It's the torso they used is why the vest is alittle high and doesn't line up with the shoulders on the Worms Officer and that is what is throwing people off on why he looks odd. That is why I mentioned above about being curious on the torso they used on him, but the vest looks fine on Sub Zero and I'm just curious on what they used for his torso. Just saw on Facebook a pic of Worms Officer without his helmet and they used Beachhead's head and if you look closely at the shoulder area, it clearly shows that the vest is alittle high and I think the only way to fix it, is to change the upper arms.

And the next 3 are up - Worms Officer, Ghostrider & Rampart.
https://www.facebook.com/GIJoeCollec...type=3&theater Like drakan649 said above, whatever torso they used doesn't work with that jacket - it sits way too high on it - and in addition to a retarded gap above the shoulders, the helmet looks even bigger and now rides way too high, which makes the fact that the Club cheaped out and used the old-school helmet (which is way too big and lacking in detail to begin with) instead of bothering to have a new helmet tooled even worse. Might be passing on this one, unless it looks 100x better in-hand. Shame, as the mock-up pic looked good (he does have a funky 50's sci-fi vibe, which is fun). But hey, at least it's got a REAL CLOTH ASCOT, Right?

Honestly, I'm cool with the build up to the neck...but that neck needs a slight bit of giraffe!

I think it's just how they took the picture. Once in hand, you can move the vest down.

Rampart looks great! The rest are a bit mediocre in body build, both of their jackets do not work and that helmet looks like a vintage repro rather than a new sculpt which was really disappointing with Charbroil.

COBRA W.O.R.M.S. OFFICER looks terrible. Instead of a removeable jacket, they should have sculpted it as part of the torso. This was one of the only figures I was really looking forward to in the series since I had the original and this update is just play crap. I really hope it looks better in hand because that photo...ugh....

Another factor in the WORMS jacket sitting high probably is the cloth ascott keep in mind. Tucking a couple millimeters of cloth (or more if its knotted) between the jacekt and the torso could cause it to ride up that much alone.
Its a major reason I'm firmly against any cloth good on 4 inch figures. The scale simply doesn't allow for the bulk. |

His arms are also raised and his feet apart.
