I was mostly looking towards the "look" of the figures. You know me and my issue with Hasbro and the SEaLs always looking like divers.
At least now they give us a diver that is a diver and a SEaL-like (Naval Commando??) that is more SEaL-like then previous figures.

Speaking of the RoC Shipwreck action figure... it's surprisingly good. The accessories are excellent (although I wish they went with a chest mounted rebreather, instead of a SCUBA-type back-mounted tank). Even the blue-ish camo pants can pass for NWU pants in a pinch. |

I know alot of people don't like the RoC figures but I'm realy liking the unified looks and the similar weapons.

Sure, if the Captain is trained to make those decisions and understands the operation, why not. Captains make important command decisions all of the time, and they work as Intel and Comm Officers. Besides you got to start somewhere to gain experience. But realistically, a major or lt colonel would probably oversee the mission as Operations Officer of a small elite unit. However, the senior unit in the field is going to have to make the final decision as to whether the mission can be achieved.

They look pretty cool to me as well, aside for the huge spring loaded weapons that launch big colored projectiles that don't really belong! But I am not going to complain because of this addition to a cool figure

Have you guys seen the newest ROC pics of storm shadow with camo pattern, Desert ambush Ripcord with boonie hat, and two others? The Ripcord will make a good complement to desert ambush Duke.

I'm loving the grapple lines and all that stuff. I like Stone's and Breaker's Big Missiles. They at least stand on their own and look like missile emplacements.

Three down, three to go:
Skidmark, Windmill & Updraft Design notes: - Skidmark and Updraft were pretty straightforward updates. It was Windmill that I took a fair bit of artistic licence with. The original figure was pretty gaudy colour-wise (I wonder if the coincidental irony of a Jewish character coloured with the Christmas-y bright green and red motif was lost on the toy designers). |

The chopper pilots look great. It also sucked for the Joes that after Wild Bill and Lift Ticket, their chopper pilots look awful.
Skidmark looks great. Love the update.
