excellente...
NF Charbroil has a personal attachment for me & is one of my favorite original repaints, so I'm glad they didn't go with the straight blue/grey repaint of the ROC Charbroil. That figure borrowed way too much from Blowtorch & never felt like Charbroil proper to me... This is a bit more POC than 25th than I may have hoped for, but given the option of an ROC repaint of a repaint, I'm more than happy with this...

I love the figure, but I really wish they would have stayed true to the Night Force accessories and gone with a black, possibly with some silver or gray details.
I realize a lot of the con exclusive use gray accessories, but in this case black would have looked more realistic and been a better homage to the originals. |

I am glad to see these are 25th type versions of the originals, and not some wacky club update or even using that crappy green grid pattern from a few years back.

'Reminds me of this:
If we still had flame throwers in the military (that we use) I bet they'd make a uniform like this for them to wear in this modern world of velcro and reflective belts Tom

A very nice homage to the original. not keen on the shiny bits but perhaps if Hasbro had the paint, they would have made the original variant shiny like the chromed up brown and yellow version one.
I too like the fact that they didn't just repaint a 2009 Charbroil and take the easy way out.
