Well having stumbled on the photo I gotta say he looks great! After the descriptions of him reusing the Ace body I was a bit skeptical but it works very well, he's really reminescent of the original figure

I missed the pic, but he sounds great from the description.
When the line came out initially my brother asked where is Dusty and Wild Bill. I'm happy at the moment that I will be able to get him one of the two. (Come on Dusty...) |

Speaking of repaints; I know that Wild Weasel is cobbled together from at least the upper half of a Snow Job figure, but honestly I could care less because the overall Wild Weasel 'package' (if you will) looks great when the whole is considered, rather than just the individual parts. |

I say if repainting existing molds gets more characters out faster then by all means repaint.

Hasbro has been able to make many figures look completely different from one another using almost the same exact body (Firefly and Beachhead comes to mind) As someone already stated, Ace's base body is basically a generic flight suit, so using that then adding all the details that makes Wild-Bill who he is, the figure looks way better than some lazy repaint |

plus they've done a fantastic job with giving us new heads and accessories, and especially the web gear (it's amazing how much that ads, like on Beachhead and Firefly) you can think of it this way to, any figure you get as a redeco is one you probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise. ...not to mention that it's been this way since 1982;)

His head looks a little smallish... but the overall effect is just GREAT!

Just looked at the pic. He looks awesome. The holsters do seem a little wide but overall he looks great.
