look less.. surprised now? His eyes bug me a bit too, glad to hear you mention it. He's such a good figure but the "WTF" look on his face always makes me imagine he's gotten all geared up and is sneaking through the wilderness when he stumbles upon Cobra's Village People detachment.

Looks good brother. Liking the use of the Beach Head scarf. Yes he has a doll face a little bit. I was so pumped that he and Quick Kick got remade.

Thanks, guys.

In certain photos he does:

He almost looks too happy in that one, but I don't know if that's really what he'll look like. I've seen subtle variations in factory paint jobs result in huge differences; I have a few RoC Dukes, and I could pose two of them alongside one another and pass them off as different characters.

The paint on my Spirit's face is pretty rough; part of his headband is flesh-colored, and I find it distracting. One more reason I'm excited to have another version. That said, that tattoo looks corny; I was spoiled by Sigma 6 in that regard:
