FROSTBITE (ROC) *** (3 out of 5) A smart purchase for me was this Frostbite, mostly because I did not want the Ice Dagger vehicle that will be coming along with this figure when ROC drops. And with what a lightweight this figure is, I'm glad I spent just a few bucks to get the figure alone. Every pic I have seen of him, this figure included, shows him with no weapons, even the in-box pics. *I added a rifle/backpack to the pics for dynamic photo purposes only. ALSO, this figure has NO TEST-SHOT markings & appears to be the FINAL PRODUCT. The figure's construction is that of Snake Eyes (Arctic Trooper) w/ a BeachHead v1 head. The head although nicely sculpted, offers a very limited range of motion. The color scheme is great, with the military green pants, blueish white jacket, & black mask. Although his neck/undercoat is white, & his joints are green, which takes away somewhat from this figure & is a practice we have seen more recently w/Joe & has been very present in Star Wars. Although this figure barely represents any pf Frostbite's ARAH interpretations, I am glad that he is a unique character rather than just being "Arctic BeachHead." Good not great. Recommended for Frostbite enthusiasts, customizers, completionists, or Ice Dagger wanters. Last edited by Steel Brigade; 06-01-2009 at 12:03 PM.. |

Really wish they would have made it a single carded figure. I could have bought several of them to make LBC's of other figures. But, Hasblo knows this, they would rather a few deep pockets buy several Ice Daggers to get the figs than a lot of us buying several single carded figs I guess. Don't make sense to me, I think the end result would have been more $ in their pockets. Maybe they will release a color variant in sngl cded form, you know like only they can do, dayglow orange coat and pink pants. Maybe make it a Target exclusive and put their logo on the front and back of the coat.

White upper arms + army green shoulder joints = no thank you.

I agree with you there too. I think the white jacket looks better then the blue one that came with SE.
