Doesn't mean I like it. If I get an opener, it will be to use his head on a custom.
The head sculpt does have a ton of detail, too bad Matt Trakker's head sculptor was more talented or was playing his "A Game" the day he sculpted it than say, Bazooka or Gung Ho, since their head sculpts don't really look like the classic characters.
The helmet looks straight out of Star Wars or the early 90s Joe line. Boo. This guy should have never been made. |

A pass for me.
I did like the MASK intro song though.

I despise this guy's inclusion in the Joe line, but if he's the only one from the M.A.S.K. universe, that sucks for the M.A.S.K. fans if you ask me.
Either do a M.A.S.K. revival line properly, or don't try and stuff the lame one-shot into another toyline which has nothing to do with it.
It was a completely wasted slot for the bazillion real Joes people still want, or even "new" Joes like Wraith or Parka Snake Eyes. |
