Firefly
This is probably the best Firefly ever made. He has more gear than Solid Snake ever had. The figure includes goggles, machine gun, flashlight, opening backpack from Falcon, pliers, C4, ammo satchel from the comic pack Beach Head, and the DTC Salvo launcher. The launcher is probably the most realistic out of the launchers given to the ROC figures. The figure is a Resolute Trooper with a Firefly comic pack head and Airborne's vest and webgear, but the come together perfectly. Final grade: A+ |

Shipwreck
Shipwreck works well here. I'd say he's more of a SEAL with this figure, including a spear gun, pistol, knife, diving fins, mask, and rebreather, and a huge missile launcher. He also has a newly colored Polly, the same one the 5 pack had. I woudl have prefered him all in camo or all in black, so I can't give him a perfect grade. Final Grade: A- |

Is the Shipwreck "face" the exact same one as in the 5-pack?

Is that a new belt on Shipwreck or is it a reuse from somewhere else?

Sorry, didn't have a chance to post Desert Duke. Shipwreck's head is brand new and the belt looks new, too.

Desert Ambush Duke
Overall, I like this figure. The more realistic feel works for him, like that RAH Duke in the desert camo that came out after Desert Storm. The figure includes a rifle, pistol, pack, helmet w/ night vision, a green thing I assume has something to do with nanotech, and a launcher. Duke's base is an actual dogtag design instead of the microchip look the other bases have. His outer coat is removable, but they didn't put any paint apps under it, so that does take away from the figure. Without the outer jacket, his neck looks short, but the jacket has a scarf sculpted on, with helps cover that up. The headsculpt is a pretty good likeness for Channing Tatum. The elbows actually have very good range of motion, but the wrists kinda spoil that by the right wrist being bent. It allows the figure to hold the rifle in a ready to fire stance, but it doesn't work well with the pistol. The launcher looks inspired by the one Arnold used in "Commando" or the launchers you usually use against the final bosses in the Resident Evil series.

A couple of other things with Duke:
His helmet matches his desert camo and comes with night vision monoculars attached to it that flips down. Also, the green nanomite thing has a place to fit inside of his backpack. |

Good reviews. I got some of these today too. I think Firefly's head is actually from Samurai Storm Shadow though.
