I think the 1993 Beachhead design is solid considering the other figures that came out in 1993, but the colours don't appeal to me at all (which could be said about a lot of the 1990s ARAH stuff). Also, I'm not a big fan of characters with balaclavas having the fine details of their noses and lips sculpted as almost poking through the fabric of their masks (this also extended to the figure's card art... what's the point of wearing a mask when your face's features show through it anyway?).

Nice. You should totally post pics if and when you get around to completing it.

I think it is netting. There was a series of military books called the Power Series from a company called Motorbooks. The Navy SEAL book showed a pic with a guy doing CQB training. He's wearing a type of netting instead of a balaclava. You don't see that look often, but it was real world based. I liked that figure a lot. It made a great base for my SEAL Team 6 fireteam. I did head swaps with Battle Corps Stalker, Star Brigade Sci-Fi, Shockwave V2 and Static Line. I probably would have bought more, but they started repainting the vests yellow.

I don't know why--something about the helmet and goggles--but I use this Beach Head as a doorgunner on the Joe's HH-60H Seahawk for SEAL insertions, VBSS ops, SAR and other missions. The '94 version has even worse colors with the yellow vest, which always makes me think of a life preserver.

So I may have missed it, but are there any links of the Mission Brazil II file cards?
