I'm not usually too negative about this hobby. Hell, I even thought the RoC line was awesome. But there's just something about the lack of ankle articulation on these Retaliation figures that trolls me hard. I'm not going to beat that long-dead horse, though.
So on a positive note, I really dig the head sculpt and beret, and will probably use this guy and his accessories for some type of customization. I like the overall look of the figure.

I don't hate the figure but it seems a bit thin and narrow-shouldered for an elite soldier. The colors are too pale for me, as well.
I don't think I can purchase a solid footed figure just out of principle. I'm sure its fine for a child, but it would really bother me on a visceral level.

Figure looks better than when I first saw him.

I'm with ya. I'm just spiled by the previous figures articulation. The beret being removable is nice for custom fodder.

But you got to admit it's like test driving a Porsche for five years, giving back the keys and driving away in a Honda Civic. The Civic's not a bad car, it'll get you around town, but it's just not the same.

The reason the first couple of waves are not movie accurate is because they are based on the concept art for the movie. The toy line got pushed up when the original movie date did so they had to get the toys out befor the final designs for the movie was done. We should be getting better movie acurate figures after the movie has been released.

I do REALLY like this figure. The head is a bit off ratio, but it is not a reason not to buy him. Like I said, it kinda reminds me of those marionette puppets from The Thunderbirds or Team America.

Well the head looks good on the Hall of Heros Flint body although the skin tone is a bit off , but I can fix that.

Is this the one without the ankle articulation? The design looks cool though. I've always been a fan of the Flint character.
