Finally a modern version Airborne. And consisting of several new parts too! I think I actually was looking forward to this figure the most out of the wave, although Zartan was a close second. And this one did not disappoint. (not insinuating that Zartan does)
It looks like the body for this one is the same as the Snake Eyes/Original trooper style torso, with an all new head, arms, hands, modified left upper leg from Gung-Ho, and right leg Gung Ho, while the knees are new. Belt and vest are also new. The belt is removable, but only if the legs are disassembled. Now, while several parts are not new, the only ones that are easily recognizable are the lower legs, but this figure looks so nice, you certainly shouldn't care. Nice detailing on the backpack and helmet, and the rifle is excellent. This is certainly a good looking figure, and only suffers the same drawbacks as most, which is range of motion in the arms. FIGURE RATING: 9 out of 10

This is definitely one of the best they've done. And the legs bring me one step closer to updating my Steel Brigade custom!

Airborne is one of the best Modern Era figs so far IMO!! The fact he actually got a new rifle & backpack (when they easily could have used a CG rifle & TF Duke's backpack) shows a nice commitment to quality in this fig. The colors & overall sculpt/aesthetic are excellent!! 9/10!!
