I've liked all the figures up til now, I don't like Spirit. The head doesn't look like him at all. Looks more like an old Jinx than Spirit. I'd rather they used the 25th legs and Kwinn's body. That would have made a perfect Spirit.

I'm not surprised that his head looks like this. I was expecting something like this because I was quite sure the club would want to give us Air Commandos Spirit to fill out that set. Who knows, they might just repaint this Spirit in those colors and add one of the ROC gliders and make it a con exclusive. It technically wouldn't have been a vehicle as you can consider that glider a backpack add on.

Yes on both the legs and body. I don't think the head looks that bad. But I wish they would destroy that torso mold already. It sucks for a retail figure and blows even more for an exclusive.

I think Action Force seems even more likely. It's the same sculpt, but it's an international version.

The Commando Spirit and the international deco. You could see him in FSS whatever and you also might see him in the parachute drop. The silver chutes (I think I heard this some year) were dwindling down. The vintage gliders would be easy to replicate. Spirit (v3) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive It would be neat to see 500 gliders flying off the roof at the final con. Something different.

looking at the picture of Spirit again and I'm kinda wondering how those lower legs fit with those knee pads. I sure hope he can stand straight as I think the fur on the top of the boot would interfere with the kneepad.

Yeah, if they were gonna do a new head why didn't they give him the 2 pigtails instead of a pony tail. I know it's cause I'm sure they are going to make him into the Air Commando Spirit or the international deco mail order one. It's a shame really. Was excited about him, but he feels lackluster now. However, I am glad it's not the 25th head at least.

Probably either v3 for parachute figure or v4 in a IAF 3 pack or both. 2017 was year of the bat. 2018 can be the year of spirit.

Wow I really hope Air Commandos Spirit is not the missing sub team 13th figure. He looked like ass in the 90s and will in ME as well.

I hope it's just the angle, but right now that head looks like an oddly shaped potato.
25th Spirit was one of, if not the most maligned headsculpts of the entire line. While I do appreciate a new headsculpt, it's a huge missed opportunity not to gave a better version for all our collections. All the worse if the reason was to give us a figure no one wants (Air Commando) in the final few spots remaining (Con / FSS). Otherwise, I think the builds itself works great and the SM colors are accurate. Last edited by Dod Ear; 02-15-2018 at 09:06 PM.. |
