I hope it's just the angle, but right now that head looks like an oddly shaped potato.
25th Spirit was one of the, 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). OOtherwise, I think the builds itself works great and the SM colors are accurate.

It does seem to fit, and I may be the only person who'd be happy with it (if they tone down his neon green a bit). I'd prefer the two pigtail head had gotten redone, but I liked the AC Spirit back in the day and would likely enjoy a modern version if the parts selection is decent.

I'm also going to throw this out there - i have my doubts we're going to see 8.0.
I've asked the Club a handful of questions concerning memberships, referencing 8.0. They've never once used the term in return or in other postings. They've referred to the "last " FSS, but have never referenced it by number other than last JoeCon I think. After Hardball being kind of one foot in as far as deco goes, I wonder if the thought process was to make him hybrid in case 8.0 doesn't pan out.

Sadly, it actually would make sense for Air Commandos Spirit to be the 13th. He is the only Air Commando not made yet for both Joes and Cobras.
Also, if there was no plan to make the Air Commando (or IAF) Spirit, then this new head would be a real slap in the face for them to make instead of a vintage accurate one with the 2 pigtails.

Wow, I'm shocked. I didn't think for a second they would spring for a new Spirit head sculpt, but I was wrong. I stand corrected, and as everyone else is already saying, we'll definitely see that head used again (maybe twice!).
I don't quite get all the complaints, though, the whole figure looks pretty good to me. My biggest complaint is that Freedom is painted black -- did Spirit spray paint his bald eagle??

If we do end up getting another Spirit, I would rather get one based on the new sculpt "Devil's Due" version of the character. There was a really nice one in black that came out in a comic book pack with Hannibal I believe. |
