Yeah, the chest is the best part, and you can always swap his legs for someone else's. Speaking of swaps, I put Outback's head on Big Brawler and love the result. Big B's body is just a repainted Outback's anyway, but it makes Outback look slightly more covert without the white shirt. The NF Outback is cool but I think this custom version is way better looking.

I'm pissed. Picked up an extra Firefly to use his webgear, backpack and gun for my Joe Armorer. The webgear doesn't come off. Oh well... will have to go to my original idea of a Bazooka Troopers webgear.
Still undecided on what body/head to use. I'm leaning towards a Double Clutch body cause it's got the knife sheath and sidearm holster.

Which Firefly? Resolute? I passed on this one. That sucks about the webgear. Are you going to paint him or just do part swaps?

The 2007 one. I looked at the other 3 (Greenshirt pack and Wave 13) and the colors of the webgear/equipment (which is what I really wanted, the backpack) didn't work as well. The gray is better. Part swap. Haven't gotten up the courage to try painting yet. Got a comic pack Scarlett that's sitting around waiting for that (going to become Night Force Scarlett). I have an extra comic pack Hawk sitting around, and since my default Hawk for the 25th stuff is the brown jacket one and the CP doesn't look like it, going to use that head. The body just isn't that good though. I like the Double Clutch cause it's got the extra sidearm spot which I think would be good on a munitions/armorer guy.

Oh nevermind I was thinking the Firefly that came out with the wave of Resolute figures was a Resolute Firefly. I didn't like this version but I'm excited about the Hall of Heroes version because his dark colors are closer to the actual card art colors. And he comes with a ton of gear. What do you think of the Hall of Heroes that are coming out?
I think it's kind of bogus to call them Hall of Heroes and all they are is the same thing that was already released. Flint came out in the 5-pack for example. They come with all the gear from all the releases of that figure and really, that's about it. The Viper came out in the 5-pack. Firefly is really the only one that is really unique to that wave, and yeah comes with a ton of gear. So I'm pretty disappointed in 'em. I only ordered Firefly, Flint and Beachhead (for display only). edit: I actually liked the Wave 13 Firefly alot. For some reason I loved that color scheme.

Yeah, I thought the point of the Hall of Heroes was to re-create our favorite characters. Make em a little different, but the two Snake Eyes are exactly the same as the previous ones. Hell, they could have at least given Snake v2 a backpack this time around. I'm gettin the Firefly and Flint (because of the pack and gloves), but everything else is blah. And I only want the baroness from the cobra 5-pack, but they're not releasing her on a single.

I also wouldn't mind pickin up some of the Vipers with vac-metal face plates but I can't remember if the Viper pack that is coming out--the one with Mercer--has this version or not.

Yeah, if they hadn't already done "fixed" versions of Flint, Zartan, Viper, etc.. then that would be different.
But all the figures are is the character with all the gear the various releases have had. That's not "hall of heroes". If they had done more like Firefly, kind of an "ultimate" version. Then that would have been awesome.
