Beachhead

Does Anyone know the reason behind the polar opposite of Beachhead's file card to his portrayal in the cartoon? He was Always a secondary character in the Marvel run so I didn't really notice his vastly different personality from the Cartoon. His file card says he doesn't get Angry because it is a waste of energy. He only gets even. In the cartoon he's the Angriest mutha F#$%^& there is. I love Beachhead he's one of my top five favorite Joes. Either way he's potrayed was fine by me but who's the REAL Beachhead?

Also is the series 2 2007 Beachhead the best figure or the new wave 6 comic pack version?

I went with the comic pack version. I love the v1 colors. but I love the throw back to the original figure even more. I'm a sucker for nostalgia and the comic pack version matches botht he original figure and cartoon version the almost to a t.

Devil's Due kind of split the middle - he's definitely angry and mean, but far more intelligent than he seemed in the cartoon. It is interesting hearing the file card description - that seems more like the cartoon version of Lowlight!

He didn't come off as unintelligent to me in the cartoon. Of course he was pissed off in almost every scene he was in.

I prefer the colors in the comic pack version.

I love both versions. The wave 2 is still one of my favorite figures in the whole line. That being said, I just got the comic version today and it is pure awesome! This is going to be my main BH to be displayed. I love the second head, I just wish he would have came with a backpack.

Just use the one from the v1 release. If not getting the backpack with the comic pack version is what gave us the ammo bag, then I'm happy with the loss. I just used the pack from the v1 and I have a complete updated ARAH v1 BEachhead. VERY cool.
