Barbecue is one of the examples of when reused molds can be a good thing. This figure is mostly made up of a Wild Weasel body with a few additions to it. Those additions make all the difference.
New removable Shoulder pads, Belt and Air tank make the torso look like a whole new part instead of the same thing we've seen on Wild Weasel and Snow Job, while the new gear on the sides of the legs and the new lower legs along with the new Head round out a classic look on this new figure. Barbecue has all the old gear you know and love, Fireman's Axe, Backpack tank with gun spray nozzle attached by a hose and a GI Joe stand with his name on it. This is another great update to a classic figure. The reuse of body parts on this figure is only slightly noticeable and doesn't detract from the figure in any way. This doesn't look like Wild Weasel disguised as Barbecue, it is Barbecue. I would have loved a removable helmet on this figure, but the result may have wound up being just too much stuff on the upper half of the figure.

did the same thing delta, cept i plan on painting his hair more reddish like it was in the toon, the reddish orange color to match q more. :> I think the only thing that woulda made this figure a 10 is if he had someplace to attach the handle to his firefighting thing.

I like the fact that the helmet isn't removable...sometimes there is just overkill. However, I really like your idea of a hook...or clasp, to hold his gun. Overall...a really nice figure to go along with a solid wave 9!

its a pretty okay figure to me. space on the back pack for the nozzle wouldve been nice....or space on the back pack for the axe wouldve been nice. i like a figure that can stow their accessories.
im glad to have it, but i think it couldve been a tad better. |

Posted from the other Barbecue thread:
Sooo....has anyone been able to get his left hand to hold anything? Other than that one glaring flaw, he's damn near perfect. Although, I think that tank on his chest is a bit large....and looks like a perfect bullseye for any Cobra Trooper or sniper. :p
