SIDESHOW FLINT Pics and Comments

[Hawk 7222]

FLINT

This will be short and to the point. Lots of simple good here and very little bad.

Headsculpt: Great. Some feared a molded beret but, those fears were unfounded. Great beret/headsculpt and fit.

Uniform: Shirt is well fitted/trousers are tiger stripe which fit and have been used on many a custom Flint including my own.

I only have a couple of issues. My figure has a frayed belt. See bottom pic. I wish the pistol holster had smaller buckles and that he had some kneepads built in to his pants.

All in all I think this figure works well and delivers.

Wow, that's bad. Have you contacted Sideshow? If not you can try using a lighter to burn it off.

[(GI)Joe]

i would contact sideshow. im going to contact them about the horrendous mis-spellings on the back of the file card... i mean thats just awful - completely awful and i would hope SS is embarassed by this and has already been brought to their attention.

very sad

[WhiteHawk]

Reminds me of the error on the Transformers Masterpiece Prime and Magnus, which has "More than meets teh eye". Same error even with the reissue version of Magnus.

[Hawk 7222]

I will. I just read the file card and the funny thing is some of the words they mispelled there are correct inside.

[haradrel]

All mistakes aside
I find it particularly interesting that they chose to go with Tiger Stripe pants and not the original woodland pants he had.

figure looks good , just annoys me that they raise the price point on these figures due to whatever the reason... labor , cost , whatever it is.. we pay a premium price set by sideshow and the end result is a mis spelled file card. like paying for a 60k infinity and you get the car and the name plate on the car is spelled infnity

I used the tiger stripe's from Hot Toys John Connor. They are more subdued. I thinkI will try to get a loose sideshow beret and swap out the hasbro one.

The backpack on my Firefly was messed up, so I contacted Sideshow and they sent me a replacement for free.

[Griff]

[Hawk 7222]

I sent a customer service message re: messed up harness to Sideshow. I will let you guys know how it goes.

[SVantley]

Great review Hawk, but I must say I'm shocked you liked the head.

[Hawk 7222]

Rec'd a new harness and belt today from ss. I sent them pics of the damage. Great customer svc!

[Derek2783]

Love this. Except for the lips. It looks a bit like he's undead.
