Final Thoughts Airtight isn't really a character I was that interested in, truth be told, so the idea of an Airtight figure seemed a little dull to me, especially as my most recent memory is of the Renegades version, who only appeared in a single episode and didn't seem to do much. So I really wasn't that excited about Airtight until I opened the pack and started looking at the figure in more detail. And at that point I realised that this is actually a really fun figure. Airtight has a cool, detailed sculpt, good articulation, just about the right amount of well-designed accessories and a really defined role or character. I particularly like it when you get a Joe that's not just a military specialist Airtight is just such a figure. I especially like that he makes a great companion-piece to Lifeline and I could imagine them working together as some kind of emergency response unit. Given the Compound Z/Hazard-Viper/Zombie-Viper theme of the 30th Anniversary figures, I get the impression - especially as he comes armed with a shotgun, too - that Airtight is somehow intended to fit into that mythology , maybe as the Joe's anti-zombie infection expert or something... Whether that's the case or not, I've no idea but I do like that the toy made me think of that, as it's always a treat to find a toy that so fires the imagination. A unique but very worthy addition to any Joe collector's roster. Final Score: A- Full Review Here: That Figures: REVIEW: GI Joe 30th Anniversary - Renegades Kurt ''Airtight'' Shnurr

This was my favorite figure of this wave. I would give me a perfect A if not A+. I can't really think of a bad thing about this figure. Maybe something for him to place his air purifier "gun" in the backpack is what is missing for me.

I don't think I've ever awarded an A+ score. A few A's for sure, but I don't think I've actually found an absolutely perfect toy (such a thing may not even exist!) but the yeah, as much as I love this new Airtight he would really have benefited from some way to store the gun or if they'd in some way been able to incorporate the air and purifier tanks then he'd have definitely scored even better. But an A- from That Figures is still a very, very good score.

I like this figure too. The two things I wished he had was a hood less head and that extra piece from the vintage line that attached to the top of his backpack.

I like the hood, to be honest. I'd be kind of annoyed if he neck was exposed when he wore the helmet over it. And yeah, the tubes would've looked good but I'd have probably complained about them inhibiting movement.

I finally found this at a target. I'm happy with the results. One of my favorite Joes as a kid. I wish there was a way to stow all his gear though.

This figure is as close to perfect as it gets.
Only gripe is the hose is creap and flimsy. Anyone know were to get the more durable, older style hose that come with ARAH Joes? |

By chemistry based supplier do you mean the old abandoned house that's become a meth lab in the seedy part of town? I can always knock on the door. I'm sure they're friendly.

Yeah, it would've been nice to have some way to connect the air tank and purifier tank together or something. And a shotgun holster/slot (although you can get it to stay between the pack and his back with a bit of jiggling.)
