The Sharc Tooth is pretty much unchanged. The cockpit was already big enough, the pop up cannons and removable engine cover still work the same. Just like the Night Specter, the canopy has a retooled latch to make it impossible to pop open. (Great for when you fly the Sharc Tooth upside down around the house) Since the pegs that hold the missiles are too big for the new figures, three pegs were added to the underside. One is for the back hole of a figure and the other two are handles. There isn’t enough room to fit a figure and two missiles at the same time. The stickers are more like the first wave of vehicles, being glossy. There have been some updates there too. Stickers that originally had lines to simulate miniature writing, now have actual writing. However, it’s too small for me to make out, but it looks better than some random lines. Some stickers were also miniaturized and seem to fit better than the originals did.
Even though we’ve seen this vehicle dozens of times over the years, it’s still nice to see it in it’s classic color scheme. The addition of the pegs for a diver to attach to the bottom was a nice touch. Vehicle Rating: 7 out of 10 Last edited by Shogi; 08-31-2011 at 06:14 PM.. |

Deep Six is what I’d call an homage figure. He looks just like his original counterpart with a few upgrades. This time around he can bend his elbows and rotate his wrists. Also his dome can come off and he has a ball joint neck like all the other figures. There is also a clear plastic shoulder light now. The bellows work just like they did originally. The peg for the hose has now been recessed into the body to avoid breakage. Deep Six comes with Bellows, removable Dome Helmet and a GI Joe Stand.
While Deep Six may have the least amount of articulation in this line, this doesn’t hinder the figure at all in my eyes. The suit itself always looked to be very bulky and not something Deep Six would be running around in anyway so the lack of articulation isn’t a big deal to me. He has the same playability the original figure had I felt like a kid again making Deep Six rise and sink in the water over and over again. The only drawback I have with the figure is that it really is only suited for sea dios and not much else. Figure Rating: 7 out of 10 Last edited by Shogi; 08-31-2011 at 06:14 PM.. |

I love the fact that they stayed true to the original with this one. Too bad you couldn't pop the suit open to find a Deep Six in a wetsuit underneath.

2 interesting notes that I observed:
1) Deep Six comes with a 2 peg stand, but both his feet could never be on each peg at the same time 2) The directions list the front stick as "SA-Sharc-335m" with "Tooth" on the bottom of it, but the stickers just say Sharc without the Tooth part.

I'm glad they brought back the idea of putting a fig on the bottom.That was the first thing i done with my non-sharc,checked to see if you could still do that.I can't wait to get one and put Deep-six in the sink,just to watch him go up and down.
