The vest is really short on Peek, my Flagg has one eyebrow that's mispainted, but otherwise this set is pretty cool.

The vest shouldn't look that short. It has a peg that goes into the figure's back. If adjusted correctly, the vest should touch his belt.

The vest isn't short actually with the back peg in place.

The pair of these is starting out selling over $100 on eBay. Darklon is still going for almost $50 and Salvo is actually going for $60+. Charbroil is about $30-35 and Viper about $30. Only one eBay seller Flashback Toyz seems to be cleaning up as he's sold about 30 of each FSS 5.0.

I checked and the peg from the vest was in. I just needed to adjust his torso as mine was bent all the way back at the joint. It looks normal now.

I was excited for Flagg when he was announced but the color choice on jacket and parts choice for legs killed it for me. I can't dig the knee pads for some reason

Looking at the out of package pics for Flagg the Giraffe neck definitely isn't as bad as people said. Honestly its entirely within normal anatomic possibility (I may be bias as I have a longer neck myself). Looks fine to me.
The knee pads are an odd choice when the figure doesn't have knee pads. However, I think the Black jacket rather than the brown is the correct choice, otherwise he looks way too much like 85 Hawk. I think this was the correct version of Flagg III to make. Now that we have Tomax in a suit for this FS, and Mayhem in a military Jacket, I hope one of those molds gets used for Flagg II (the original) in a future FSS or con set or exclusive. |

Yeah, the Flagg neck really doesn't look all that long in-person. I'm guessing the figure in the 1st picture has a head that isn't properly seated, which exaggerated the effect. I really love the overall look of this figure. It was one of the figures I was most looking forward to from the series, and it hasn't disappointed.
I didn't have much excitement for Sneak Peek...I didn't own Sneak Peek back in the day, so he's not a nostalgia character to me, nor one I was chomping at the bit to get. But, now that I have him, I do like him a lot. Choice of accessories isn't impeccable, but gets the job done. Love the colors. Wouldn't mind the head if he wasn't shipped with another figure using the exact same one. I just hope they don't make a habit of doing the same character two FSS in a row.
